'Except by Saṃgha-karma': according to the Vinaya, when Devadatta was about to cause a schism in the Saṃgha, the Buddha ordered a ñattidutiya-kamma to appoint Śāriputra to declare his faults beforehand among the assembly of white-robed laity; therefore it was not an offence. The sixth fascicle of the Sarvāstivāda-śāstra says: 'Better to destroy a stūpa and break an image than speak of a monk's faults to an unordained person; if one speaks of them, one destroys the Dharmakāya.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.38) - [Next: 2.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.40) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807~en-mt.2.39) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1807.2.39) · Pramāṇa
