Pratimoksha of the Dharmaguptakas 1.23

1.23

「諸大德！是中清淨，默然故，是事如是持。

Worthy Sirs! I have thus delivered the four Pārājika rules. If there be any monk who has transgressed either one or other of them, it is impossible for such a man to live in the community after his sin as he was before. That man has acquired the guilt which demands exclusion, and ought not to live as a member of the monkhood. I demand, therefore, Brethren! Are ye all in this assembly pure [3 times]. Brethren! This assembly is pure! Silently, therefore, ye stand! So let it be!
