Furthermore, there are two assemblies: "A dharmika assembly and an adharmika assembly. What is an adharmika assembly? If within an assembly the adharmika individuals have power and the dharmika individuals lack power; the adharmika individuals find allies and the dharmika individuals do not find allies; they carry out adharmika karmans and do not carry out dharmika karmans; they carry out non-Vinaya karmans and do not carry out Vinaya karmans; the adharmika readily proceeds and the dharmika does not proceed—this is called an adharmika assembly. What is a dharmika assembly? If within an assembly the dharmika individuals have power and the adharmika individuals lack power; the dharmika individuals find allies and the adharmika individuals do not find allies; they carry out dharmika karmans and do not carry out adharmika karmans; they carry out Vinaya karmans and do not carry out non-Vinaya karmans; the dharmika proceeds and the adharmika is extinguished—this is called a dharmika assembly. Between these two assemblies, the dharmika assembly is the one I praise as supreme." The Buddha having spoken thus, the bhikṣus heard it, rejoiced, faithfully accepted, and upheld it. There are two assemblies: an equitable assembly and an inequitable assembly, which are also like this.
