(The Vinaya states: "Those who ought to come have come." It also states: "There are four kinds of saṃgha: four persons, five persons, ten persons, and twenty persons. A saṃgha of four persons, except for upasampadā, pravāraṇā, and mānāpya, may perform all other karman procedures. A saṃgha of five persons, except for upasampadā in the Central Lands and mānāpya, may perform all other karman procedures. A saṃgha of ten persons, except for mānāpya, may perform all other karman procedures. A saṃgha of twenty persons may perform all karman procedures; how much more so if exceeding twenty. If among any of the four categories of saṃgha there is a lack of even one person, the performance of the ritual is invalid; it is adhammena and not according to the vinaya.") > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.1.5) - [Next: 1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.1.7) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810~en-mt.1.6) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [四分律刪補隨機羯磨](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1808.1.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1810.1.6) · Pramāṇa
