44. See, e.g., the entries on “Monasticism” and “Repentance and Confession” in the Encyclopedia of Buddhism (Buswell 2004). Some offenses, however, must be sanctioned (Tib. byin gyis brlab par bya ba; Skt. adhiṣṭheya) through a formal act, and thus are to be confessed before the rite. Such acts are, specifically, saṅgha remnants and transgressions requiring forfeiture. See Kalyāṇamitra (F.244.a–b): byin gyis brlab par bya ba dag ces bya ba ni dge ’dun lhag ma dang/ spang ba’i ltung byed dag go.
