Why? For fear of causing division in the saṃgha. A bhikṣu should first have these five dharmas, and only then go to the saṃgha.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.143](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3.143) - [Next: 3.145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3.145) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809~en-mt.3.144) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [四分律](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.vinaya.other-vinayas.dharmaguptaka*zh-buddhayasas.60.4) — Classical Chinese - [尼羯磨](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.3.120) — Classical Chinese - [宗四分比丘隨門要略行儀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2791.1.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3.144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1809.3.144) · Pramāṇa
