Cullavagga - First Khandhaka: Chapter 14

1. [Here follow the twelve cases in which a Pabbâganiya-kamma is declared to be
against
p. 355
the law, and according to law respectively, in the precise wording of chapters 2
and 3, reading Pabbâganiya for Tagganiya. Then follow the six cases of
permissive suspension in the precise wording of chapter 4, but in addition to
the cases there given for the Tagganiya-kamma, §§ 1 and 2 of this chapter are
respectively added at the end of §§ 1 and 2 of that chapter.]
1. 'There are three things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a Bhikkhu,
the Samgha, if it likes, should carry out the Pabbâganiyakamma against him;
(that is to say), when he is characterised by frivolity 1 of action--when he is
characterised by frivolity of speech--when he is characterised by frivolity both
of action and of speech. These are the three things, O Bhikkhus (&c., as before,
down to) against him.
'There are other three things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a
Bhikkhu, the Samgha, if it likes, should carry out the Pabbâganiyakamma against
him; (that is to say), when he is characterised by absence of right-doing in
action--when he is characterised by absence of right-doing in speech--when he is
characterised by absence of right-doing both in action and in speech. These are
the other three things, O Bhikkhus (&c., as before, down to) against him.
'There are other three things (&c., as in each of the last paragraphs; the three
things here being injury 2 done by him to others in action, in speech, and both
in action and in speech, owing to his own
p. 356
want of training in the precepts and practices of the order).
'There are other three things (&c., as in each of the last paragraphs, the three
things here being evilness of life in action, in speech, and both in action and
in speech).
2. 'There are three kinds of Bhikkhus, O Bhikkhus, against whom, when the Samgha
likes (to do so), it should carry out the Pabbâganiyakamma; (that is to say),
one who is frivolous in action--one who is frivolous in speech--one who is
frivolous both in action and in speech. These are the three kinds of Bhikkhus
(&c., as above, down to) the Pabbâganiya-kamma.
There are other three kinds of Bhikkhus (&c., as in the last paragraph,
substituting first, absence of right-doing--secondly, injury to others--and
thirdly, evilness of life respectively in action, in speech, and both in action
and in speech).'
