Procedure for Removing Sthūlātyaya Offences: (Note: this sthūlātyaya has two classes: first, primary; second, secondary. Within these two, confession has three grades. First, the superior grade, confessed before a great assembly: under primary offences, this refers to being the leader in breaking the wheel of Dharma, theft of four [māṣas], killing a deity, and so forth; under secondary offences, the heavy sthūlātyayas subordinate to pārājika. Second, the intermediate grade, confessed before a small assembly: under primary offences, this refers to schism of the karman-saṃgha, being an accomplice in breaking the wheel of Dharma, theft of three or two [māṣas], and so forth; under secondary offences, the light sthūlātyayas subordinate to pārājika and the heavy sthūlātyayas subordinate to saṃghāvaśeṣa. Third, the inferior grade, confessed before one person: under primary offences, this refers to shaving hair, nudity, human skin, stone bowls, eating raw meat or blood, wearing the robes of non-Buddhists, theft of one coin, and so forth; under secondary offences, the light sthūlātyayas subordinate to saṃghāvaśeṣa.)
