1.1.1Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa.Homage to the Buddha, the Perfected One, the fully Awakened One

1.1.2PTS 2.1Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.1.1.3Tena kho pana samayena paṇḍukalohitakā bhikkhū attanā bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā, yepi caññe bhikkhū bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā te upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadanti—At that time the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka were quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Sangha. They went to other monks who were also quarrelsome, argumentative, and creators of legal issues in the Sangha, and said to them,1.1.4“mā kho tumhe, āyasmanto, eso ajesi.“Don’t let him beat you.1.1.5Balavābalavaṁ paṭimantetha.Argue back forcefully.1.1.6Tumhe tena paṇḍitatarā ca byattatarā ca bahussutatarā ca alamattatarā ca.You’re wiser, more competent, more learned, and more capable than he.1.1.7Mā cassa bhāyittha.Don’t be afraid of him.1.1.8Mayampi tumhākaṁ pakkhā bhavissāmā”ti.We’ll take your side.”1.1.9Tena anuppannāni ceva bhaṇḍanāni uppajjanti uppannāni ca bhaṇḍanāni bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattanti.Because of that, new quarrels started and existing quarrels became worse.

1.2.1Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,1.2.2“kathañhi nāma paṇḍukalohitakā bhikkhū attanā bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā, yepi caññe bhikkhū bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā te upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vakkhanti—“How can the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka act like this?”1.2.3‘mā kho tumhe, āyasmanto, eso ajesi.1.2.4Balavābalavaṁ paṭimantetha.1.2.5Tumhe tena paṇḍitatarā ca byattatarā ca bahussutatarā ca alamattatarā ca.1.2.6Mā cassa bhāyittha.1.2.7Mayampi tumhākaṁ pakkhā bhavissāmā’ti.1.2.8Tena anuppannāni ceva bhaṇḍanāni uppajjanti uppannāni ca bhaṇḍanāni bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattantī”ti.

1.2.11PTS 2.2“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, paṇḍukalohitakā bhikkhū attanā bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā, yepi caññe bhikkhū bhaṇḍanakārakā kalahakārakā vivādakārakā bhassakārakā saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā te upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadanti—“Is it true, monks, that the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are acting like this?”1.2.12‘mā kho tumhe, āyasmanto, eso ajesi.1.2.13Balavābalavaṁ paṭimantetha.1.2.14Tumhe tena paṇḍitatarā ca byattatarā ca bahussutatarā ca alamattatarā ca.1.2.15Mā cassa bhāyittha.1.2.16Mayampi tumhākaṁ pakkhā bhavissāmā’ti.1.2.17Tena anuppannāni ceva bhaṇḍanāni uppajjanti, uppannāni ca bhaṇḍanāni bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattantī”ti?

1.2.18“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

1.2.19Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—The Buddha rebuked them,1.2.20“ananucchavikaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ moghapurisānaṁ ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.“It’s not suitable for those foolish men, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.1.2.21Kathañhi nāma te, bhikkhave, moghapurisā attanā bhaṇḍanakārakā …pe…How can they act like this,1.2.22saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā, yepi caññe bhikkhū bhaṇḍanakārakā …pe…1.2.23saṅghe adhikaraṇakārakā te upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vakkhanti—1.2.24‘mā kho tumhe, āyasmanto, eso ajesi.1.2.25Balavābalavaṁ paṭimantetha.1.2.26Tumhe tena paṇḍitatarā ca byattatarā ca bahussutatarā ca alamattatarā ca.1.2.27Mā cassa bhāyittha.1.2.28Mayampi tumhākaṁ pakkhā bhavissāmā’ti?1.2.29Tena anuppannāni ceva bhaṇḍanāni uppajjanti, uppannāni ca bhaṇḍanāni bhiyyobhāvāya vepullāya saṁvattanti.causing new quarrels to start and existing quarrels to become worse?1.2.30Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya.This will affect people’s confidence,1.2.31Atha khvetaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānañceva appasādāya pasannānañca ekaccānaṁ aññathattāyā”ti.and cause some to lose it.”

1.3.1Atha kho bhagavā te bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā dubbharatāya dupposatāya mahicchatāya asantuṭṭhitāya saṅgaṇikāya kosajjassa avaṇṇaṁ bhāsitvā anekapariyāyena subharatāya suposatāya appicchassa santuṭṭhassa sallekhassa dhutassa pāsādikassa apacayassa vīriyārambhassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsitvā bhikkhūnaṁ tadanucchavikaṁ tadanulomikaṁ dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—The Buddha then spoke in many ways in dispraise of being difficult to support and maintain, in dispraise of great desires, discontent, socializing, and laziness; but he spoke in many ways in praise of being easy to support and maintain, of fewness of wishes, contentment, self-effacement, ascetic practices, serenity, reduction in things, and being energetic. After giving a teaching on what is right and proper, he addressed the monks:

1.3.2“tena hi, bhikkhave, saṅgho paṇḍukalohitakānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ tajjanīyakammaṁ karotu.“Well then, monks, the Sangha should do a legal procedure of censure against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka.1.4.1Evañca pana, bhikkhave, kātabbaṁ.And this is how it should be done.1.4.2Paṭhamaṁ paṇḍukalohitakā bhikkhū codetabbā, codetvā sāretabbā, sāretvā āpattiṁ āropetabbā, āpattiṁ āropetvā byattena bhikkhunā paṭibalena saṅgho ñāpetabbo—First you should accuse the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. They should then be reminded of what they’ve done, before they’re charged with an offense. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha:
