The chapter on the cancellation of the Monastic Code 19. PÄtimokkhaį¹į¹hapanakkhandhaka
1. The request for the recitation of the Monastic Code 1. PÄtimokkhuddesayÄcana
At one time on the observance day, when the Buddha was staying at SÄvatthÄ« in the Eastern Monastery, in MigÄramÄtaās stilt house, Tena samayena buddho bhagavÄ sÄvatthiyaį¹ viharati pubbÄrÄme migÄramÄtu pÄsÄde. he was seated surrounded by the Sangha of monks. Tena kho pana samayena bhagavÄ tadahuposathe bhikkhusaį¹ ghaparivuto nisinno hoti. Then, when the night was well advanced and the first part of the night was over, Venerable Änanda got up from his seat, arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, raise his joined palms, and said to the Buddha, Atha kho ÄyasmÄ Änando abhikkantÄya rattiyÄ nikkhante paį¹hame yÄme uį¹į¹hÄyÄsanÄ ekaį¹saį¹ uttarÄsaį¹ gaį¹ karitvÄ yena bhagavÄ tenaƱjaliį¹ paį¹ÄmetvÄ bhagavantaį¹ etadavocaāāSir, the night is well advanced and the first part of the night is over. The Sangha of monks has been seated for a long time. āabhikkantÄ, bhante, ratti, nikkhanto paį¹hamo yÄmo, ciranisinno bhikkhusaį¹ gho. Please recite the Monastic Code.ā Uddisatu, bhante, bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ«naį¹ pÄtimokkhanāti. The Buddha did not reply. Evaį¹ vutte, bhagavÄ tuį¹hÄ« ahosi.
At the end of the middle part of the night, Venerable Änanda asked a second time, Dutiyampi kho ÄyasmÄ Änando abhikkantÄya rattiyÄ nikkhante majjhime yÄme uį¹į¹hÄyÄsanÄ ekaį¹saį¹ uttarÄsaį¹ gaį¹ karitvÄ yena bhagavÄ tenaƱjaliį¹ paį¹ÄmetvÄ bhagavantaį¹ etadavocaāāabhikkantÄ, bhante, ratti, nikkhanto majjhimo yÄmo, ciranisinno bhikkhusaį¹ gho. Uddisatu, bhante, bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ«naį¹ pÄtimokkhanāti. and again received no reply. Dutiyampi kho bhagavÄ tuį¹hÄ« ahosi. At the end of the last part of the night, when the sky was flaring up at dawn, he asked a third time. Tatiyampi kho ÄyasmÄ Änando abhikkantÄya rattiyÄ nikkhante pacchime yÄme uddhaste aruį¹e nandimukhiyÄ rattiyÄ uį¹į¹hÄyÄsanÄ ekaį¹saį¹ uttarÄsaį¹ gaį¹ karitvÄ yena bhagavÄ tenaƱjaliį¹ paį¹ÄmetvÄ bhagavantaį¹ etadavocaāāabhikkantÄ, bhante, ratti, nikkhanto pacchimo yÄmo, uddhastaį¹ aruį¹aį¹ nandimukhi ratti, ciranisinno bhikkhusaį¹ gho. Uddisatu, bhante, bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ«naį¹ pÄtimokkhanāti. And the Buddha replied, āÄnanda, the gathering is impure.ā āAparisuddhÄ, Änanda, parisÄāti.
Venerable MahÄmoggallÄna thought, Atha kho Äyasmato mahÄmoggallÄnassa etadahosiāāWho is the Buddha talking about?