“Now suppose the thought occurs to the monks, ‘Friends, this monk, having had a suspension transaction for not making amends for an offense imposed on him by the Saṅgha, has behaved properly, lowered his hackles, mended his ways. He is asking for the rescinding of the suspension transaction for not making amends for an offense. Let’s rescind the suspension transaction on him for not making amends for an offense.”

“United … not in accordance with the Dhamma.

“A faction … in accordance with the Dhamma.

“A faction … a semblance of the Dhamma.

“United … a semblance of the Dhamma.

The wheel should be completed.
