“A monk who’s had a legal procedure of banishment done against himself should conduct himself properly. This is the proper conduct: He shouldn’t give the full ordination. He shouldn’t give formal support. He shouldn’t have a novice monk attend on him. He shouldn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns. Even if appointed, he shouldn’t instruct the nuns. He shouldn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him. He shouldn’t commit an offense similar to the offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him. He shouldn’t commit an offense worse than the offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of banishing him.

The Sangha gives him that probation. Any monk who approves of giving him that probation should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’ Starting right there, that monk must stay on probation for two months.” Processes for staying on probation for two months “It may be that a monk has committed two offenses entailing suspension, both concealed for two months.

If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct. If anyone who has an unconfessed offense listens to the Monastic Code, I allow you to cancel his hearing of the Monastic Code. And it should be done like this. On the observance day, whether the fourteenth or the fifteenth, in the midst of the Sangha and in the presence of that person, you should announce: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The person so-and-so has an unconfessed offense. I cancel his hearing of the Monastic Code. The Monastic Code shouldn’t be recited in his presence.’ Then his hearing of the Monastic Code is canceled.” Soon afterwards, thinking that nobody knew about them, the monks from the group of six listened to the Monastic Code while having unconfessed offenses. The senior monks who could read the minds of others informed the monks about this.

They don’t know there are other resident monks who haven’t arrived. Perceiving that they’re acting according to the Teaching and the Monastic Law, perceiving that the assembly is complete although it’s not, they do the invitation ceremony. While they’re doing it, a greater number of resident monks arrive. In such a case, those monks should do the invitation ceremony once more. There’s no offense for those who already have invited. On the invitation day, five or more resident monks may have gathered together in a certain monastery. They don’t know there are other resident monks who haven’t arrived.

He shouldn’t get permission from a regular monk to correct him. He shouldn’t accuse a regular monk of an offense. He shouldn’t remind a regular monk of an offense.

‘I’ve committed two offenses entailing suspension, both concealed for two months. Let me ask the Sangha for probation for two months for one of those offenses.’ While on probation, he’s overcome with guilt.

If the Sangha is ready, it should appoint monk so-and-so as the supervisor of novice monks. This is the motion. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.

What is the preliminary duty of the Sangha? The venerables should declare their purity. I will recite the Monastic Code. Everyone present should listen to it and attend carefully. Anyone who has committed an offense should reveal it. If you haven’t committed any offense, you should remain silent. If you are silent, I will regard you as pure. Just as one responds when asked individually, so too, an announcement is made three times in this kind of gathering. If a monk remembers an offense while the announcement is being made up to the third time, but doesn’t reveal it, he is lying in full awareness. Lying in full awareness is called an obstacle by the Buddha.
