3.18

"Ayye! Do not, upon a single slight matter, become angry and displeased, and then say: 'I renounce the Buddha, renounce the Dharma, renounce the saṃgha! It is not that there are only these Śākyan recluses; there are other recluses, brahmins, and practitioners of the brahmacarya. We can also practice the brahmacarya among them.' Abandon this matter; do not be rebuked by the saṃgha and thereby commit further grave offences." (If she complies with the words, it is well; if she does not comply with the words, it is spoken up to three times as above. The substantial procedure of the jñapticaturtha-karman is also clarified as in the Vinaya.)
