Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Khandhaka 11 (Culavagga 1) - Saṅgha Procedures

1Homage to the Buddha, the Perfected One, the fully Awakened One

2At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka were quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha. They went to other monks who were also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha, and said to them: “Don’t let him beat you. Argue back forcefully. You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he. Don’t be afraid of him. We’ll take your side.” Because of that, new quarrels started and existing quarrels became worse.


The monks of few desires complained and criticized them: “How can the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka act like this?”


3They told the Buddha. Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks:

“Is it true, monks, that the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are acting like this?”


“It’s true, Sir.”

The Buddha rebuked them: “It’s not suitable for those foolish men, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done. How can they act like this, causing that new quarrels to start and existing quarrels to become worse? This will affect people’s confidence, and cause some to lose it.”


4The Buddha then spoke in many ways in dispraise of being difficult to support and maintain, in dispraise of great desires, discontent, socializing, and laziness; but he spoke in many ways in praise of being easy to support and maintain, of fewness of wishes, contentment, self-effacement, ascetic practices, serenity, reduction in things, and being energetic. After giving a teaching on what is right and proper, he addressed the monks:


5“Well then, monks, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. And this is how it should be done.

First you should accuse the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. They should then be reminded of what they’ve done, before they’re charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:


6‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha. They go to other monks who are also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha, and they say to them:

“Don’t let him beat you. Argue back forcefully. You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he. Don’t be afraid of him. We’ll take your side.” Because of this, new quarrels start and existing quarrels become worse. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. This is the motion.

Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha. They go to other monks who are also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha, and they say to them:

7“Don’t let him beat you. Argue back forcefully. You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he. Don’t be afraid of him. We’ll take your side.” Because of this, new quarrels start and existing quarrels become worse. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

For the second time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha. They go to other monks who are also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha, and they say to them:

8“Don’t let him beat you. Argue back forcefully. You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he. Don’t be afraid of him. We’ll take your side.” Because of this, new quarrels start and existing quarrels become worse. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.


For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha. They go to other monks who are also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha, and they say to them:

“Don’t let him beat you. Argue back forcefully. You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he. Don’t be afraid of him. We’ll take your side.” Because of this, new quarrels start and existing quarrels become worse. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.


9The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

1.1 The group of twelve on illegitimate legal procedures

35The group of twelve on legitimate legal procedures is finished.

1.3 The group of six on wishing

36“When a monk has three qualities, the Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a legal procedure of condemnation against him: he’s quarrelsome, argumentative, and a creator of legal issues in the Saṅgha; he’s ignorant and incompetent, often committing offenses, lacking in boundaries; he’s constantly and improperly socializing with householders.

37When a monk has another three qualities, the Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of condemnation against him: he has failed in the higher morality; he has failed in conduct; he has failed in view.

38When a monk has another three qualities, the Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of condemnation against him: he disparages the Buddha; he disparages the Teaching; he disparages the Saṅgha.

39“The Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of condemnation against three kinds of monks: those who are quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Saṅgha; those who are ignorant and incompetent, often committing offenses, lacking in boundaries; those who are constantly and improperly socializing with householders.

40The Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of condemnation against another three kinds of monks: those who’ve failed in the higher morality; those who’ve failed in conduct; those who’ve failed in view.

41The Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of condemnation against another three kinds of monks: those who disparage the Buddha; those who disparage the Teaching; those who disparage the Saṅgha.”

42The group of six on wishing is finished.

1.4 The eighteen kinds of conduct

  4. He shouldn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns.

44The eighteen kinds of conduct in regard to the legal procedure of condemnation are finished.

1.5 The group of eighteen on not to be lifted

45When the Saṅgha had done a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka, they conducted themselves properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. They then went to the monks and told them about this, adding: “What should we do now?” The monks told the Buddha …

“Well then, lift that legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka.


46When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of condemnation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he gives the full ordination; he gives formal support; he has a novice monk attend on him; he accepts being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he instructs the nuns, whether appointed or not.

47When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of condemnation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he commits the same offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he commits an offense similar to the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he commits an offense worse than the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he criticizes the procedure; he criticizes those who did the procedure.

48When a monk has eight qualities, a procedure of condemnation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he cancels the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk; he cancels the invitation ceremony of a regular monk; he directs a regular monk; he gives instructions to a regular monk; he gets permission from a regular monk to correct him; he accuses a regular monk of an offense; he reminds a regular monk of an offense; he associates inappropriately with other monks.”

1.6 The group of eighteen on to be lifted

50“When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of condemnation against him should be lifted: he doesn’t give the full ordination; he doesn’t give formal support; he doesn’t have a novice monk attend on him; he doesn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he doesn’t instruct the nuns, whether appointed or not.

51When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of condemnation against him should be lifted: he doesn’t commit the same offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he doesn’t commit an offense similar to the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he doesn’t commit an offense worse than the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of condemnation against him; he doesn’t criticize the procedure; he doesn’t criticize those who did the procedure.

53The group of eighteen on to be lifted is finished.

