CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)

FIRST KHANDHAKA I. THE TAJJANIYA KAMMA (ACTS OF REBUKE)

Chapter-5.

1. 'A Bhikkhu(Monk) against whom the Tajjaniya-kamma has been carried out ought to conduct himself aright. And in this this is the right conduct: he ought not to confer the upasampada--he ought not to give a nissaya--he ought not to provide

himself with a samanera--he ought not to accept the office of giving exhortation to the nuns--and if he has accepted the office, he ought not to exhort the nuns--he ought not to commit the offence for which the Tajjaniya-kamma has been carried out by the Sangha against him--nor any offence of a similar kind--nor any worse offence--he ought not to find fault with the proceeding (that has been carried out against him)--nor with (the Bhikkhus) who have carried it out--he ought not to raise objection against a regular Bhikkhu's taking part in the Uposatha ceremony--or in the Pavarana ceremony--he ought not to issue commands (to a junior inhibiting him from going beyond the bounds, or summoning him to come before the elders)--he ought not to set on foot a censure against any other Bhikkhu --he ought not to ask another Bhikkhu to give him leave (to rebuke that Bhikkhu)--he ought not to warn (another Bhikkhu whom he supposes to be offending)--he ought

not to call upon another Bhikkhu to remember (whether he has or has not committed an offence)--and he ought not to associate with the Bhikkhus.'
