1How are we, Lord, to arrange the dwelling-places of those Bhikkhus ?’ ‘Well, S4riputta, assign separate dwelling-places to them.’ ’ See Xullavagga X, 1, 4, and the sgth P&éittiya Rule in the Bhikkhuni-paitimokkha. * As in §8. Instead of ‘ Well, householder,’ read ‘Well, Vis&kh4.’ X, 5, 12 SCHISMS AMONG THE SAMGHA. 319 ‘And if there be no separate dwelling-places, what are we to do then, Lord?’ ‘Then, Sdriputta, you must separate (some dwelling-places from the rest) and then assign them (to those Bhikkhus). But in no wise, Sériputta, do I say that the dwelling-place of a senior- Bhikkhu must be taken from him. He who does that, commits a dukka/Za offence.’ ‘And how are we to act, Lord, regarding (the distribution of) material gifts! ?’ ‘Material gifts, Sariputta, must be distributed among all in equal parts.’ 11. And that Bhikkhu against whom expulsion had been pronounced, pondering over both Dhamma and Vinaya, came to the following conclusion: ‘ This is an offence ; thisis not no offence. I aman offender ; I am not offenceless, I am expelled; I am not unexpelled. The sentence by which I have been - expelled is lawful, unobjectionable, and valid.’ Then that expelled Bhikkhu went to the expelled Bhikkhu’s partisans ; having approached them, he said to the partisans of the expelled Bhikkhu: ‘This is an offence, friends; this is not no offence, &c. Come now, my venerable brethren, and restore me.’ 12. Then the partisans of that expelled Bhikkhu took with them the expelled Bhikkhu, and went to the place where the Blessed’ One was; having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, they sat down near him. Sitting near him those Bhikkhus said to the Blessed One: ‘Lord, this Bhikkhu, against whom expulsion has been pronounced, says, “ This is an offence, friends (&c., ¥ Such as food, robes, &c. 320 MAHAVAGGA. X, 5) 13+ down to:) and restore me.” What are we to do here, Lord ?’ ‘This is an offence, O Bhikkhus; this is not no offence. This Bhikkhu is an offender; this Bhikkhu is not offenceless. This Bhikkhu is expelled; he is not unexpelled; the sentence by which he has been expelled is lawful, unobjectionable, and valid. But since this Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, having committed _an offence, and having been sentenced to expulsion, sees (his offence), restore now that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus.’
2This Bhikkhu is expelled; he is not unexpelled; the sentence by which he has been expelled is lawful, unobjectionable, and valid. But since this Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, having committed _an offence, and having been sentenced to expulsion, sees (his offence), restore now that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus.’ 13. And the partisans of that expelled Bhikkhu, having restored that expelled Bhikkhu, went to the Bhikkhus who had sentenced him to expulsion; having approached them, they said to the Bhikkhus who had pronounced that sentence: ‘As regards that matter, friends, which gave origin to altercations among the Samgha, to contentions, discord, quarrels, divisions among the Samgha, to disunion among the Samgha, to separations among the Samgha, to schisms among the Samgha,—that Bhikkhu (who was concerned in that matter), having committed an offence, and having been sentenced to expulsion, has seen (his offence) and has been restored. Come, friends, let us declare now the re-establishment of concord among the Samgha in order to bring that matter to an end.’ Then the Bhikkhus who had pronounced that sentence of expulsion, went to the place where the Blessed One was; having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, they sat down near him; sitting near him those Bhikkhus said to the Blessed One: ‘Lord, those partisans of the expelled Bhikkhu have said to us: “As regards X, 5, 14. SCHISMS AMONG THE SAMGHA. 321 that matter (&c., down to:) in order to-bring that matter to an end.” What are we to do here, Lord?’ 14. ‘Since this Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, having committed an offence, and having been sentenced to expulsion, has seen (his offence) and has been restored, let the Samgha, O Bhikkhus, declare the re-establishment of concord in order to bring that matter to an end. And this declaration is to be performed in this way: Let all brethren assemble together, both the sick and the healthy; no one is allowed to send his declaration of £4anda! (and to stay away). When you have assembled, let a learned, competent Bhikkhu proclaim the following #atti before the Samgha: “Let the Samgha, reverend Sirs, hear me. As regards that matter which gave origin to altercations among the Samgha, to contentions, discord, quarrels, divisions among the Samgha, to disunion among the Samgha, to separations among the Samgha, to schisms among the Samgha,—that Bhikkhu (concerned in that matter), having committed an offence, and having been sentenced to expulsion, has seen (his offence) and has been restored.

The Samgha is in favour (of this declaration); therefore you are silent; thus I understand.” Then let the Samgha hold Uposatha and proclaim the Patimokkha.’ 6. 1. And the venerable Up4li! went to the place where the Blessed One was. Having approached him and respectfully saluted the Blessed One, he sat down near him. Sitting near him the venerable Upali said to the Blessed One: ‘ Lord, if the Samgha, regarding a matter which has given origin to altercations (&c., down to :) to schisms among the Samgha, declares the re-establishment of concord, without having inquired into that matter and without having got to the bottom of it, is this declaration, Lord, lawful ?’ ‘If the Samgha, Upali, regarding a matter (&c., down to :) declares the re-establishment of concord, without having inquired into that matter and without having got to the bottom of it,—this declaration, Upali, is unlawful.’ ‘ But if the Samgha, Lord, regarding a matter (&c., down to:) declares the re-establishment of concord, after having inquired into that matter and after having got to the bottom of it,—is this declaration, Lord, lawful ?’ ‘If the Samgha, Upali, (&c., down to:) declares the re-establishment of concord, after having inquired 1 See the note at IX, 6,1. X, 6, 3. SCHISMS AMONG THE SAMGHA. 323 into that matter and after having got to the bottom of it,—this declaration, U p4li, is lawful.’ 2. ‘How many kinds are there, Lord, of the reestablishment of concord among a S4mgha ?’ ‘There are the following two kinds, Upali, of re-establishment of concord among a Samgha: Concord may be re-established, Up§li, in the letter, but not in the spirit, and concord may be re-established both in the spirit and in the letter. ‘And in what case, U pili, is concord re-established in the letter, but not in the spirit? If the Samgha, Upali, (&c., as above) declares the re-establishment of concord, without having inquired into that matter and without having got to. the bottom of it,—in this case, Updli, concord is said to have been re-established in the letter, but not in the spirit. ‘And in what case, U pli, is concord re-established both in the spirit and in the letter?

These, Upali, are the two kinds of re-establishment of concord among a Samgha.’