54“And this is how it should be lifted. After approaching the Saṅgha, the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka should put their upper robes over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on their heels, raise their joined palms, and say:

‘Venerables, the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against us. We’re now conducting ourselves properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. We ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And they should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

55‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against these monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. They’re now conducting themselves properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. They’re asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should lift that legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. This is the motion.

56Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against these monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. They’re now conducting themselves properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. They’re asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. The Saṅgha lifts that legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. Any monk who approves of lifting that legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

57For the second time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against these monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka.

Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

58For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against these monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka.

Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

59The Saṅgha has lifted that legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

60The first section on the legal procedure of condemnation is finished.

2. The legal procedure of demotion

61At that time Venerable Seyyasaka was ignorant and incompetent, often committing offenses, and lacking in boundaries. And he was constantly and improperly socializing with householders. In addition, the monks regularly gave him probation, sent him back to the beginning, gave him trial periods, and rehabilitated him.


The monks of few desires complained and criticized him: “How can Venerable Seyyasaka go on like this?” They told the Buddha.


62Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks:

“Is it true, monks, that the monk Seyyasaka goes on like this?”


“It’s true, Sir.”

The Buddha rebuked him:


“It’s not suitable for that foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done. How can he be ignorant and incompetent, often committing offenses, and lacking in boundaries? How can he constantly and improperly socialize with householders? And how can it be that the monks regularly give him probation, send him back to the beginning, give him trial periods, and rehabilitate him? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

“Well then, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of demotion against the monk Seyyasaka, instructing him to live with formal support.


And this is how it should be done. First you should accuse the monk Seyyasaka. He should then be reminded of what he has done, before he’s charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:


63‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Seyyasaka is ignorant and incompetent, often committing offenses, and lacking in boundaries. He’s constantly and improperly socializing with householders. In addition, the monks regularly give him probation, send him back to the beginning, give him the trial period, and rehabilitate him. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of demotion against the monk Seyyasaka, instructing him to live with formal support. This is the motion.

The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of demotion against the monk Seyyasaka, instructing him to live with formal support. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

65For the second time I speak on this matter. … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen.

  1. He shouldn’t give the full ordination.
  2. He shouldn’t give formal support.
  3. He shouldn’t have a novice monk attend on him.
  4. He shouldn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns.
  5. Even if appointed, he shouldn’t instruct the nuns.
  6. He shouldn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him.
  7. He shouldn’t commit an offense similar to the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him.
  8. He shouldn’t commit an offense worse than the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him.
  9. He shouldn’t criticize the procedure.
  10. He shouldn’t criticize those who did the procedure.
  11. He shouldn’t cancel the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk.
  12. He shouldn’t cancel the invitation ceremony of a regular monk.
  13. He shouldn’t direct a regular monk.
  14. He shouldn’t give instructions to a regular monk.
  15. He shouldn’t get permission from a regular monk to correct him.
  16. He shouldn’t accuse a regular monk of an offense.
  17. He shouldn’t remind a regular monk of an offense.
  18. He shouldn’t associate inappropriately with other monks.”

101The eighteen kinds of conduct in regard to the legal procedure of demotion are finished.

102Soon the Saṅgha did a legal procedure of demotion against the monk Seyyasaka, instructing him to live with formal support. Then, by associating with good friends, by having them recite, and by questioning them, he became learned and a master of the tradition; he became an expert on the Teaching, the Monastic Law, and the Key Terms; he became knowledgeable and competent, had a sense of conscience, and was afraid of wrongdoing and fond of the training. And he conducted himself properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. He then went to the monks and told them about this, adding: “What should I do now?” The monks told the Buddha. He had the monks gathered and said:


“Well then, lift that legal procedure of demotion against the monk Seyyasaka.”

2.5 The group of eighteen on not to be lifted

103“When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of demotion against him shouldn’t be lifted: he gives the full ordination; he gives formal support; he has a novice monk attend on him; he accepts being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he instructs the nuns, whether appointed or not.

104When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of demotion against him shouldn’t be lifted: he commits the same offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him; he commits an offense similar to the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him; he commits an offense worse than the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of demotion against him; he criticizes the procedure; he criticizes those who did the procedure.

111“And this is how it should be lifted. After approaching the Saṅgha, the monk Seyyasaka should put his upper robes over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say, ‘Venerables, the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of demotion against me. I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

117The second section on the legal procedure of demotion is finished.

3. The legal procedure of banishment

118At one time the bad and shameless monks Assaji and Punabbasuka were staying at Kīṭāgiri. They were misbehaving in many ways.

They planted flowering trees, watered and plucked them, and then tied the flowers together. They made the flowers into garlands, garlands with stalks on one side and garlands with stalks on both sides. They made flower arrangements, wreaths, ornaments for the head, ornaments for the ears, and ornaments for the chest. And they had others do the same. They then took these things, or sent them, to the women, the daughters, the girls, the daughters-in-law, and the female slaves of respectable families.

