CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)

SECOND KHANDHAKA (PROBATION AND PENANCE)

Chapter-2.

1. Now the venerable Upali went up to the place where the Lord Buddha was; and on arriving there, he saluted the Lord Buddha, and took his seat on one side. And when he was so seated the venerable Upali said to the Lord Buddha: 'Now in what case, Lord, can there be an interruption of the probationary period of a Bhikkhu who has been placed on probation?'

There are three ways of interruption of the probationary period, O Upali, of a Bhikkhu who has been placed on probation; (that is to say), by dwelling together, by dwelling alone, and by not announcing.

'These are the three ways of interruption to the probationary period, O Upali, of a Bhikkhu who has been placed under probation.'
