by
Ven. Khematto Bhikkhu
Alternate translations/layout: 'line by line' Pāḷi - English

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

“Now suppose the thought occurs to the monks, ‘Friends, this monk, having had a suspension transaction for not relinquishing an evil view 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 relinquishing an evil view. Let’s rescind the suspension transaction on him for not relinquishing an evil view.”

“They, a faction, rescind the suspension transaction on him for not relinquishing an evil view, not in accordance with the Dhamma. …

“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.
