These seven types of people should not be appointed to these positions. If someone is forced to be appointed, just as it is against the will of those who do not want to be appointed, they should not be blamed or questioned. This in itself is a treasure and storehouse for future generations. Those who serve as Patini Sangha Mopaali (specific meaning unknown) should practice one hundred and sixty virtues. Those who serve as Direct Month (month duty monk) should practice sixty virtues. Those who serve as Direct Day (day duty monk) should practice ten virtues. Those who serve as Moma De (specific meaning unknown) should practice thirty virtues. Those who serve as Direct Year (year duty monk) should practice ten virtues. If the above five types of people can practice according to the above requirements, they will eventually reach the state of non-action and save the world. Patini Sangha Mopaali (specific meaning unknown) has fifteen virtues: First, for the sake of the Buddha; second, for the sake of the Dharma; third, for the sake of the Bhikkhu Sangha; fourth, one should cherish the property of the community; fifth, one should cherish the property of the Chatudissa Sangha (monks from the four directions); sixth, one should cherish the property of the Bhikkhu Sangha; seventh, one should understand the affairs of the Buddha; eighth, one should understand the affairs of the Chatudissa Sangha; ninth, one should understand the affairs of the Bhikkhu Sangha; tenth, one should not mix the property of the stupa with the property of the Chatudissa Sangha; eleventh, one should not mix the property of the stupa with the property of the Bhikkhu Sangha; twelfth, one should not mix the property of the Chatudissa Sangha with the property of the stupa; thirteenth, one should not mix the property of the Chatudissa Sangha with the property of the Bhikkhu Sangha; fourteenth, one should not mix the property of the Bhikkhu Sangha with the property of the stupa; fifteenth, one should not mix the property of the Bhikkhu Sangha with the property of the Chatudissa Sangha. Those who manage the property of the Sangha also have fifteen virtues: First, if you want to do something, you should report it to the community. Second, you must not embezzle the property of the community and hide it for yourself. Third, you must not use the property of the community privately to benefit close relatives. Fourth, you must not take the property of the community without permission, hide it, and use it in your own name. Fifth, you should regularly check and care for the bedding of the community.
