Cullavagga - First Khandhaka: Chapter 20

1. 'There are five things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a Bhikkhu,
the Samgha, if it likes, should carry out the Patisâraniya-kamma against him;
(that is to say), when he goes about to bring
p. 366
loss on the laity--when he goes about to do harm to the laity--when he goes
about to deprive the laity of their dwellings--when he reviles and finds fault
with the laity--when he brings about division between the laity. These are the
five things, O Bhikkhus, which (&c., as above, down to) against him.
'There are other five things, O Bhikkhus, which when they characterise a
Bhikkhu, the Samgha, if it likes, should carry out the Patisâraniya-kamma
against him; (that is to say), when he speaks to the laity in dispraise of the
Buddha--when he speaks to the laity in dispraise of the Dhamma--when he speaks
to the laity in dispraise of the Samgha--when he puts laymen down, and lowers
them by censure--when he does not fulfil a promise made in accordance with the
Rules to the laity. These are the other five things, O Bhikkhus, which (&c., as
before, down to) against him.
'There are five kinds of Bhikkhus, O Bhikkhus, against whom the Samgha, if it
likes, should carry out the Patisâraniya-kamma; (that is to say), one who goes
about to bring loss on the laity (&c., as in the last paragraph, down to the
end).'
