6.37

Regarding "committing a heavy violation of the vinaya and being expelled": The Four-Division Vinaya states: "If a bhikṣu or bhikṣuṇī has committed a pārājika and has no mind of concealment, let them repent according to the Dharma." The Vinayamātṛkā-śāstra states: "Having performed the ritual of fourfold karmavācanā repentance, it is termed purely maintaining the precepts. However, in this single lifetime they cannot transcend birth and death, though it prevents falling into hell." The Four-Division Vinaya states: "If [the offense is] heavy, the violator is permanently expelled." "And the various offenses that obstruct the path" refers to the saṃghāvaśeṣas and below.
