English version The mind should be upheld. The upright one renounces (becomes a monk), the pure one attains full ordination (becomes a Bhikkhu), known by the Perfectly Awakened One (Buddha), spoken by the truthful one (an honest person). The verse of generating faith is completed. Next, a brief explanation of the expedient methods for encouraging practice. Venerable one (an honorific for a fully ordained monk). You have already received full ordination (Bhikkhu ordination). Do not be negligent. You should diligently practice. The brief explanation of the expedient methods for encouraging practice is completed. Next, the newly ordained Bhikkhu (monk) bows to the Preceptor, the Instructor, and the entire Sangha (monastic community) three times. He expresses gratitude and upholds the granting of full ordination. The Bhikkhu's conduct is now complete. When receiving the Karma (Sangha meeting), one should maintain purity and eliminate offenses. The Sangha should sit in order at the place where the Karma is being performed. The Bhikkhu should sit before the assembly and say: 'Venerable Sangha, be mindful. Now is the time for the Sangha to perform the rite of granting full ordination. If any member of the Sangha has violated the precepts, in order to remove the offense, there is no one in this Sangha who can go to another dwelling place and purify the offense before a pure Bhikkhu according to the Dharma. If the Sangha is ready and listening, the Sangha should permit it. The Sangha should now maintain their own offenses and perform the rite of granting ordination, and then go to another place to purify the offenses before a pure Bhikkhu according to the Dharma.' This is a single motion Karma. Next, the Sangha should make a motion of agreement for the dwelling place. The Bhikkhu should sit before the Sangha and say: 'Venerable Sangha, be mindful. The construction is completed. The boundary extends one 'xun' (ancient Chinese unit of length) around the perimeter. In this dwelling, for the sake of granting full ordination, may the Sangha be in agreement. If the Sangha is ready and listening, the Sangha should permit it. The Sangha, the construction is completed. The boundary extends one 'xun' around the perimeter. In this dwelling, the Sangha is in agreement for granting full ordination.' This is a double motion Karma. Next, the Karma should be performed. Venerable Sangha, be mindful. The construction is completed. The boundary extends one 'xun' around the perimeter. This dwelling is the place where the Sangha grants full ordination. Agreement is requested. Therefore, the Sangha, the construction is completed. The boundary extends one 'xun' around the perimeter. This dwelling is for the Sangha to grant full ordination. Permission is granted. If all those with voting tickets. The construction is completed. The boundary extends one --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Seeking the boundary of the land. This property, the Sangha (community of monks) has authorized the granting of higher ordination (Upasampada). Those who agree remain silent. If there are those who do not agree, state the Sangha's opinion. The Sangha's construction is completed, with a 'xun' (ancient unit of length) of land surrounding the boundary. The Sangha has authorized the granting of higher ordination for this property. Because of the silent consent, the matter is thus established. This is a statement regarding the completed construction. Regarding the regulations for the dwelling, if additional construction is not yet completed, it should be stated that the construction is not yet completed. Or, in an open area, it should be stated that the foundation has not yet been built. Follow the previous Karma (Sangha act) procedure. Teaching the Method for Requesting Ordination Whenever there is someone requesting ordination, they must receive the precepts of discipline in order. When initially wanting to grant the Upasaka (layman) precepts, one should first inquire about their obstacles. After inquiring about the obstacles, then teach them to say this: 'Namo Buddhaya (Homage to the Buddha), Namo Dharmaya (Homage to the Dharma), Namo Sanghaya (Homage to the Sangha).' The World-Honored One, the Tathagata (Thus Gone One), Arhat (Worthy One), Samyaksambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One), Vidya-charana-sampanna (Endowed with Knowledge and Conduct), Sugata (Well-Gone One), Lokavid (Knower of the World), Anuttara-purusa-damya-sarathi (Unsurpassed Trainer of Those Who Can Be Tamed), Sasta deva-manusyanam (Teacher of Gods and Humans), Buddha (Enlightened One), the World-Honored One. He speaks well of the wonderful Dharma, good in the beginning, good in the middle, good in the end, with profound meaning, skillful language, without impurities, complete, pure, and clean. The wise, through close observation, realize it within themselves. The World-Honored One's Sravaka-samgha (community of disciples) practices well, practices according to the Dharma, practices with integrity, practices harmoniously, and achieves according to the Dharma. Since they have already renounced the world, I should follow them in renouncing the world.' After saying this, one should grant the Three Refuges (Trisarana) and the Upasaka precepts. Example of the Karma (Sangha act) Procedure for Granting Higher Ordination (Upasampada) (Mulasarvastivada school) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
