Therefore, the Tattvasiddhi-śāstra inquires into impediments: perpetrators of unpardonable sins, those who dwell as thieves \[in the Saṅgha\], and those who defile bhikṣuṇīs are not permitted to become bhikṣus. If such persons become white-robed laity, they attain wholesome moral restraint, and are not impeded from cultivating wholesome deeds such as giving and loving-kindness; they only possess mundane precepts. Because these persons are defiled by their karmic actions and also obstructed from the noble path, they are not permitted to leave the household life. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 88.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.7) - [Next: 88.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.9) - [Up: 88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.88.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.88.8) · Pramāṇa
