Procedure for removing pārājika offences. (According to the Vinaya, there are five kinds of confession: some offences are confessed by mental reflection alone; for some minor offences, one confesses to another; for some medium offences, one also confesses to another; for some grave offences, one confesses to another; and some offences cannot be confessed—such an inconfessable offence refers to a pārājika offence. For committing a pārājika offence, there are three legal procedures: first, if committed and concealed, one is given the karman of permanent expulsion (nāśanā); second, if committed and not concealed, one is given the karman of training in penance for the rest of one's life; third, if a person undergoing penance commits it again, she is given the karman of permanent expulsion.)