They ate from the same plates as these women and drank from the same vessels. They sat on the same seats as them, and they lay down on the same beds, on the same sheets, under the same covers, both on the same sheets and under the same covers. They ate at the wrong time, drank alcohol, and wore garlands, perfumes, and cosmetics. They danced, sang, played instruments, and performed. While the women were dancing, singing, playing instruments, and performing, so would they.

They played various games: eight-row checkers, ten-row checkers, imaginary checkers, hopscotch, pick-up-sticks, dice, tip-cat, painting with the hand, ball games, leaf flutes, toy plows, somersaults, toy windmills, toy measures, toy carriages, toy bows, letter guessing, thought guessing, mimicking deformities. They trained in elephant riding, in horsemanship, in carriage riding, in archery, in swordsmanship. And they ran in front of elephants, in front of horses, and in front of carriages, and they ran backward and forward. They whistled, clapped their hands, wrestled, and boxed. They spread their outer robe on a stage and said to the dancing girls: “Dance here, Sister,” and they made gestures of approval. And they misbehaved in a variety of ways.


119Just then a monk who had completed the rains residence in Kāsī was on his way to visit the Buddha at Sāvatthī when he arrived at Kīṭāgiri. In the morning he robed up, took his bowl and robe, and entered Kīṭāgiri to collect almsfood. He was pleasing in his conduct: in going out and coming back, in looking ahead and looking aside, in bending and stretching his arms. His eyes were lowered, and he was perfect in deportment.


When people saw him, they said:

“Who’s this, acting like a moron and always frowning? Who’s gonna give almsfood to him? Almsfood should be given to our Venerables Assaji and Punabbasuka, for they’re gentle, congenial, pleasant to speak with, greeting one with a smile, welcoming, friendly, open, the first to speak.”


120-122A certain lay follower saw that monk walking for alms in Kīṭāgiri. He approached him, bowed, and said: “Venerable, have you received any almsfood?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“Come, let’s go to my house.”


He took that monk to his house and gave him a meal. He then said: “Where are you going, Venerable?”

“I’m going to Sāvatthī to see the Buddha.”


“Well then, would you please pay respect at the feet of the Buddha in my name and say, ‘Venerable Sir, the monastery at Kīṭāgiri has been corrupted. The bad and shameless monks Assaji and Punabbasuka are staying there. And they’re misbehaving in many ways. They plant flowering trees, water them …

And they misbehave in a variety of ways. Those who previously had faith and confidence have now lost it, and there’s no longer any support for the Saṅgha. The good monks have left and the bad monks are staying on. Sir, please send monks to stay at the monastery in Kīṭāgiri.’”


The monk consented, got up, and set out for Sāvatthī. When he eventually arrived, he went to the Buddha in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. He bowed to the Buddha and sat down. Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly arrived monks, the Buddha said to him:

“I hope you are keeping well, monk, I hope you’re getting by. I hope you’re not tired from traveling. And where have you come from?”


“I’m keeping well, Venerable Sir, I’m getting by. I’m not tired from traveling.” He then told the Buddha all that had happened at Kīṭāgiri, adding: “That’s where I’ve come from, Sir.”


123Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks:

“Is it true, monks, that the bad and shameless monks Assaji and Punabbasuka are staying at Kīṭāgiri and misbehaving in this way? And is it true that those people who previously had faith and confidence have now lost it, that there’s no longer any support for the Saṅgha, and that the good monks have left and the bad monks are staying on?”

“It’s true, Sir.”


The Buddha rebuked them: “It’s not suitable … How can those foolish men misbehave in this way? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking them … he gave a teaching and addressed Sāriputta and Moggallāna:


“Go to Kīṭāgiri and do a legal procedure of banishing the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka. They’re your students.”

124“Sir, how can we do a procedure of banishing these monks from Kīṭāgiri? They’re temperamental and harsh.”

“Well then, take many monks.”


“Alright.”


“And this is how it should be done. First you should accuse the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka. They should then be reminded of what they’ve done, before they’re charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

125‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks, Assaji and Punabbasuka, are corrupters of families and badly behaved. Their bad behavior is seen and heard about, and the families corrupted by them are seen and heard about. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of banishing them, prohibiting the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka from staying at Kīṭāgiri. This is the motion.

126Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks, Assaji and Punabbasuka, are corrupters of families and badly behaved. Their bad behavior is seen and heard about, and the families corrupted by them are seen and heard about. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of banishing them, prohibiting the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka from staying at Kīṭāgiri. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.


127For the second time I speak on this matter … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. These monks, Assaji and Punabbasuka, are corrupters of families and badly behaved. Their bad behavior is seen and heard about, and the families corrupted by them are seen and heard about. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of banishing them, prohibiting the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka from staying at Kīṭāgiri. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

128The Saṅgha has done the legal procedure of banishing the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka, prohibiting them from staying at Kīṭāgiri. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

3.4 The eighteen kinds of conduct

150“A monk who’s had a legal procedure of banishment done against himself should conduct himself properly. This is the proper conduct:

151The eighteen kinds of conduct in regard to the legal procedure of banishment are finished.


