1.59

(The Four-Part Vinaya states: "I went to the place of upoṣadha and did not sit, so as to create a split assembly. The Buddha said: 'It is non-Dharmic.'" The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya states: "A sick person turned his back on the karman for upoṣadha. The Buddha said: 'It is a split assembly.'" By extension, drunkards and the like, or speaking when the person before one does not understand, or a mismatch between mind and object, are all called non-Dharmic. Therefore, within the "Procedures for Receiving and Renouncing Precepts" in the Vinaya, it states: "If asleep, drunk, mad, or enraged, such that they do not mutually comprehend, under conditions such as those mentioned before, none are valid." Furthermore, one must know the four permutations, such as split assembly versus not counting toward the quorum, clearly discerning both the conditions of validity and invalidity when facing a situation.)
