The group of eighteen on not to be lifted “When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of banishing him shouldn’t be lifted: he gives the full ordination; he gives formal support; he has a novice monk attend on him; he accepts being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he instructs the nuns, whether appointed or not. When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of banishing him shouldn’t be lifted: he commits the same offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him; he commits an offense similar to the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him; he commits an offense worse than the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him; he criticizes the procedure; he criticizes those who did the procedure. When a monk has eight qualities, a procedure of banishing him shouldn’t be lifted: he cancels the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk; he cancels the invitation ceremony of a regular monk; he directs a regular monk; he gives instructions to a regular monk; he gets permission from a regular monk to correct him; he accuses a regular monk of an offense; he reminds a regular monk of an offense; he associates inappropriately with other monks.” The group of eighteen on not to be lifted is finished.
