尼羯磨 3.29

3.29

"From this day forth, in establishing the settlement in the presence to settle disputes with the bhikṣuṇīs, the settlement in the presence should be stated in this way." (However, presence has five aspects: namely, the Dharma, the vinaya, the person, the saṃgha, and the sīmā. What is presence of the Dharma? It is the Dharma held that settles the dispute. What is presence of the vinaya? It is the vinaya held that settles the dispute. What is presence of the person? It is the mutual exchange of words and arguments. What is presence of the saṃgha? It is assembling harmoniously in one place for the same karman, where those who do not come send their chanda, and those who are present and ought to object do not object. What is presence of the sīmā? It is carrying out the karman within the designated boundary of the sīmā.)