152Soon afterwards a saṅgha of monks, headed by Sāriputta and Moggallāna, went to Kīṭāgiri and did the legal procedure of banishing the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka, prohibiting them from staying at Kīṭāgiri. Even so, they did not conduct themselves properly or suitably so as to deserve to be released, nor did they ask the monks for forgiveness. Instead they abused and reviled them, and they slandered them as acting from desire, ill will, confusion, and fear. And they left and they disrobed. The monks of few desires complained and criticized them: “How can these monks act like this when the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of banishing them?”

They told the Buddha.


153Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is it true, monks, that the monks Assaji and Punabbasuka are acting like this?”

“It’s true, Sir.”


The Buddha rebuked them … “It’s not suitable … How can those foolish men act like this? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking them … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:


“Well then, don’t lift that legal procedure of banishment.”

4. The legal procedure of reconciliation

168At one time Venerable Sudhamma was the staying at the householder Citta’s monastery at Macchikāsaṇḍa. He was in charge of the building work and received a regular supply of food. Whenever Citta wanted to invite the Saṅgha, a group of monks, or an individual monk, he would not do so without getting permission from Sudhamma.

169On one occasion a number of senior monks—Venerable Sāriputta, Venerable Mahāmoggallāna, Venerable Mahākaccāna, Venerable Mahākoṭṭhika, Venerable Mahākappina, Venerable Mahācunda, Venerable Anuruddha, Venerable Revata, Venerable Upāli, Venerable Ānanda, Venerable Rāhula—were wandering in Kāsī, when they arrived at Macchikāsaṇḍa.


170When Citta heard that they had arrived, he went to them, bowed, and sat down. After Sāriputta had instructed, inspired, and gladdened Citta with a teaching,


171Citta said: “Venerables, please accept a meal for visitors from me tomorrow.” They accepted by remaining silent.

172When he knew that they had accepted, Citta got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated them with his right side toward them, and went to Sudhamma. He bowed to him and said:

“Venerable, please accept tomorrow’s meal from me together with the senior monks.”


Sudhamma thought: “Previously when Citta wanted to invite the Saṅgha, a group of monks, or an individual monk, he wouldn’t do so without getting my permission. But now he has. He’s been corrupted, this Citta. He’s uninterested and has no affection for me.” He said to Citta:

“There’s no need. I won’t accept.”


Citta asked him a second and a third time, but got the same reply.


He thought: “What difference does it make to me whether Sudhamma accepts or not?” He then bowed, circumambulated Sudhamma with his right side toward him, and left.


173The following morning Citta prepared various kinds of fine food for the senior monks. Sudhamma thought: “Why don’t I go and see what Citta has prepared for the senior monks?” He then robed up, took his bowl and robe, and went to Citta’s house, where he sat down on the prepared seat. Citta approached Sudhamma, bowed, and sat down. And Sudhamma said to him:

“You have prepared many kinds of food. But there’s one that’s missing: sesame cookies.”


“When there are so many jewels in the word of the Buddha, Sir, you speak of sesame cookies. In the past there were some traders from the south who went to an eastern country to trade. From there they brought back a hen. That hen mated with a crow and because of that she had a chick. When that chick wanted to caw like a crow, it cried, ‘caw-ca-doodle-doo.’ And when that chick wanted to crow like a rooster, it cried, ‘cock-a-doodle-caw.’ In the same way, when there are so many jewels in the word of the Buddha, you speak of sesame cookies.”

“Householder, you’re abusing and insulting me. I will leave your monastery.”


“I’m not abusing and insulting you. Please stay at Macchikāsaṇḍa. The mango grove is delightful. I’ll do my best to supply you with robe-cloth, almsfood, a dwelling, and medicinal supplies.”

Sudhamma repeated what he had said a second time and Citta responded as before. When Sudhamma repeated it a third time, Citta said: “Where will you go?”

“I’ll go to Sāvatthī to visit the Buddha.”

“Well then, please tell the Buddha of our entire conversation. And I would not be surprised if you returned to Macchikāsaṇḍa.”

174Sudhamma put his dwelling in order, took his bowl and robe, and left for Sāvatthī. When he eventually arrived, he went to the Buddha in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. He bowed to the Buddha, sat down, and told him about the conversation he had had with Citta.

175The Buddha rebuked him: “It’s not suitable, foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done. How can you demean and insult Citta, who has faith and confidence, who’s a donor, benefactor, and supporter of the Saṅgha? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:


“Well then, do a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. And it should be done like this. First you should accuse the monk Sudhamma. He should then be reminded of what he has done, before he’s charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

176‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Sudhamma has demeaned and insulted the householder Citta, who has faith and confidence, who’s a donor, benefactor, and supporter of the Saṅgha. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. This is the motion.

177Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Sudhamma has demeaned and insulted the householder Citta, who has faith and confidence, who’s a donor, benefactor, and supporter of the Saṅgha. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

178For the second time I speak on this matter … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Sudhamma has demeaned and insulted the householder Citta, who has faith and confidence, who’s a donor, benefactor, and supporter of the Saṅgha. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

179The Saṅgha has done the legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

4.1 The group of twelve on illegitimate legal procedures

185The group of twelve on legitimate legal procedures of reconciliation is finished.

