The Discussion of Rescinding the Suspension Transaction for not Making Amends [BMC]

idha pana bhikkhave bhikkhu saṅghena āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammakato sammā vattati lomaṁ pāteti netthāraṁ vattati āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammassa paṭippassaddhiṁ yācati.

“Monks, there is the case where a monk, having had a suspension transaction imposed on him for not making amends for an offense by the Saṅgha, behaves properly, lowers his hackles, mends his ways. He asks for the rescinding of the suspension transaction for not making amends for an offense.

tatra ce bhikkhūnaṁ evaṁ hoti ayaṁ kho āvuso bhikkhu saṅghena āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammakato sammā vattati lomaṁ pāteti netthāraṁ vattati āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammassa paṭippassaddhiṁ yācati handassa mayaṁ āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammaṁ paṭippassambhemāti.

“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.”

te tassa āpattiyā appaṭikamme ukkhepanīyakammaṁ paṭippassambhenti adhammena vaggā .pe.

“They, a faction, rescind the suspension transaction on him for not making amends for an offense, not in accordance with the Dhamma. …

adhammena samaggā.

“United … not in accordance with the Dhamma.

dhammena vaggā.

“A faction … in accordance with the Dhamma.

dhammapaṭirūpakena vaggā.

“A faction … a semblance of the Dhamma.

dhammapaṭirūpakena samaggā.

“United … a semblance of the Dhamma.

cakkaṁ kātabbaṁ.

The wheel should be completed.
