“You should count the monks on the observance day, either by name or by distributing tickets.” On one occasion, monks walked for almsfood in a faraway village, not knowing that it was the observance day. They arrived back while the Monastic Code was being recited or even just after. “You should announce, ‘Today is the observance day.’” The monks thought, “Who should make the announcement?” “The most senior monk should make the announcement early in the morning.” Soon afterwards a certain senior monk forgot to make the announcement early in the morning. “I allow you to make the announcement at the mealtime too.” He forgot to make the announcement at the mealtime too.

The monks considered this and thought, “If the Sangha does the invitation ceremony by means of three statements, we won’t finish before dawn. What should we do?” “In such a case, a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. Most of the night has been spent with people making offerings. If the Sangha does the invitation ceremony by means of three statements, we won’t finish before dawn. If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony by means of two statements.’ Or, ‘If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony by means of one statement.’ Or, ‘If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony in groups according to the year of seniority.’ It may happen on the invitation day that most of the night in a monastery is spent with monks giving teachings,

‘This monk is quarrelsome and argumentative, one who creates legal issues in the Sangha. Well then, let’s do a legal procedure of condemnation against him.’ They do a procedure of condemnation against him— in a legitimate-like way but with a unanimous assembly. He then goes to another monastery. There too the monks consider, ‘The Sangha did a legal procedure of condemnation against this monk—in a legitimate-like way but with a unanimous assembly. Well then, let’s do a procedure of condemnation against him.’ They do a procedure of condemnation against him— illegitimately and with an incomplete assembly.

He remembers some of them, but not others. He conceals the offenses he remembers, but not those he doesn’t remember. He then disrobes. Being reordained and having remembered all of them, he conceals all of them. He should be given probation according to the length of the earlier and subsequent concealment of those offenses, and he should then be given the trial period. “It may be that a monk commits a number of offenses entailing suspension. He’s sure of some of them, but unsure of others. He conceals the offenses he’s sure of, but not those he’s unsure of. He then disrobes. Being reordained and having become sure of all of them, he conceals none of them.

“Devadatta’s character has changed. Whatever Devadatta now does by body or speech has nothing to do with the Buddha, the Teaching, or the Sangha, but only with Devadatta.” Any monk who approves of doing such a legal procedure should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up. The Sangha has done a legal procedure for the purpose of making an announcement about Devadatta in Rājagaha like this: “Devadatta’s character has changed. Whatever Devadatta now does by body or speech has nothing to do with the Buddha, the Teaching, or the Sangha, but only with Devadatta.” The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’” The Buddha then addressed Sāriputta:

But now that women have been allowed to go forth, the spiritual life won’t last long— the true Teaching will only last five hundred years. Just as families with many women and few men are easily robbed by thieves, so too, the spiritual life doesn’t last long on a spiritual path where women are allowed to go forth. Just as a ripe field of rice affected by whiteheads won’t last long, so too, the spiritual life doesn’t last long on a spiritual path where women are allowed to go forth. Just as a ripe field of sugarcane attacked by red rot won’t last long, so too, the spiritual life doesn’t last long on a spiritual path where women are allowed to go forth. Just as a man might, as a safeguard, surround a large pool with an embankment to stop the water from overflowing, so too, have I, as a safeguard, laid down the eight important principles, not to be breached for life.”

with experts on the discourses reciting discourses, with experts on the Monastic Law discussing the Monastic Law, with expounders of the Teaching discussing the Teaching, or with the monks arguing. If the monks consider this and think, ‘If the Sangha does the invitation ceremony by means of three statements, we won’t finish before dawn,’ then a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. Most of the night has been spent with the monks arguing. If the Sangha does the invitation ceremony by means of three statements, we won’t finish before dawn. If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony by means of two statements.’ Or, ‘If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony by means of one statement.’ Or, ‘If the Sangha is ready, it should do the invitation ceremony in groups according to the year of seniority.’”

He then goes to yet another monastery. There too the monks consider, ‘The Sangha did a legal procedure of condemnation against this monk—illegitimately and with an incomplete assembly.

“Well then, Sāriputta, make that announcement about Devadatta in Rājagaha.” “In the past, sir, I have praised Devadatta in Rājagaha, saying, ‘Godhiputta is powerful and mighty.’ How, then, can I now make this announcement about him?” “Didn’t you praise him truthfully when you said that?” “In the same way, you should make this announcement truthfully.” “Yes, sir.” The Buddha then addressed the monks: “Well then, the Sangha should appoint Sāriputta to make that announcement about Devadatta in Rājagaha.

The eight important principles for nuns are finished. 3. The allowance for the full ordination of nuns Mahāpajāpati went to the Buddha, bowed down, “Sir, what should I do with these Sakyan women?” The Buddha then instructed, inspired, and gladdened her with a teaching, after which she bowed down, circumambulated him with her right side toward him, and left.
