1.36

「若比丘!依聚落,若城邑住,污他家,行惡行,污他家亦見亦聞,行惡行亦見亦聞。諸比丘當語是比丘言:『大德!污他家,行惡行,污他家亦見亦聞,行惡行亦見亦聞,大德!汝污他家,行惡行,今可遠此聚落去,不須住此。』是比丘語彼比丘作是語:『大德!諸比丘有愛、有恚、有怖、有癡,有如是同罪比丘,有驅者、有不驅者。』諸比丘報言:『大德!莫作是語:「有愛、有恚、有怖、有癡,有如是同罪比丘,有驅者、有不驅者。」而諸比丘不愛、不恚、不怖、不癡。大德!污他家,行惡行,污他家亦見亦聞,行惡行亦見亦聞。』是比丘如是諫時,堅持不捨;彼比丘應三諫,捨此事故,乃至三諫。捨者善;不捨者,僧伽婆尸沙。

If a monk, depending on (or attached to) a certain village (or, it may be, an assembly of monks"), live (in a fixed habitation) in a city or town, and pollute the house in which he lives, walking disorderly, so that all see it and hear it, all the monks ought to converse with this monk, and say, “Brother! you have polluted the family in which you reside; your conduct is disorderly; all men see it, and talk of it. Now, you are able to leave this monastery (assembly) and go elsewhere; you may not live in this community/ These monks so speaking, and that one replying, “Brothers! this community is one-sided (through love), is full of anger, wishes to terrify, is foolish; there are other monks guilty of this same fault, some are ex pelled, and some not.” Then all the monks, chiding him, shall say, “Brother! say not so, that in this community there are monks of such character, whereas it is not the case. Brother, it is your disorderly conduct which all men see and talk about (that is the cause of our speaking as we do).” Thus if he, at the time of this warning, still hold his opinion, let it be repeated three times; if he retract and repent, well! if not, let him be suspended.
