The Discussion of Lapses in Dependence [BMC]

[97] tena kho pana samayena bhikkhū ācariyupajjhāyesu pakkantesupi vibbhantesupi kālakatesupi pakkhasaṅkantesupi nissayapaṭippassaddhiyo na jānanti.

Now at that time, monks — when their teachers had gone away, renounced the training, died, or gone over to (another) faction[1] — did not know if their dependence had lapsed.

bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

pañcimā bhikkhave nissayapaṭippassaddhiyo upajjhāyamhā upajjhāyo pakkanto vā hoti vibbhanto vā kālakato vā pakkhasaṅkanto vā āṇattiyeva pañcamī imā kho bhikkhave pañca nissayapaṭippassaddhiyo upajjhāyamhā.

“There are these five lapses in dependence on one’s preceptor: The preceptor goes away, renounces the training, dies, joins (another) faction, or, as the fifth, (gives) a command. These are the five lapses in dependence on one’s preceptor.

Chayimā bhikkhave nissayapaṭippassaddhiyo ācariyamhā ācariyo pakkanto vā hoti vibbhanto vā kālakato vā pakkhasaṅkanto vā āṇattiyeva pañcamī upajjhāyena vā samodhānagato hoti imā kho bhikkhave cha nissayapaṭippassaddhiyo ācariyamhā.

“There are these six lapses in dependence on one’s teacher: The teacher goes away, renounces the training, dies, joins (another) faction, or, as the fifth, (gives) a command. Or, one is joined with one’s preceptor. These are the six lapses in dependence on one’s teacher.” [BMC]

Notes

According to the Commentary, this means another religion, but it could also mean another faction in a split Saṅgha.
