Venerable Ānanda said to the senior monks, “At the time of his final extinguishment, the Buddha said to me, ‘After my passing away, Ānanda, the Sangha should impose the supreme penalty on the monk Channa.’” “Did you ask the Buddha what the supreme penalty is?” and he replied, ‘Whatever Channa says, the monks shouldn’t correct him, instruct him, or teach him.’” “Well then, Ānanda, impose the supreme penalty on Channa.” “But how should I do it? Channa is temperamental and harsh.” “Go together with many monks.”

People gave them robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. The monks considered, “The Buddha has laid down that a sangha consists of a group of at least four, but we’re just three. Now these people have given robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. What should we do?” On that occasion there were a number of senior monks—Venerable Nilavāsī, Venerable Sāṇavāsī, Venerable Gotaka, Venerable Bhagu, and Venerable Phaḷikasantāna—staying at Pāṭaliputta in the Kukkuṭa Monastery. The monks from Rājagaha went to Pāṭaliputta to ask them. “As we understand the teaching of the Buddha, that robe-cloth is just for you until the end of the robe season.” 22. Upananda the Sakyan At one time, after completing the rainy-season residence at Sāvatthī, Venerable Upananda the Sakyan went to a certain village monastery. Just then the monks there had gathered to distribute the robe-cloth.

He proclaims a non-offense as such, and an offense as such. He proclaims a light offense as light, and a heavy offense as heavy. He proclaims a curable offense as curable, and an incurable offense as incurable. He proclaims a grave offense as grave, and a minor offense as minor.” When Venerable Mahāmoggallāna heard … When Venerable Mahākassapa heard …

They said to Upananda, “We’re distributing the Sangha’s robe-cloth. Would you like a share?” “Yes, I would.” He then took that share of robe-cloth and went to another monastery. There, too, the monks had gathered to distribute the robe-cloth. They said to Upananda, “We’re distributing the Sangha’s robe-cloth. Would you like a share?” “Yes, I would.” He then took that share, too, and went to yet another monastery. There, too, the monks had gathered to distribute the robe-cloth. They said to Upananda, “We’re distributing the Sangha’s robe-cloth. Would you like a share?” “Yes, I would.”

When Venerable Mahākaccāna heard … When Venerable Mahākoṭṭhika heard … When Venerable Mahākappina heard … When Venerable Mahācunda heard … When Venerable Anuruddha heard … When Venerable Revata heard … When Venerable Upāli heard … When Venerable Ānanda heard … When Venerable Rāhula heard that they were coming,

And it should be given like this. 1.1 Trial periods for those with unconcealed offenses “The monk Udāyī should approach the Sangha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say: ‘Venerables, I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. For the second time, I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. I’ve committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. For the third time, I ask the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense.’ A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha:

After rejoicing and expressing their appreciation for his teaching, they got up from their seats, bowed down, circumambulated him with their right sides toward him, and went to King Udena. When King Udena saw them coming, he said to them, “Did you see the ascetic Ānanda?” “Did you give him anything?” “We gave him five hundred upper robes.” King Udena complained and criticized him, “How can the ascetic Ānanda receive so many robes? Is he starting up as cloth merchant or setting up shop?” King Udena then went to Ānanda, exchanged pleasantries with him,

‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk Udāyī has committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. He’s asking the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. If the Sangha is ready, it should give him that trial period. This is the motion. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk Udāyī has committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. He’s asking the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. The Sangha gives him that trial period. Any monk who approves of giving him that trial period of six days should remain silent.

If the preceptor has wrong view, the student should make him give it up or have someone else do it, or he should give him a teaching. If the preceptor has committed a heavy offense and deserves probation, the student should try to get the Sangha to give it to him. If the preceptor has committed a heavy offense and deserves to be sent back to the beginning, the student should try to get the Sangha to do it. If the preceptor has committed a heavy offense and deserves the trial period, the student should try to get the Sangha to give it to him. If the preceptor has committed a heavy offense and deserves rehabilitation, the student should try to get the Sangha to give it to him. If the Sangha wants to do a legal procedure against his preceptor—whether a procedure of condemnation, demotion, banishment, reconciliation, or ejection—

Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up. For the second time, I speak on this matter. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk Udāyī has committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. He’s asking the Sangha for the trial period of six days for that offense. The Sangha gives him that trial period. Any monk who approves of giving him that trial period of six days 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 Sangha to listen.

