四分律比丘戒本 1.p11

1.p11

Are the Monks assembled? (They are.) Are all things arranged? (seats, water, sweeping, etc.) (They are.) Let all depart who are not ordained. (If any, let them go; if none are present, let them say so.) Does any monk here present ask for absolution? (Let them answer accordingly.) Exhortation must be given to the nuns, (but if there are none present let them say so.) Are we agreed what our present business is? It is to repeat the Precepts in this lawful assembly.