ā ākaį¹ nu kho bhagavÄ puggalaį¹ sandhÄya evamÄhaāāaparisuddhÄ, Änanda, parisÄāāti? Reading the minds of the the entire Sangha of monks, Atha kho ÄyasmÄ mahÄmoggallÄno sabbÄvantaį¹ bhikkhusaį¹ ghaį¹ cetasÄ ceto paricca manasÄkÄsi. he saw that personāimmoral, with bad qualities, impure and dubious in conduct, hiding his actions, not a monastic while claiming to be one, not abstaining from sexuality while claiming to do so, rotten inside, lustful, defiledāseated in the midst of the Sangha. AddasÄ kho ÄyasmÄ mahÄmoggallÄno taį¹ puggalaį¹ dussÄ«laį¹ pÄpadhammaį¹ asucisaį¹ kassarasamÄcÄraį¹ paį¹icchannakammantaį¹ assamaį¹aį¹ samaį¹apaį¹iƱƱaį¹ abrahmacÄriį¹ brahmacÄripaį¹iƱƱaį¹ antopÅ«tiį¹ avassutaį¹ kasambujÄtaį¹ majjhe bhikkhusaį¹ ghassa nisinnaį¹. He went up to him and said, DisvÄna yena so puggalo tenupasaį¹ kami, upasaį¹ kamitvÄ taį¹ puggalaį¹ etadavocaāāGet up, the Buddha has seen you. āuį¹į¹hehi, Ävuso, diį¹į¹hosi bhagavatÄ; You donāt belong with the community of monks.ā natthi te bhikkhÅ«hi saddhiį¹ saį¹vÄsoāti. But he did not reply. Evaį¹ vutte, so puggalo tuį¹hÄ« ahosi.
MahÄmoggallÄna said the same thing a second Dutiyampi kho ÄyasmÄ mahÄmoggallÄno taį¹ puggalaį¹ etadavocaāāuį¹į¹hehi, Ävuso, diį¹į¹hosi bhagavatÄ; natthi te bhikkhÅ«hi saddhiį¹ saį¹vÄsoāti. Dutiyampi kho so puggalo tuį¹hÄ« ahosi. and a third time, Tatiyampi kho ÄyasmÄ mahÄmoggallÄno taį¹ puggalaį¹ etadavocaāāuį¹į¹hehi, Ävuso, diį¹į¹hosi bhagavatÄ; natthi te bhikkhÅ«hi saddhiį¹ saį¹vÄsoāti. still not getting a reply. Tatiyampi kho so puggalo tuį¹hÄ« ahosi. MahÄmoggallÄna then grabbed him by the arms, took him outside the gatehouse, and fastened the bolt and the latch. He then went to the Buddha and said, Atha kho ÄyasmÄ mahÄmoggallÄno taį¹ puggalaį¹ bÄhÄyaį¹ gahetvÄ bahidvÄrakoį¹į¹hakÄ nikkhÄmetvÄ sÅ«cighaį¹ikaį¹ datvÄ yena bhagavÄ tenupasaį¹ kami, upasaį¹ kamitvÄ bhagavantaį¹ etadavocaāāSir, Iāve taken that person outside; ānikkhÄmito so, bhante, puggalo mayÄ; the gathering is pure. suddhÄ parisÄ; Please recite the Monastic Code to the monks.ā uddisatu, bhante, bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ«naį¹ pÄtimokkhanāti.
āItās amazing, MoggallÄna, how that fool waited until he was grabbed by the arms.ā āAcchariyaį¹, moggallÄna, abbhutaį¹, moggallÄna, yÄva bÄhÄgahaį¹Äpi nÄma so moghapuriso ÄgamessatÄ«āti. And the Buddha addressed the monks: Atha kho bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ« Ämantesiā
2. The eight amazing qualities of the ocean 2. MahÄsamuddeaį¹į¹hacchariya
āMonks, the antigods delight in the ocean because they see eight amazing qualities in it: āAį¹į¹hime, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde acchariyÄ abbhutÄ dhammÄ, ye disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanti. Katame aį¹į¹ha?
The ocean slopes and inclines gradually. It doesnāt drop off all at once. MahÄsamuddo, bhikkhave, anupubbaninno anupubbapoį¹o anupubbapabbhÄro na Äyatakeneva papÄto. Yampi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo anupubbaninno anupubbapoį¹o anupubbapabbhÄro na Äyatakeneva papÄtoāayaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde paį¹hamo acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanti.
The ocean is steady. It doesnāt go beyond the shoreline. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo į¹hitadhammo velaį¹ nÄtivattati.

