The Sangha has designated this monastery zone as a may-stay-apart-from-the-three-robes area, leaving out inhabited areas and the vicinity of inhabited areas. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’ 8. The abolishing of monastery zones “Monks, when you’re establishing a monastery zone, the zone that defines who belongs to the same community should be established first.

Afterwards you may abolish the zone that defines who belongs to the same community. And this how a may-stay-apart-from-the-three-robes area should be abolished.