4.3 The group of four on wishing

186“When a monk has five qualities, the Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a legal procedure of reconciliation against him: he’s trying to stop householders from acquiring material gain; he’s trying to harm householders; he’s trying to get householders to lose their place of residence; he abuses and reviles householders; he causes division between householders.

187When a monk has another five qualities, the Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of reconciliation against him: he disparages the Buddha to householders; he disparages the Teaching to householders; he disparages the Saṅgha to householders; he demeans and insults householders; he doesn’t fulfill legitimate promises to householders.

188“The Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of reconciliation against five kinds of monks: those who are trying to stop householders from acquiring material gain; those who are trying to harm householders; those who are trying to get householders to lose their place of residence; those who abuse and revile householders; those who cause division between householders.

189The Saṅgha may, if it wishes, do a procedure of reconciliation against another five kinds of monks: those who disparage the Buddha to householders; those who disparage the Teaching to householders; those who disparage the Saṅgha to householders; those who demean and insult householders; those who don’t fulfill legitimate promises to householders.”

190The group of four on wishing is finished.

4.4 The eighteen kinds of conduct

191“A monk who’s had a legal procedure of reconciliation done against himself should conduct himself properly. This is the proper conduct:

  1. He shouldn’t give the full ordination.
  2. He shouldn’t give formal support.
  3. He shouldn’t have a novice monk attend on him.
  4. He shouldn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns.
  5. Even if appointed, he shouldn’t instruct the nuns.
  6. He shouldn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him.
  7. He shouldn’t commit an offense similar to the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him.
  8. He shouldn’t commit an offense worse than the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him.
  9. He shouldn’t criticize the procedure.
  10. He shouldn’t criticize those who did the procedure.
  11. He shouldn’t cancel the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk.
  12. He shouldn’t cancel the invitation ceremony of a regular monk.
  13. He shouldn’t direct a regular monk.
  14. He shouldn’t give instructions to a regular monk.
  15. He shouldn’t get permission from a regular monk to correct him.
  16. He shouldn’t accuse a regular monk of an offense.
  17. He shouldn’t remind a regular monk of an offense.
  18. He shouldn’t associate inappropriately with other monks.”

192The eighteen kinds of conduct in regard to the legal procedure of reconciliation are finished.

193Soon afterwards the Saṅgha did a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma, instructing him to ask Citta for forgiveness. He went to Macchikāsaṇḍa, but feeling humiliated, he was unable to ask Citta for forgiveness. He returned to Sāvatthī. The monks asked him if he had asked Citta for forgiveness, and he told them what had happened. The monks told the Buddha. He had the monks gathered and said:

“Well then, the Saṅgha should give a companion messenger to Sudhamma to ask Citta for forgiveness. And this is how the messenger should be given. First you should ask a monk, and then a competent and capable monk should inform the Saṅgha:

194‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should give monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. This is the motion.

195Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha gives monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. Any monk who approves of this should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

196The Saṅgha has given monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’

197“Sudhamma should now go to Macchikāsaṇḍa with that monk as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness, saying, ‘Please forgive me, householder; I wish to reconcile with you.’ If he forgives, all is well. If not, the companion messenger should say, ‘Please forgive this monk, householder; he wishes to reconcile with you.’ If he forgives, all is well. If not, the companion messenger should say, ‘Please forgive this monk, householder; I wish to reconcile with you.’ If he forgives, all is well. If not, the companion messenger should say, ‘Please forgive this monk, householder; I ask in the name of the Saṅgha.’ If he forgives, all is well. If not, then within sight and hearing of Citta, the monk Sudhamma should put his upper robe over one shoulder, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and confess that offense.”

198Soon afterwards Sudhamma went to Macchikāsaṇḍa with a monk as a companion messenger, and he asked Citta for forgiveness. And he conducted himself properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. He then went to the monks and told them about this, adding: “What should I do now?” The monks told the Buddha. He had the monks gathered and said:

“Well then, lift that legal procedure of reconciliation against Sudhamma.”

4.5 The group of eighteen on not to be lifted

199“When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of reconciliation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he gives the full ordination; he gives formal support; he has a novice monk attend on him; he accepts being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he instructs the nuns, whether appointed or not.

200When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of reconciliation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he commits the same offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him; he commits an offense similar to the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him; he commits an offense worse than the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of reconciliation against him; he criticizes the procedure; he criticizes those who did the procedure.

201When a monk has eight qualities, a procedure of reconciliation against him shouldn’t be lifted: he cancels the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk; he cancels the invitation ceremony of a regular monk; he directs a regular monk; he gives instructions to a regular monk; he gets permission from a regular monk to correct him; he accuses a regular monk of an offense; he reminds a regular monk of an offense; he associates inappropriately with other monks.”

206The group of eighteen on to be lifted is finished.