The ocean doesnāt tolerate dead bodies, but quickly carries them to the shore and dumps them on dry land. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo na matena kuį¹apena saį¹vasati. Yaį¹ hoti mahÄsamudde mataį¹ kuį¹apaį¹, taį¹ khippaƱƱeva tÄ«raį¹ vÄheti, thalaį¹ ussÄreti.

When the great riversāthe Ganges, the YamunÄ, the AciravatÄ«, the SarabhÅ«, or the MahÄ«āreach the ocean, they lose their former names and become known simply as the ocean. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, yÄ kÄci mahÄnadiyo, seyyathidaį¹āgaį¹ gÄ, yamunÄ, aciravatÄ«, sarabhÅ«, mahÄ«, tÄ mahÄsamuddaį¹ pattÄ jahanti purimÄni nÄmagottÄni, mahÄsamuddotveva saį¹ khaį¹ gacchanti.

Whatever rivers in the world flow into the ocean and whatever rain falls into it, the ocean isnāt diminished or filled up because of that. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, yÄ ca loke savantiyo mahÄsamuddaį¹ appenti, yÄ ca antalikkhÄ dhÄrÄ papatanti, na tena mahÄsamuddassa Å«nattaį¹ vÄ pÅ«rattaį¹ vÄ paƱƱÄyati.

The ocean has only one taste, the taste of salt. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo ekaraso loį¹araso. Yampi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo ekaraso loį¹arasoāayaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde chaį¹į¹ho acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanti.
The ocean contains many precious thingsāpearls, gems, beryls, mother-of-pearls, quartz, corals, silver, gold, rubies, and catās eyes. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo bahuratano anekaratano. TatrimÄni ratanÄni, seyyathidaį¹āmuttÄ, maį¹i, veįø·uriyo, saį¹ kho, silÄ, pavÄįø·aį¹, rajataį¹, jÄtarÅ«paį¹, lohitako, masÄragallaį¹. Yampi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo bahuratano anekaratano, tatrimÄni ratanÄni, seyyathidaį¹āmuttÄ, maį¹i, veįø·uriyo, saį¹ kho, silÄ, pavÄįø·aį¹, rajataį¹, jÄtarÅ«paį¹, lohitako, masÄragallaį¹āayaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde sattamo acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanti.
There are great beings in the oceanāsea monsters, antigods, dragons, and fairies; creatures with bodies one thousand kilometers long, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, and five thousand kilometers long. Puna caparaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo mahataį¹ bhÅ«tÄnaį¹ ÄvÄso. Tatrime bhÅ«tÄātimi, timiį¹ galo, timitimiį¹ galo, asurÄ, nÄgÄ, gandhabbÄ.

Yampi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo mahataį¹ bhÅ«tÄnaį¹ ÄvÄso, tatrime bhÅ«tÄātimi, timiį¹ galo, timitimiį¹ galo, asurÄ, nÄgÄ, gandhabbÄ; santi mahÄsamudde, yojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ ā¦peā¦ paƱcayojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄāayaį¹, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde aį¹į¹hamo acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, mahÄsamudde aį¹į¹ha acchariyÄ abbhutÄ dhammÄ, ye disvÄ disvÄ asurÄ mahÄsamudde abhiramanāti.
3. The eight amazing qualities of this spiritual path 3. Imasmiį¹dhammavinayeaį¹į¹hacchariya
āJust so, the monks delight in this spiritual path because they see eight amazing qualities in it: Evameva kho, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye aį¹į¹ha acchariyÄ abbhutÄ dhammÄ, ye disvÄ disvÄ bhikkhÅ« imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye abhiramanti. Katame aį¹į¹ha?
Just as the ocean slopes and inclines gradually, and doesnāt drop off all at once, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo anupubbaninno anupubbapoį¹o anupubbapabbhÄro na Äyatakeneva papÄto; so too, on this spiritual path, the training is gradual, the practice is gradual, and penetration to perfect insight doesnāt happen all at once. evameva kho, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye anupubbasikkhÄ anupubbakiriyÄ anupubbapaį¹ipadÄ na Äyatakeneva aƱƱÄpaį¹ivedho. Yampi, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye anupubbasikkhÄ anupubbakiriyÄ anupubbapaį¹ipadÄ na Äyatakeneva aƱƱÄpaį¹ivedhoāayaį¹, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye paį¹hamo acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ bhikkhÅ« imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye abhiramanti.
Just as the ocean is steady and doesnāt go beyond the shoreline, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo į¹hitadhammo velaį¹ nÄtivattati; so too, on this spiritual path, my disciples donāt transgress the training rules Iāve laid down, even for the sake of life. evameva kho, bhikkhave, yaį¹ mayÄ mama sÄvakÄnaį¹ sikkhÄpadaį¹ paƱƱattaį¹, taį¹ mama sÄvakÄ jÄ«vitahetupi nÄtikkamanti. Yampi, bhikkhave, mayÄ mama sÄvakÄnaį¹ sikkhÄpadaį¹ paƱƱattaį¹, taį¹ mama sÄvakÄ jÄ«vitahetupi nÄtikkamantiāayaį¹, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye dutiyo acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ bhikkhÅ« imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye abhiramanti.
Just as the ocean doesnāt tolerate dead bodies, but quickly carries them to the shore and dumps them on dry land, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo na matena kuį¹apena saį¹vasati, yaį¹ hoti mahÄsamudde mataį¹ kuį¹apaį¹ taį¹ khippameva tÄ«raį¹ vÄheti, thalaį¹ ussÄreti; so too, the Sangha of monks doesnāt associate with anyone who is immoralāsomeone with bad qualities, impure and dubious in conduct, hiding his actions, not a monastic while claiming to be one, not abstaining from sexuality while claiming to do so, rotten inside, lustful, defiled. When the Sangha has gathered, they quickly eject him. Even if seated in the midst of the Sangha, heās far from the Sangha and the Sangha is far from him. evameva kho, bhikkhave, yo so puggalo dussÄ«lo pÄpadhammo asucisaį¹ kassarasamÄcÄro paį¹icchannakammanto assamaį¹o samaį¹apaį¹iƱƱo abrahmacÄrÄ« brahmacÄripaį¹iƱƱo antopÅ«ti avassuto kasambujÄto, na tena saį¹ gho saį¹vasati, khippameva naį¹ sannipatitvÄ ukkhipati, kiƱcÄpi kho so hoti majjhe bhikkhusaį¹ ghassa nisinno.

