"May the venerable saṃgha listen! That non-Buddhist named so-and-so now requests from the assembly of the saṃgha four months of co-residence; the saṃgha now grants him four months of co-residence. Whichever elders approve of the saṃgha granting him four months of co-residence, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak! The saṃgha has already approved granting that non-Buddhist four months of co-residence. Because the saṃgha approves and is silent, thus do we hold this matter." (When he has completed his co-residence and made the minds of the bhikṣus pleased and joyful, only then should he receive the upasampadā in the midst of the saṃgha. How does a non-Buddhist fail to please the minds of the bhikṣus? That non-Buddhist intentionally holds to the practices of non-Buddhist laypeople, stays close to non-Buddhists rather than bhikṣus, does not comply with bhikṣus, and recites and studies alien treatises; if he hears people speaking ill of non-Buddhists, he gives rise to anger; if he hears people reviling the teachings of non-Buddhist masters, he also gives rise to anger; if another non-Buddhist comes and praises the good qualities of non-Buddhists, he rejoices and leaps with joy; if a non-Buddhist master comes and hears praise of non-Buddhist matters, he also rejoices and leaps with joy; if he hears someone speaking of unwholesome deeds regarding the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṃgha, he also rejoices; this is called a non-Buddhist failing to please the bhikṣus. How does a non-Buddhist please the bhikṣus? It is simply the reverse of the above. This is called a non-Buddhist co-residing, harmonizing and regulating his mind, and making the bhikṣus pleased.)