9. The resolution and settling of legal issues Resolution face-to-face “There are two principles for settling a legal issue arising from a dispute: resolution face-to-face and majority decision. Is it possible that a legal issue arising from a dispute should be settled not by majority decision, but by resolution face-to-face? It may be, monks, that monks are disputing, saying, ‘This is the Teaching’, ‘This is contrary to the Teaching’, ‘This is the Monastic Law’, ‘This is contrary to the Monastic Law’, ‘This was spoken by the Buddha’, ‘This wasn’t spoken by the Buddha’, ‘This was practiced by the Buddha’, ‘This wasn’t practiced by the Buddha’, ‘This was laid down by the Buddha’, ‘This wasn’t laid down by the Buddha’, ‘This is an offense’, ‘This isn’t an offense’, ‘This is a light offense’, ‘This is a heavy offense’, ‘This is a curable offense’, ‘This is an incurable offense’, ‘This is a grave offense’, or ‘This is a minor offense.’ If those monks are able to resolve that legal issue, this is called the resolution of a legal issue. It’s been resolved face-to-face.

“I allow you to expel a novice monk who has ten qualities: He kills living beings He’s not celibate He drinks alcoholic drinks He disparages the Buddha He disparages the Teaching He disparages the Sangha He has wrong view He has raped a nun.” 47. <i lang='pi' translate='no'>Paṇḍakas</i>

“Give the foolish man one person’s share. It may be that a monk spends the rains residence in two monasteries with the intention of getting much robe-cloth. If he spends half the time in each monastery, he should be given half a share of the robe-cloth in each. Otherwise he should be given his share of the robe-cloth in the monastery where he spends the most time.” 23. The account of the one who was sick On one occasion there was a monk who had dysentery and was lying in his own feces and urine. Just then, as the Buddha was walking about the dwellings with Venerable Ānanda as his attendant, he came to the dwelling of this monk. When he saw his condition, he went up to him and said, “What’s your illness, monk?”

When Visākhā Migāramātā heard that they were coming, she too went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, adding, “Sir, how should I act toward these monks?” “Well, Visākhā, make offerings to both sides and listen to their teachings. Then approve of the views, beliefs, and persuasion of those who speak in accordance with the Teaching.” Eventually those monks from Kosambī arrived at Sāvatthī. Venerable Sāriputta went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, adding, “How should we prepare dwellings for these monks?”

Face-to-face with what? Face-to-face with the Sangha, the Teaching, the Monastic Law, and the persons concerned. This is the meaning of face-to-face with the Sangha: the monks who should be present have arrived, consent has been brought for those who are eligible to give their consent, and no-one present objects to the decision. This is the meaning of face-to-face with the Teaching and the Monastic Law: the Teaching, the Monastic Law, the Teacher’s instruction—that by which that legal issue is resolved. This is the meaning of face-to-face with the persons concerned: both sides—those who are disputing and those they’re disputing with—are present. When a legal issue has been resolved like this, if any of the participants reopen it, they incur an offense entailing confession for the reopening. If anyone who gave their consent criticizes the resolution, they incur an offense entailing confession.

At one time a certain <i lang='pi' translate='no'>paṇḍaka</i> had gone forth as a monk. He went to the young monks and said, “Come, venerables, have sex with me.” The monks dismissed him, “Go away, <i lang='pi' translate='no'>paṇḍaka</i>. We don’t want you.” He went to the big and fat novices, said the same thing, and got the same response. He then went to the elephant keepers and the horse keepers and once again said the same thing.

At one time in a certain monastery in the Kosalan country, the monks who had entered the rains residence did not get enough food, whether coarse or fine. “It may happen that monks who have entered the rains residence don’t get enough food, whether coarse or fine. When there’s such an obstacle, you should leave. There’s no offense for breaking the rains residence. It may happen that monks who have entered the rains residence get enough food, whether coarse or fine, but the food isn’t suitable for them. When there’s such an obstacle, you should leave. There’s no offense for breaking the rains residence. It may happen that monks who have entered the rains residence get enough suitable food, whether coarse or fine, but they don’t get suitable medicines. When there’s such an obstacle, you should leave. There’s no offense for breaking the rains residence.

Ākāsagotta saw the Buddha coming and said to him, “Good Gotama, please come and see this monk’s anus. It’s just like the mouth of a lizard.” The Buddha thought, “This foolish man is mocking me,” and he turned around right there. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is there a sick monk in such-and-such a dwelling?” “There is, sir.” “What’s his illness?” “He has hemorrhoids, and the doctor Ākāsagotta is performing surgery.” The Buddha rebuked him,

“I have dysentery, sir.” “But don’t you have a nurse?” “Why don’t the monks nurse you?” “Because I don’t do anything for them.” The Buddha said to Ānanda, “Go and get some water, Ānanda. Let’s give him a wash.” Saying, “Yes, sir,” he did just that. And so the Buddha poured the water, while Ānanda cleaned him up. Then, the Buddha lifting him by the head

“Give them dwellings in a separate place.” “But what should we do if there are no dwellings in a separate place?” “In that case, create separate resting places and then give them out. Under no circumstances, Sāriputta, should a dwelling be reserved for a more senior monk. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” “And what should we do regarding food and requisites?” “Food and requisites should be distributed equally to everyone.” 7. The instruction to readmit Then that ejected monk reflected on the Teaching and the Monastic Law, and he concluded, “This is an offense
