“He burns in hell for a kalpa, Ānanda – One bound for the woeful state, bound for hell, who causes schism, for a kalpa, delighting in factions, standing on undharma, he destroys peace and security; having caused schism in a harmonious Saṅgha, for a kalpa is cooked in hell." The ninth. 10. The Second Discourse on Ānanda 40. "'Harmony of the Sangha, harmony of the Sangha' it is said, venerable sir. To what extent, venerable sir, is the Sangha harmonious?" "Here, Ānanda, monks declare what is not Dhamma as not Dhamma, declare what is Dhamma as Dhamma, declare what is not Vinaya as not Vinaya, declare what is Vinaya as Vinaya, declare what was not spoken, not uttered by the Tathāgata as not spoken, not uttered by the Tathāgata, declare what was spoken, uttered by the Tathāgata as spoken, uttered by the Tathāgata, declare what was not practiced by the Tathāgata as not practiced by the Tathāgata, declare what was practiced by the Tathāgata as practiced by the Tathāgata, declare what was not laid down by the Tathāgata as not laid down by the Tathāgata, declare what was laid down by the Tathāgata as laid down by the Tathāgata. They, concerning these ten points, do not draw back, do not draw away, do not perform separate acts, do not recite the Pātimokkha separately. To this extent, Ānanda, the Sangha is harmonious." "But, venerable sir, having made a divided Sangha harmonious, what does one produce?" "One produces, Ānanda, immense merit." "But, venerable sir, what is immense merit?" "For an eon, Ānanda, one rejoices in heaven – Happy is the Sangha's harmony, and the support of the harmonious; One who delights in harmony, established in Dhamma, does not fall from security from bondage; Having made the Sangha harmonious, one rejoices in heaven for an eon." The tenth. The Upāli Chapter, the fourth. Its summary – Upāli, establishment, carrying out, ordination, reliance; Novice and two divisions, the two remaining on Ānanda.
