1.9

Have the bhikṣuṇīs who have not come conveyed their chanda and pārisuddhi? (Only when performing a sīmābandha is chanda not permitted to be given. Chanda must be conveyed together with pārisuddhi. At the time of pravāraṇā, one should say, "Give chanda and pravāraṇā." If there is business concerning the Buddha, Dharma, or Saṃgha, illness, or circumstances of nursing the sick, conveying chanda is permitted. The Vinaya states: "There are five ways to convey chanda: saying, 'I give you my chanda'; saying, 'I declare my chanda'; saying, 'Declare chanda for me'; conveying chanda by bodily gesture; or conveying chanda in full. If one does not make a bodily gesture and does not verbally declare chanda, the conveyance of chanda is invalid. One must give chanda to another again. If the bearer of chanda, after receiving the chanda, then passes away, goes elsewhere, leaves the monastic order, joins an external sect, joins another monastic faction, goes onto the māḷaka, if dawn appears, if she declares herself to have committed an antima-vatthu or is one of the other thirteen persons, if she comes under codanā, is subjected to nāśanā, ought to receive nāśanā, is in the air by supernormal power, or is away from the place of sight and hearing, the conveyance of chanda is invalid; she must give chanda to another again. If this occurs on the way or upon reaching the saṃgha, it is likewise so. When declaring chanda in full, one should go to the person conveying the chanda, adopt the proper deportment, and speak thus:)
