If he doesn’t, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.” 19. Those going to a different region, etc. On one occasion a number of ignorant and incompetent monks asked permission from their teachers and preceptors to go to a different region. They told the Buddha. “A number of ignorant and incompetent monks might ask their teachers and preceptors for permission to go to a different region. The teachers and preceptors should then ask them where they’re going and who they’re going with. If they’re going with others who are ignorant and incompetent, the teachers and preceptors shouldn’t give them permission. If they do, they commit an offense of wrong conduct. And if the students go without permission from their teachers and preceptors, they commit an offense of wrong conduct.
