The Sangha 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 the Sangha is ready, it should lift that legal procedure of ejecting him for not giving up a bad view. This is the motion.

The Sangha 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.

then this is a fracture in the Sangha, but not a schism in the Sangha. If there are two monks on one side and two on the other, and a fifth makes the proclamation and distributes ballots, saying, ‘This is the Teaching, this is the Monastic Law, this is the Teacher’s instruction; take this, approve of this,’ then this is a fracture in the Sangha, but not a schism in the Sangha.

When leaving the sauna, he should take the sauna bench, cover himself front and back, and then leave. He should also provide assistance to his teacher in the water. When he has bathed, he should be the first to come out. He should dry himself and put on his sarong. He should then wipe the water off his teacher’s body, and he should give him his sarong and then his upper robe. Taking the sauna bench, he should be first to return. He should prepare a seat, and also set out a foot stool, a foot scraper, and water for washing the feet. He should ask his teacher if he wants water to drink.

While they’re doing it, an equal number of resident monks arrive. In such a case, what has been recited is valid, and the remainder should be listened to. There’s an offense of wrong conduct for the reciters. On the observance day, four or more resident monks may have gathered together in a certain monastery. there are other resident monks who haven’t arrived. Perceiving that they’re acting according to the Teaching and the Monastic Law, yet correctly perceiving the assembly as incomplete, they do the observance-day ceremony and recite the Monastic Code.

For the second time, I speak on this matter. … For the third time, I speak on this matter. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The Sangha 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 Sangha 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. The Sangha has lifted that legal procedure of ejecting monk so-and-so for not giving up a bad view. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’” The seventh section on the legal procedure of ejection for not giving up a bad view is finished.

“Is it true, monks, that the monks from the group of six are doing 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 do this? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking them … the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “You shouldn’t do legal procedures— condemnation, demotion, banishment, reconciliation, or ejection—against monks who are absent.

In such a case, what has been recited is valid, and the late arrivals should announce their purity in the presence of the others. There’s an offense of wrong conduct for the reciters.”

“Venerable, why are you limping?” “Because my feet are cracked.” “Well then, take these sandals.” “Thanks, but the Buddha has prohibited sandals with multi-layered soles.” But the Buddha said, “Please take the sandals.” Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “I allow second-hand sandals with multi-layered soles. But you shouldn’t wear new sandals with multi-layered soles. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” 5. The prohibition against sandals inside a monastery

Well then, let’s do a legal procedure of ejection against him for not making amends for an offense.’ They do the procedure— illegitimately and with an incomplete assembly. … illegitimately but with a unanimous assembly. … legitimately but with an incomplete assembly. … in a legitimate-like way and with an incomplete assembly. … in a legitimate-like way but with a unanimous assembly.

I allow tooth cleaners.” The monks from the group of six used long tooth cleaners, which they even used to smack the novices. “You shouldn’t use long tooth cleaners. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct. I allow tooth cleaners that are at most thirteen centimeters long. And you shouldn’t use them to smack the novice monks.

They think, ‘Is it allowable for us to do the observance-day ceremony or not?’ Being unsure, they do the observance-day ceremony and recite the Monastic Code.
