Vipattipaccayavāra

Vinayapiṭaka · Parivāra · Vol. 8 · Section 875

[875] Owing to failure of conduct (ācāravipatti), how many offenses (āpatti) does one commit? Owing to failure of conduct, one commits one offense: one who conceals a failure of conduct commits an offense of wrong-doing (dukkaṭa). Owing to failure of conduct, one commits this one offense. That offense—among the four failures (vipatti), how many failures does it belong to? … Among the seven settlements (samatha), by how many settlements is it settled? That offense belongs to one of the four failures: the failure of conduct. It is included in one of the seven classes of offenses (āpattikkhandha): the class of offenses of wrong-doing. Among the six originations of offenses (samuṭṭhāna), it arises through one origination: it arises from body, from speech, and from mind (citta). Among the four legal issues (adhikaraṇa), it is a legal issue concerning an offense (āpattādhikaraṇa). Among the seven settlements, it is settled by three settlements: it may be by resolution in the presence (sammukhāvinaya) together with acting upon acknowledgment (paṭiññātakaraṇa), or it may be by resolution in the presence together with covering over as with grass (tiṇavatthāraka).
