First you should ask a monk, and then a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. If the Sangha is ready, it should give monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. This is the motion. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The Sangha gives monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. Any monk who approves of this should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up. The Sangha has given monk so-and-so to Sudhamma as a companion messenger to ask Citta for forgiveness. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’