Just as when the great riversāthe Ganges, the YamunÄ, the AciravatÄ«, the SarabhÅ«, or the MahÄ«āreach the ocean, they lose their former names and become known simply as the ocean, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, yÄ kÄci mahÄnadiyo, seyyathidaį¹āgaį¹ gÄ, yamunÄ, aciravatÄ«, sarabhÅ«, mahÄ«, tÄ mahÄsamuddaį¹ pattÄ jahanti purimÄni nÄmagottÄni, mahÄsamuddotveva saį¹ khaį¹ gacchanti; so too, when anyone goes forth on this spiritual path proclaimed by the Buddhaāwhether an aristocrat, brahmin, merchant, or workerāthey lose their former name and class and become known simply as a Sakyan monastic. evameva kho, bhikkhave, cattÄrome vaį¹į¹ÄākhattiyÄ, brÄhmaį¹Ä, vessÄ, suddÄ. Te tathÄgatappavedite dhammavinaye agÄrasmÄ anagÄriyaį¹ pabbajitvÄ jahanti purimÄni nÄmagottÄni, samaį¹Ä sakyaputtiyÄtveva saį¹ khaį¹ gacchanti.

Just as the ocean doesnāt decrease or fill up because of all the rivers in the world that flow into it or the rain that falls into it, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, yÄ ca loke savantiyo mahÄsamuddaį¹ appenti, yÄ ca antalikkhÄ dhÄrÄ papatanti, na tena mahÄsamuddassa Å«nattaį¹ vÄ pÅ«rattaį¹ vÄ paƱƱÄyati; so too, even if many monks are extinguished without remainder, thereās no decrease or filling up of the element of extinguishment. evameva kho, bhikkhave, bahÅ« cepi bhikkhÅ« anupÄdisesÄya nibbÄnadhÄtuyÄ parinibbÄyanti, na tena nibbÄnadhÄtuyÄ Å«nattaį¹ vÄ pÅ«rattaį¹ vÄ paƱƱÄyati.

Just as the ocean has only one taste, the taste of salt, SeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo ekaraso loį¹araso; so too, this spiritual path has only one taste, the taste of freedom. evameva kho, bhikkhave, ayaį¹ dhammavinayo ekaraso vimuttiraso. Yampi, bhikkhave, ayaį¹ dhammavinayo ekaraso vimuttirasoāayaį¹, bhikkhave, imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye chaį¹į¹ho acchariyo abbhuto dhammo, yaį¹ disvÄ disvÄ bhikkhÅ« imasmiį¹ dhammavinaye abhiramanti.
Just as the ocean contains many precious thingsāpearls, gems, beryls, mother-of-pearls, quartz, corals, silver, gold, rubies, and catās eyesāSeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo bahuratano anekaratano, tatrimÄni ratanÄni, seyyathidaį¹āmuttÄ, maį¹i, veįø·uriyo, saį¹ kho, silÄ, pavÄįø·aį¹, rajataį¹, jÄtarÅ«paį¹, lohitako, masÄragallaį¹; so too, this spiritual path contains many precious thingsāthe four applications of mindfulness, the four right efforts, the four foundations for supernormal power, the five spiritual faculties, the five spiritual powers, the seven factors of awakening, and the noble eightfold path. evameva kho, bhikkhave, ayaį¹ dhammavinayo bahuratano anekaratano. TatrimÄni ratanÄni, seyyathidaį¹ācattÄro satipaį¹į¹hÄnÄ, cattÄro sammappadhÄnÄ, cattÄro iddhipÄdÄ, paƱcindriyÄni, paƱca balÄni, satta bojjhaį¹ gÄ, ariyo aį¹į¹haį¹ giko maggo.

