CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)
THIRD KHANDHAKA (PROBATION AND PENANCE - CONTINUED)
Chapter-22 : Longer Concealment , Longer Probation
1. Now at that time a certain Bhikkhu had committed two Sanghadisesa offences which he had concealed for two months. And it occurred to him, 'Lo! I have committed two Sanghadisesa offences which I have concealed for two months. Let me now ask the Sangha for a probation of two months for one offence concealed for two months.' And he asked the Sangha for a probation of two months for one offence concealed for two months. And the Sangha imposed upon him a probation (&c., as before, down to) for two months. While he was undergoing that probation, shame overcame him in that he thought, 'I have committed, &c. . . . And it occurred to me, &c. . . . And I asked, &c. . . . And the Sangha imposed . . . . And while I was undergoing . . . . (&c., as before, down to) for two months.'
'Let me now ask the Sangha for a probation of two months for the other offence concealed for two months.'
2. He told the Bhikkhus [all that had happened]. They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.
3. 'Let then the Sangha, O Bhikkhus, impose upon that Bhikkhu a probation of two months for that other offence concealed for two months.'
[Here follows the kammavaka as before.]
'Then that Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, should undergo probation for two months from that date.'
