28: The 10th Rains Retreat (Pāḷileyyaka) – 980
through mental concentration (
samādhi-pahāna
), abandoning by cutting
off (
samuccheda-pahāna
), abandoning
through being peaceful
(
paṭippassaddhi-pahāna
), and abandoning
through attainment of Nibbāna
(
nissaraṇa-pahāna
), and reflection so that there can be no lust, hate and
delusion.
These aggregates of elimination, restraint, abandoning and reflection,
form discipline; or, in reverse form, the aggregates of non-elimination,
non-restraint, non-abandoning, and non-reflection on lust, etc. form what
is not discipline.
In terms of Vinaya, completeness of the five factors: candidate (
vatthu
),
boundary hall (
sīma
), assembly (
parisā
), announcement (
ñatti
), and formal
text (
kamma-vācā
) is discipline; incompleteness or defectiveness of these
five is not discipline.
By way of the discourses, the four foundations of mindfulness, the four
right efforts, the four bases of psychic powers, the five faculties, and the
eight constituents of the path, these doctrinal aggregates are what the
Buddha teaches; never does the Buddha teach that there are three
foundations of mindfulness, three right efforts, three bases of psychic
powers, six faculties, six psychic powers, eight factors of Awakening, and
nine constituents of the path.
In terms of Vinaya, there are four expulsion (
pārājika
)
215
rules, thirteen
rules needing a meeting of the Saṅgha (
Saṅghādisesa
),
216
two undeclared
(
aniyata
)
217
rules, 30 forteiture and confession (
nissaggiya-pācittiya
)
218
215
Expulsion (
Pārājika
): Any transgressor of these rules is defeated in his purpose in
being a monastic. The four offences of this kind are: l) Indulgence in sexual
intercourse; 2) taking with intention to steal what is not given; 3) intentional
deprivation of a human life; and 4) making claim to attainments which he does not
really possess.
216
The rules needing a meeting of the Saṅgha
(
Saṅghādisesa
): An offence of this kind
entails a formal meeting of the Saṅgha to decide the case, and the action to be taken
against the offender of the rule. The first of these offences is intentional emission of
semen.
217
Undeclared (
Aniyata
): The nature of such offence is to be determined whether it is
Expulsion (
Pārājika
), Requiring a meeting of the Saṅgha (
Saṅghādisesa
) or a
confession (
pācittiya
) offence, as in the case of a monk who sits in a place secluded,
unseen and convenient for an immoral purpose. The other case is when he does so in a
