Ārāmavaggasikkhābada

Vinayapiṭaka · Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga · Vol. 3 · Section 356

[356] "**Whatever**" means: whoever, of whatever sort … "**Bhikkhunī**" means: … ¹ this is the bhikkhunī intended here in this sense. "**Exhortation (ovāda)**" means: the eight weighty rules (garudhammā). "**Communion (saṃvāsa)**" means: a single formal act (kamma), a single recitation (uddesa), the state of having the same training. At the mere laying down of the responsibility, [thinking,] "I will not go for the exhortation or for communion," there is an offense of pācittiya. **Non-offenses** --- ¹ The Yu. and M. editions read *yaṃ hi*.