207“And this is how it should be lifted. The monk Sudhamma should approach the Saṅgha, put his upper robes over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say, ‘Venerables, the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of reconciliation against me. I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

208‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should lift that legal procedure of reconciliation against him. This is the motion.

209Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. The Saṅgha lifts that legal procedure of reconciliation against him. Any monk who approves of lifting that legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

210For the second time I speak on this matter. … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released.

Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

211The Saṅgha has lifted that legal procedure of reconciliation against the monk Sudhamma. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

212The fourth section on the legal procedure of reconciliation is finished.

5. The legal procedure of ejection for not recognizing an offense

213At one time the Buddha was staying at Kosambī in Ghosita’s Monastery. At that time Venerable Channa had committed an offense, but refused to recognize it. The monks of few desires complained and criticized him: “How can Venerable Channa commit an offense, but then refuse to recognize it?” They told the Buddha.


214Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is it true, monks, that Channa is acting like this?”

“It’s true, Sir.”


The Buddha rebuked him:


“It’s not suitable … How can Channa commit an offense, but then refuse to recognize it? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

“Well then, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha.

And this is how it should be done. First you should accuse the monk Channa. He should then be reminded of what he has done, before he’s charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

215‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to recognize it. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. This is the motion.

216Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to recognize it. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

217For the second time I speak on this matter … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to recognize it. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

218The Saṅgha has done the legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’

219Monks, you should proclaim from monastery to monastery that the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha.”

235Soon afterwards the Saṅgha did a legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not recognizing an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. He then left that monastery and went to another one. The monks there did not bow down to him, stand up for him, raise their joined palms to him, or do acts of respect toward him. They did not honor, respect, or esteem him. Because of this, he left that monastery too and went to yet another one. There too the monks did not bow down to him, stand up for him, raise their joined palms to him, or do acts of respect toward him. They did not honor, respect, or esteem him. Because of this, he left that monastery too and went to yet another one. There too the monks did not bow down to him, stand up for him, raise their joined palms to him, or do acts of respect toward him. They did not honor, respect, or esteem him. Because of this, he left that monastery too and returned to Kosambī.

He then conducted himself properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. He went to the monks and told them about this, adding: “What should I do now?” The monks told the Buddha. He had the monks gathered and said: “Well then, lift that legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not recognizing an offense.”

254“And this is how it should be lifted. The monk Channa should approach the Saṅgha, put his upper robes over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say, ‘Venerables, the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting me for not recognizing an offense. I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

255‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not recognizing an offense. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted.

6. The legal procedure of ejection for not making amends for an offense

260At one time the Buddha was staying at Kosambī in Ghosita’s Monastery. At this time Venerable Channa had committed an offense, but refused to make amends for it. The monks of few desires complained and criticized him: “How can Venerable Channa commit an offense, but refuse to make amends for it?” They told the Buddha.


261Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is it true, monks, that Channa is acting like this?”

“It’s true, Sir.”


The Buddha rebuked him: “It’s not suitable … How can Channa commit an offense, but refuse to make amends for it? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

“Well then, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. And this is how it should be done. First you should accuse the monk Channa. He should then be reminded of what he has done, before he’s charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:


262‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to make amends for it. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. This is the motion.

263Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to make amends for it. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

264For the second time I speak on this matter … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. This monk Channa has committed an offense, but refuses to make amends for it. The Saṅgha is doing a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

265The Saṅgha has done the legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’

266Monks, you should proclaim from monastery to monastery that the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting Channa for not making amends for an offense, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha.”

He then conducted himself properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. He went to the monks and told them about this, adding: “What should I do now?” The monks told the Buddha. …

“Well then, lift that legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not making amends for an offense.

I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time.

7. The legal procedure of ejection for not giving up a bad view

297At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monk Ariṭṭha, the ex-vulture-killer, had the following bad and erroneous view:

“As I understand the Teaching of the Buddha, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them.”


A number of monks heard that Ariṭṭha had that view.


298They went to him and asked:

“Is it true, Ariṭṭha, that you have such a view?”


“Yes, indeed. As I understand the Buddha’s Teaching, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them.”

299“No, Ariṭṭha, don’t misrepresent the Buddha, for it’s not good to misrepresent him. The Buddha would never say such a thing. The Buddha has given many discourses about the obstructive things being obstructive and how they obstruct one who indulges in them. The Buddha has said that there’s little enjoyment in worldly pleasures, but much suffering and much trouble, and that the danger in them is greater. The Buddha has said that worldly pleasures are similar to a skeleton, similar to a piece of meat, similar to a grass torch, similar to a pit of coals, similar to a dream, similar to borrowed goods, similar to fruits on a tree, similar to a knife and chopping block, similar to swords and stakes, and similar to a snake’s head. They’re much suffering and much trouble, and the danger in them is greater.”


300But even though the monks corrected Ariṭṭha in this way, he stubbornly held on to that bad and erroneous view, and continued to insist on it. And since they were unable to make him give up that view, they went to the Buddha and told him what had happened.


301Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned Ariṭṭha:

“Is it true, Ariṭṭha, that you have a bad and erroneous view such as this: ‘As I understand the Buddha’s Teaching, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them’?”

“Yes indeed, Sir.”


302“Foolish man, who do you think I’ve taught like this? Haven’t I given many discourses about the obstructive things being obstructive and how they obstruct one who indulges in them? I’ve said that there’s little enjoyment in worldly pleasures, but much suffering and much trouble, and that the danger in them is greater. I’ve said that worldly pleasures are similar to a skeleton, similar to a piece of meat, similar to a grass torch, similar to a pit of coals, similar to a dream, similar to borrowed goods, similar to fruits on a tree, similar to a knife and chopping block, similar to swords and stakes, and similar to a snake’s head. They’re much suffering and much trouble, and the danger in them is greater. And yet by misunderstanding, you have misrepresented me, hurt yourself, and made much demerit. This will be for your long-lasting harm and suffering. And this will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

“Well then, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. And this is how it should be done. First you should accuse the monk Ariṭṭha. He should then be reminded of what he has done, before he’s charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

303‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The monk Ariṭṭha, the ex-vulture-killer, has the following bad and erroneous view: “As I understand the Teaching of the Buddha, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them.” He’s not giving up that view. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should do a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. This is the motion.

304Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The monk Ariṭṭha, the ex-vulture-killer, has the following bad and erroneous view: “As I understand the Teaching of the Buddha, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them.” He’s not giving up that view. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

305For the second time I speak on this matter … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The monk Ariṭṭha, the ex-vulture-killer, has the following bad and erroneous view: “As I understand the Teaching of the Buddha, the things he calls obstructive are not able to obstruct one who indulges in them.” He’s not giving up that view. The Saṅgha does a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. Any monk who approves of doing this legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

306The Saṅgha has done the legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’

307Monks, you should proclaim from monastery to monastery that the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha.”

323Soon afterwards the Saṅgha did a legal procedure of ejecting Ariṭṭha for not giving up a bad view, prohibiting him from living with the Saṅgha. He then disrobed. The monks of few desires complained and criticized him: “How could the monk Ariṭṭha disrobe after the Saṅgha had done a legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view?” The monks told the Buddha.


324Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Saṅgha gathered and questioned the monks:

“Is it true, monks, that the monk Ariṭṭha disrobed after the Saṅgha had done a procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view?”

“It’s true, Sir.”

The Buddha rebuked him … “It’s not suitable … How can that foolish person disrobe after the Saṅgha has done a procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him … he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

330When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view should be lifted: he doesn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view; he doesn’t commit an offense similar to the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view; he doesn’t commit an offense worse than the one for which the Saṅgha did the procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view; he doesn’t criticize the procedure; he doesn’t criticize those who did the procedure. … he doesn’t consent to a regular monk bowing down to him; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk standing up for him; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk raising his joined palms to him; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk doing appropriate duties for him; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk offering him a seat. … he doesn’t consent to a regular monk offering him a bed; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk offering him water for washing his feet and a foot stool; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk offering him a foot scraper; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk receiving his bowl and robe; he doesn’t consent to a regular monk massaging his back when bathing. … he doesn’t charge a regular monk with failure in morality; he doesn’t charge a regular monk with failure in conduct; he doesn’t charge a regular monk with failure in view; he doesn’t charge a regular monk with failure in livelihood; he doesn’t cause splits between monks. … he doesn’t wear lay clothes; he doesn’t wear the robes of the monastics of other religions; he doesn’t associate with the monastics of other religions; he associates with monks; he trains in the monks’ training. … he doesn’t stay in the same room in a monastery as a regular monk; he doesn’t stay in the same room in a non-monastery as a regular monk; he doesn’t stay in the same room in a monastery or a non-monastery as a regular monk; he gets up from his seat when he sees a regular monk; he doesn’t dismiss a regular monk, whether indoors or outdoors.


331When a monk has eight qualities, a procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view should be lifted: he doesn’t cancel the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk; he doesn’t cancel the invitation ceremony of a regular monk; he doesn’t direct a regular monk; he doesn’t give instructions to a regular monk; he doesn’t get permission from a regular monk to correct him; he doesn’t accuse a regular monk of an offense; he doesn’t remind a regular monk of an offense; he doesn’t associate inappropriately with other monks.”

332The group of forty-three on to be lifted in regard to the legal procedure of ejection for not giving up a bad view is finished.


333“And, monks, this is how it should be lifted. The monk who’s been ejected by the Saṅgha for not giving up a bad view should approach the Saṅgha, put his upper robes over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say, ‘Venerables, the Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting me for not giving up a bad view. I’m now conducting myself properly and suitably, and deserve to be released. I ask for that legal procedure to be lifted.’ And he should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Saṅgha:

334‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting monk so-and-so for not giving up a bad view. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. If it seems appropriate to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should lift that legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view. This is the motion.

335Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting monk so-and-so for not giving up a bad view. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. The Saṅgha lifts that legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view. Any monk who approves of lifting that legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

336For the second time I speak on this matter. … For the third time I speak on this matter. Please, Venerables, I ask the Saṅgha to listen. The Saṅgha has done a legal procedure of ejecting monk so-and-so for not giving up a bad view. He’s now conducting himself properly and suitably, and deserves to be released. He’s asking for that legal procedure to be lifted. The Saṅgha lifts that legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view. Any monk who approves of lifting that legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

337The Saṅgha has lifted that legal procedure of ejecting monk so-and-so for not giving up a bad view. The Saṅgha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’”

338The seventh section on the legal procedure of ejection for not giving up a bad view is finished.

The first chapter on legal procedures is finished. In this chapter there are seven topics.

339This is the summary:


340“The monks Paṇḍu and Lohitaka,
Themselves quarrelsome;
They went to those of the same kind,
And encouraged quarrels.

341They gave rise to new ones,
And worsened the existing ones;
The good monks of few desires,
Criticised. The One who Shows,

342The Buddha, standing in the True Dhamma,
Independent, the Supreme Person;
The Victor: at Sāvatthī he ordered
The procedure of condemnation.

343In the absence, without questioning,
Without admission, and done against
One without offense, not clearable by confession,
Done against one who has confessed.

344Not having accused, not having reminded,
And done without having charged;
In the absence, with illegitimate,
And also done with an incomplete assembly.

345Without questioning, with illegitimate,
Again done with an incomplete assembly.
Without admission, with illegitimate,
And also done with an incomplete assembly.

346One without offense, with illegitimate,
And also done with an incomplete assembly.
Not clearable by confession,
And illegitimately, with an incomplete assembly.

347Against one who has confessed, with illegitimate,
And so also with incomplete assembly;
Not having accused, with illegitimate,
And so also with incomplete assembly;

348Not having reminded, with illegitimate,
And so also with incomplete assembly;
Not having charged, with illegitimate,
And so also with incomplete assembly.

349Just as the method of the dark section,
One should understand the bright section;
And the Saṅgha wishing,
Might do condemnation against one:

350Quarrelsome, ignorant, socializing,
In the higher morality, in the higher conduct;
For those failed in view,
The Saṅgha might do condemnation.

351And the Buddha, the Teaching, the Saṅgha,
Whoever dispraises them;
And against three kinds of monks,
The Saṅgha might carry out condemnation:

352The quarrelsome,
The ignorant, the one attached to socializing;
In the higher morality, in the higher conduct;
Just so about view.

353And the Buddha, the Teaching, the Saṅgha,
Whoever dispraises them;
Who has had a legal procedure of condemnation done against himself,
Should conduct himself properly thus:

354Full ordination, formal support,
A novice monk attending on;
Instruction, even if appointed,
He should not do. Against the one condemnation was done,

355He should not commit that offense,
Or one similar, or one beyond;
And the procedure, and also the doers,
He should not criticize those.

356The observance, the invitation,
He should not cancel for an regular monk;
Directing, instructing,
Permission, and with accusing.

357Reminding, and associating,
He should not do such things;
Full ordination, formal support,
A novice monk attending on.

358Instruction, even if appointed,
With five factors, it should not lift;
And should not commit that offense,
Or one similar, or one beyond.

359And the procedure, and also the doers,
Criticizing, it should not lift;
The observance, the invitation,
And directing, instructing.

360Permission, and accusing,
Reminding, associating;
Whoever is engaged in these eight factors,
The condemnation should not be lifted.

361Just as with the method of the dark section,
One should understand the bright section;
Ignorant, with many offenses,
And socializing, Seyyaso.

362The procedure of demotion was ordered,
By the Fully Awakened One, the Great Sage;
Two monks at Kīṭāgiri,
Assaji and Punabbasuka.

363And many kinds of misconduct,
They did without restraint;
To be banished, the Fully Awakened One,
Procedure, at Sāvatthī, the Victor;
Sudhamma at Macchikāsaṇḍa,
Was staying with Citta.

364He abused as low status,
Sudhamma, the law follower Citta;
The procedure of reconciliation,
The Buddha ordered.

365The monk Channa at Kosambī,
Did not wish to see his offense;
To eject for not recognizing,
The Supreme Victor ordered.

366Channa that same offense,
Did not wish to make amends;
Ejection for not making amends,
The Leader ordered.

367The bad view of Ariṭṭha,
Was attached to because of ignorance;
For not giving up a bad view,
Ejection was spoken of by the Victor.

368The procedure of demotion, banishment,
Just so reconciliation;
Not recognizing, not making amends,
And not giving up a view.

369Frivolous, misconduct, he hurts,
And just wrong livelihood;
For the procedure of banishment,
There are these extra lines.

370Stopping gain, disparaging, two, five,
They are called two sets of five;
For the procedure of reconciliation,
There are these extra lines.

371Condemnation, and demotion,
Are two procedures of the same kind;
Banishment, and reconciled,
There are extra lines.

372Three procedures of ejection,
Are analyzed in the same way;
As with the method of condemnation,
One should understand the the rest of the procedures.”

The chapter on legal procedures is finished.
