僧羯磨 1.7

1.7

Do the bhikṣus who have not come state their chanda and pariśuddhi? (Only when binding a sīmā is one not permitted to state chanda. Chanda must be stated together with pariśuddhi. If at the time of pravāraṇā, one should say, "Confer chanda for pravāraṇā." If there is business concerning the Buddha, Dharma, or Saṃgha, illness, or the circumstance of nursing the sick, one is permitted to confer chanda. The Vinaya states: "Conferring chanda is of five kinds: saying 'I confer chanda to you'; saying 'I state chanda'; saying 'State chanda for me'; conferring chanda through bodily gesture; or conferring chanda in full detail. If one does not manifest a bodily gesture and does not orally state chanda, it does not constitute conferring chanda, and one must confer chanda to another. If the bearer of chanda, having received the chanda, then passes away, goes elsewhere, leaves the monastic path, joins an outside non-Buddhist community, joins the assembly of a different school, reaches upon the sīmā-maṇḍala, the sign of dawn appears, declares himself to be one of the thirteen persons committing an antimavatthu, is accused, is subjected to utkṣepaṇīya-karman, is subject to utkṣepaṇīya-karman, is suspended in space by spiritual powers, or is separated beyond sight and hearing, it does not constitute conferring chanda, and one must confer chanda to another. If this occurs on the way or in the saṃgha, it is also likewise. If one confers chanda in full detail, one should go to the person conveying the chanda, fulfill the proper deportment, and speak thus:)
