c10.29

1. Sexual intercourse of any kind is forbidden.
2. Taking what is not given is forbidden.
3. “A monk who shall knowingly deprive a human being of life, or seek out an armed person against him, or by uttering the praises of death shall incite to suicide, saying, ‘ho, man! what is this evil, wretched life to thee?’—he is pārājika, and is not in association.”
4. “A monk who, though not having the higher knowledge of possessing the superhuman qualities, shall give out with regard to himself that he knows and perceives that complete knowledge and insight has arisen, and then at another time, whether on being pressed or not, desiring to be purified, says, ‘without knowing, friends, I said now, without perceiving, I said I perceive, speaking vainly and falsely’, unless it was through undue assurance—he is *pārājika*, he is no longer in association.”
