Monks are not led by desire, monks are not led by hatred, monks are not led by delusion, monks are not led by fear. Venerable sir, you are a family-corrupter, of evil conduct. Venerable sir, your evil conducts are seen and heard. Families are corrupted by you, are seen and heard. Depart, venerable sir, from this residence. Enough of your dwelling here.” A second time he should be spoken to. A third time he should be spoken to. If he relinquishes, that is good. If he does not relinquish, there is an offense of wrong-doing. That bhikkhu should be admonished. And thus, monks, he should be admonished. A competent and able bhikkhu should inform the Saṅgha: “May the Saṅgha, venerable sirs, hear me. This bhikkhu of such-and-such a name, having been subjected to the act of expulsion by the Saṅgha, accuses monks of being led by desire, led by hatred, led by delusion, led by fear. He does not relinquish that matter. If it is appropriate for the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha should admonish this bhikkhu of such-and-such a name for the relinquishment of that matter. This is the motion. “May the Saṅgha, venerable sirs, hear me. This bhikkhu of such-and-such a name, having been subjected to the act of expulsion by the Saṅgha, Going by desire, going by hatred, going by delusion, going by fear, leads to evil. He does not give up that thing. The Saṅgha admonishes a bhikkhu named so-and-so for the giving up of that thing. If it is agreeable to the venerable one that the bhikkhu named so-and-so be admonished for the giving up of that thing, he should be silent; if it is not agreeable, he should speak. A second time I state this matter… A third time I state this matter… The bhikkhu named so-and-so has been admonished by the Saṅgha for the giving up of that thing. It is agreeable to the Saṅgha, therefore it is silent. Thus do I hold this. For the motion, a dukkata. For two formal announcements, a thullaccaya. At the completion of the formal announcement, an offense of saṅghādisesa. For one who incurs a saṅghādisesa, for the motion, a dukkata. For two formal announcements, the thullaccayas cease. Saṅghādisesa means only the Saṅgha gives the probation for that offense, draws back to the beginning, gives the mānatta, rehabilitates; not many, not one person. Therefore it is called 'saṅghādisesa'. It is the naming and designation of that very class of offense. Therefore it is also called saṅghādisesa. In a lawful act, perceiving it as a lawful act, if he does not give up, an offense of saṅghādisesa. In a lawful act, being in doubt, if he does not give up, an offense of saṅghādisesa. In a lawful act, perceiving it as an unlawful act, if he does not give up, an offense of saṅghādisesa. In an unlawful act, perceiving it as a lawful act, an offense of dukkata. of it. Doubtful about an unrighteous act, there is an offense of dukkata. Perceiving an unrighteous act as an unrighteous act, there is an offense of dukkata. 441. There is no offense for one who does not admonish, for one who gives up, for one who is insane, for one who is the first offender. The training rule concerning the family-corrupter is finished, the thirteenth. 442. The thirteen Sanghadisesa rules, venerable sirs, have been recited: nine of initial offense, four of up to three times. If a bhikkhu, having committed any one of these, knowingly conceals it for as many days, for as many days that bhikkhu must undergo involuntary probation. Having completed probation, that bhikkhu must further undertake six nights of manatta. Having completed manatta, that bhikkhu must be rehabilitated where there is a Sangha of twenty bhikkhus. If a Sangha of twenty bhikkhus rehabilitates that bhikkhu with even one less, that bhikkhu is not rehabilitated, and those bhikkhus are blameworthy. This is the proper procedure in this matter. I ask you, venerable sirs – ‘Are you pure in this?’ A second time I ask – ‘Are you pure in this?’ A third time I ask – ‘Are you pure in this?’ You are pure in this, venerable sirs. Therefore, you are silent. Thus, I hold this. The section of thirteen is finished. Its summary – Emission, physical contact, gross misconduct, self-desire; Mediation, and a hut, and a dwelling, and groundless accusation. A partial accusation, and schism, and those who follow it; Intractability, and family-corrupting, these are the thirteen Sanghadisesas. The Sanghadisesa section.
