The Procedure for Removing Sthūlātyaya Offenses (Note that these sthūlātyaya offenses have two categories: first, primary; second, derivative. Between these two, confession is divided into three grades. First is the highest grade, confessed before the large assembly: that is, among the primary, causing schism in the wheel of Dharma as the instigator, stealing four [māṣas], killing a deity, etc.; among the derivative, grave sthūlātyayas subordinate to pārājika. Second is the middling grade, confessed before a small group: that is, among the primary, causing schism in the karman-saṃgha, being an accomplice to schism in the wheel of Dharma, stealing three or two [māṣas], etc.; among the derivative, light sthūlātyayas subordinate to pārājika and grave sthūlātyayas subordinate to saṃghāvaśeṣa. Third is the lower grade, confessed before one person: that is, among the primary, shaving body hair, going naked, [wearing] human skin, [using] a stone bowl, eating raw meat or blood, wearing the robes of non-Buddhists, stealing one coin, etc.; among the derivative, light sthūlātyayas subordinate to saṃghāvaśeṣa.)
