When the monks and nuns were laicized during the Huichang suppression, how could they have been without faults? They were first made to repent their offenses and then elevate their precept rank. Had it not been for the Vaipulya \[precepts\], how could they have been permitted to receive them again? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 42.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.31) - [Next: 42.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.33) - [Up: 42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.42.32) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.42.32) · Pramāṇa
