If a monk, knowing that a novice uses similar language, he ought to speak to him and say: “You should not use such language! You should not calumniate the world-honoured one! It is not right to do so; the world-honoured one never used the words you say he did. Novice! the world-honored one, in numberless modes of doctrine, always said that lust is a great obstacle in the way of religion.” The novice, thus corrected, refusing to amend, should be warned three times, and if after this he repent, well; but if not, he ought to be spoken to thus: “You are from this time forth no disciple of Buddha! You may not join yourself with the other monks, as the other novices do; nor is it permitted you to help the Great monks during two or three nights; you are now discharged from these duties; you are at liberty to go; you may go for good; you cannot remain here.” If any monk, knowing that the novice has been thus rejected, associate with him, or suffer him to dwell with him, it is pācittiya.
