If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct. You should only accuse someone of an offense after getting their permission: ‘I wish to speak to you, venerable, please give me permission.’” Soon, after getting their permission, good monks accused the monks from the group of six of an offense. The monks from the group of six became angry and bitter, and they made threats of violence. “Even when you have their permission, you should first evaluate the individual and then accuse them of an offense.” At this time the monks from the group of six—thinking to act before the good monks asked them for permission, but having no reason for doing so—got permission from pure monks who had not committed any offenses. “When there is no reason for doing so, you shouldn’t get permission from pure monks who haven’t committed any offenses. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct. And you should give permission only after evaluating the individual.”
