僧羯磨 1.124

1.124

"May the venerable saṃgha listen! This so-and-so seeks to receive upasampadā from so-and-so. This so-and-so now begs the saṃgha to receive upasampadā, with so-and-so as his upādhyāya. So-and-so has declared himself to be pure and free from all obstacles, full twenty years of age, and complete with the three robes and bowl. The saṃgha now confers upasampadā on so-and-so, with so-and-so as his upādhyāya. Whichever venerable ones approve of the saṃgha conferring upasampadā on so-and-so, with so-and-so as his upādhyāya, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak." (To be spoken three times.) "The saṃgha has approved conferring upasampadā on so-and-so, with so-and-so as his upādhyāya. Because the saṃgha approves, it is silent; so is this matter maintained." (After performing this procedure, the time should be recorded for him. The reception of precepts on the borders is no different from this.)
