CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)
FIRST KHANDHAKA IV. THE PATISARANIYA-KAMMA (ACT OF RECONCILIATION)
Chapter-20.
1. 'There are five things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a Bhikkhu, the Sangha, if it likes, should carry out the Patisaraniya-kamma against him; (that is to say), when he goes about to bring loss on the laity--when he goes about to do harm to the laity--when he goes about to deprive the laity of their dwellings--when he reviles and finds fault with the laity--when he brings about division between the laity. These are the five things, O Bhikkhus, which (&c., as above, down to) against him.
'There are other five things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a Bhikkhu, the Sangha, if it likes, should carry out the Patisaraniya-kamma against him; (that is to say), when he speaks to the laity in dispraise of the Buddha--when he speaks to the laity in dispraise of the Dhamma--when he speaks to the laity in dispraise of the Sangha--when he puts laymen down, and lowers them by censure--when he does not fulfil a promise made in accordance with the Rules to the laity. These are the other five things, O Bhikkhus, which (&c., as before, down to) against him.
'There are five kinds of Bhikkhus, O Bhikkhus, against whom the Sangha, if it likes, should carry out the Patisaraniya-kamma; (that is to say), one who goes about to bring loss on the laity (&c., as in the last paragraph, down to the end).'