Just as there are great beings in the oceanāsea monsters, antigods, dragons, and fairies; creatures with bodies one thousand kilometers long, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, and five thousand kilometers longāSeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, mahÄsamuddo mahataį¹ bhÅ«tÄnaį¹ ÄvÄso, tatrime bhÅ«tÄātimi, timiį¹ galo, timitimiį¹ galo, asurÄ, nÄgÄ, gandhabbÄ, santi mahÄsamudde yojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ, dviyojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ, tiyojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ, catuyojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ, paƱcayojanasatikÄpi attabhÄvÄ; so too, there are great beings on this spiritual pathāstream-enterers, those practicing for the realization of the fruit of stream-entry; once-returners, those practicing for the realization of the fruit of once-returning; non-returners, those practicing for the realization of the fruit of non-returning; perfected ones, and those practicing for the realization of the fruit of perfection.ā evameva kho, bhikkhave, ayaį¹ dhammavinayo mahataį¹ bhÅ«tÄnaį¹ ÄvÄso.

Seeing the significance of this, on that occasion the Buddha uttered a heartfelt exclamation: Atha kho bhagavÄ etamatthaį¹ viditvÄ tÄyaį¹ velÄyaį¹ imaį¹ udÄnaį¹ udÄnesiā
āIt rains on whatās concealed, āChannamativassati, Not on whatās revealed. vivaį¹aį¹ nÄtivassati; Therefore, reveal the concealed, TasmÄ channaį¹ vivaretha, And it wonāt be rained upon.ā evaį¹ taį¹ nÄtivassatÄ«āti.
4. One deserving to hear the Monastic Code 4. PÄtimokkhasavanÄraha
The Buddha addressed the monks: Atha kho bhagavÄ bhikkhÅ« ÄmantesiāāFrom now on, monks, I wonāt be doing the observance-day ceremony or recite the Monastic Code. ānadÄnÄhaį¹, bhikkhave, ito paraį¹ uposathaį¹ karissÄmi, pÄtimokkhaį¹ uddisissÄmi. You should do it instead. TumhevadÄni, bhikkhave, ito paraį¹ uposathaį¹ kareyyÄtha, pÄtimokkhaį¹ uddiseyyÄtha. Itās impossible for the Buddha to do the observance-day ceremony and recite the Monastic Code in an impure gathering. Aį¹į¹hÄnametaį¹, bhikkhave, anavakÄso yaį¹ tathÄgato aparisuddhÄya parisÄya uposathaį¹ kareyya, pÄtimokkhaį¹ uddiseyya.
And, monks, you shouldnāt listen to the Monastic Code if you have an unconfessed offense. Na ca, bhikkhave, sÄpattikena pÄtimokkhaį¹ sotabbaį¹. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct. Yo suį¹eyya, Äpatti dukkaį¹assa.
If anyone who has an unconfessed offense listens to the Monastic Code, I allow you to cancel his hearing of the Monastic Code. AnujÄnÄmi, bhikkhave, yo sÄpattiko pÄtimokkhaį¹ suį¹Äti, tassa pÄtimokkhaį¹ į¹hapetuį¹.
And it should be done like this. EvaƱca pana, bhikkhave, į¹hapetabbaį¹. On the observance day, whether the fourteenth or the fifteenth, in the midst of the Sangha and in the presence of that person, you should announce: Tadahuposathe cÄtuddase vÄ pannarase vÄ tasmiį¹ puggale sammukhÄ«bhÅ«te saį¹ ghamajjhe udÄharitabbaį¹ā
āPlease, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. āSuį¹Ätu me, bhante, saį¹ gho. The person so-and-so has an unconfessed offense. I cancel his hearing of the Monastic Code. The Monastic Code shouldnāt be recited in his presence.ā Then his hearing of the Monastic Code is canceled.ā ItthannÄmo puggalo sÄpattiko, tassa pÄtimokkhaį¹ į¹hapemi, na tasmiį¹ sammukhÄ«bhÅ«te pÄtimokkhaį¹ uddisitabbanāti į¹hapitaį¹ hoti pÄtimokkhanāti.
