Cullavagga - First Khandhaka: Chapter 28

1. So the Samgha carried out against Khanna the Bhikkhu the Ukkhepaniya-kamma
for not acknowledging a fault to the effect that he should not at or dwell
together with the Samgha. And after he had been subjected by the Samgha to the
Ukkhepaniya-kamma for not acknowledging his fault he went from that residence to
another residence. And the Bhikkhus there did no reverence to him, rose not from
their seats to welcome him, rendered him not service, offered him not
salutation, paid not respect to him, offered him not hospitality, nor esteemed
him, nor honoured him, nor supported him. And when he received from the Bhikkhus
neither hospitality, nor welcome, nor esteem, nor honour, nor
p. 375
support, he went from that residence to another residence. And the Bhikkhus
there did no reverence to him, rose not from their seats to welcome him,
rendered him not service (&c., as before, down to:) he went from that residence
to another residence. And when he received no hospitality he returned back again
even to Kosambî. Then he conducted himself aright, and he became subdued, and he
sought for release, and going up to the Bhikkhus he spake as follows: 'I, Sirs,
having been subjected by the Samgha to the Ukkhepaniyakamma am conducting myself
aright in accordance thereto, and I am become subdued, and I seek for release.
What now should I do?'
They told this thing to the Blessed One.
'Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Samgha revoke the Ukkhepaniya-kamma for not
acknowledging his fault carried out against Khanna the Bhikkhu.
2. 'There are five things, O Bhikkhus, [&c., the rest of this section bearing
the same relation to the last, which chapter 6, § 2, does to chapter 5.]'
Here end the forty-three cases [in which an Ukkhepaniya-kamma for not
acknowledging a fault is not to be revoked].
