僧羯磨 2.48

2.48

"May the venerable saṃgha listen! This bhikṣu so-and-so committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offense and concealed it for [so many] days. This bhikṣu so-and-so committed a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offense, concealed it accordingly for [so many] days, and has requested from the saṃgha the karman of concealment; the saṃgha has granted to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman corresponding to [so many] days of concealment. While this bhikṣu so-and-so was practicing [parivāsa for] concealment, in the interim he committed again a certain saṃghāvaśeṣa offense and concealed it for [so many] days; now he requests from the saṃgha the karman of concealment for [so many] days for the former offense and intermediate repeat offense, and sending back to the beginning of concealment; the saṃgha grants to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman of concealment for [so many] days for the former offense and intermediate repeat offense, and sending back to the beginning of concealment. Whichever venerable ones approve that the saṃgha grants to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman of concealment for [so many] days for the former offense and intermediate repeat offense, and sending back to the beginning of concealment, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak." (Spoken three times.) "The saṃgha has approved granting to bhikṣu so-and-so the karman of concealment for [so many] days for the former offense and intermediate repeat offense, and sending back to the beginning of concealment. The saṃgha approves, therefore it is silent; so is this matter held." (If he commits an offense yet again, the granting of the procedure should be known by analogy. As for procedures such as announcing the practice, detail them fully according to the circumstances.)
