「若比丘!惡性不受人語,於戒法中,諸比丘如法諫已,自身不受諫語,言:『諸大德!莫向我說若好、若惡,我亦不向諸大德說若好、若惡。諸大德且止!莫諫我。』彼比丘應諫是比丘言:『大德!莫自身不受諫語,大德自身當受諫語,大德如法諫諸比丘,諸比丘亦如法諫大德。如是佛弟子眾得增益,展轉相諫、展轉相教、展轉懺悔。』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, of a bad disposition, will not bear being spoken to, according to the direction of the law of precepts, and if, when all the monks have expostulated with him on this account, he reply, “Brother, do not talk thus at me! whether I am right or wrong! I also will say nothing to you, whether right or wrong. Brother, be agreed (or satisfied), do not find fault!” Those monks, addressing him, shall say, “Brother! refuse not to receive our appeal! a brother ought to receive the word of (kind) expostulation. Brother! as the law corrects all the monks, so would all the monks, according to the law, expostulate with our brother. So the disciples of Buddha shall all receive profit, correcting each other in turn for their faults, and mutually inviting each other to further repentance.” These monks thus speaking to him, if he still hold by his opinion after three warnings, let him be suspended.
