2.1277

In resolving doubts: regarding committing or not committing, monks and nuns are equally heavy; the lower three classes are all light and do not incur the principal offense. Distinguishing the marks in full refers to the detailed explanation in the Vinaya. The commentary says: 'In order to clarify that all five classes have marks of violation; although light and heavy differ, the meaning of purification-transfer is the same, hence all their names are listed; as for the procedure of purification, it follows the Vinaya rules.' (This means that the authentic purification-master must face his own class, and they must not act interchangeably.)
