c10.57
“An ordained monk may not have sexual intercourse, not even with an animal. The monk who has sexual intercourse, is no longer a monk; he is no disciple of the son of the Sakya house. As a man whose head is cut off, cannot live with the trunk, so also a monk who practises sexual intercourse is no longer a monk: he is no disciple of the son of the Sakya house. Thou must abstain therefrom all thy life.
