尼羯磨 2.173

2.173

"Suṇātu me ayye saṃgho! This bhikṣuṇī [name] is fond of quarrelling and disputing, reviling one another, mouths producing swords and daggers, mutually seeking out faults. Having quarreled among themselves, if other bhikṣuṇīs are quarrelling, she then goes there to encourage them, saying: 'Exert your efforts! Do not be inferior to the others! You are of wisdom and great learning, superior in wealth, and have many acquaintances; we shall be your allies.' She causes disputes to arise where the saṃgha had no disputes, and where there were already disputes, prevents them from being settled. The saṃgha executes the tarjanīya-karman for bhikṣuṇī [name]. Whichever ayyes approve that the saṃgha execute the tarjanīya-karman for bhikṣuṇī [name], and that if later she quarrels, disputes, and reviles again, the saṃgha will discipline her with increased penalties, remain silent; whoever does not approve, speak. (Three times.) The saṃgha has approved executing the tarjanīya-karman for bhikṣuṇī [name]. The saṃgha approves, and is therefore silent; thus is this matter maintained." (Once she has received the karman, she must practice the thirty-five practices. These thirty-five practices are fully explained above.)
