please remain silent. I ask those who cannot so accept it to speak now.’

“In accepting and giving their consent, the saṅgha agrees on the site as the saṅgha’s restoration rite site—the whole of which is natural, created, or claimed and has one fathom of land between the inner boundary and beyond. By remaining silent, they assent to the proposed act.

“The monks may then sit down at the site the saṅgha has agreed on as the restoration rite site and perform the restoration rite, the lifting of restrictions,¹⁴⁶ motions, acts by motion and resolution, and acts by motion and triple resolution. If they perform [an official act] while being incomplete, they will be guilty of a breach.”¹⁴⁷

Kapphiṇa

The Blessed Buddha was staying at the Kalandakanivāpa in the Bamboo Grove near Rājagṛha.¹⁴⁹ The brahmin Kapphiṇa was staying at Senikā Cave near Rājagṛha, together with the saṅgha with whom he had enclosed a site with a shared restoration rite.¹⁵⁰ On the fifteenth, a great many monks were seated and assembled at the restoration rite site. The majority were seated and waiting for the venerable brahmin Kapphiṇa. Then Kapphiṇa thought, “Today the saṅgha’s restoration rite falls on the fifteenth. If today, the fifteenth, is also my, the monk Kapphiṇa’s, restoration rite, should I or should I not go to the site of the saṅgha’s restoration rite? Should I or should I not participate in the restoration rite with the saṅgha? Should I or should I not attend the saṅgha’s acts and activities?
