Theravāda Vinaya — Mahāvibhaṅga — Pārājikakaṇḍa

And how is there a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced?

It may be that a monk is dissatisfied, discontent, desiring to give up the monastic life;

troubled, ashamed, and disgusted with the monkhood;

longing to be a householder …

longing to be a non-monastic, and he says and declares:

‘I renounce the Buddha.’

In this way, monks, there’s a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced.

Or again, dissatisfied, discontent, desiring to give up the monastic life;

troubled, ashamed, and disgusted with the monkhood;

longing to be a householder …

longing to be a non-monastic,

he says and declares: ‘I renounce the Teaching.’ …

‘I renounce the Sangha.’ …

‘I renounce the practice.’ …

‘I renounce the training.’ …

‘I renounce the Monastic Code.’ …

‘I renounce the recitation.’ …

‘I renounce my preceptor.’ …

‘I renounce my teacher.’ …

‘I renounce my student.’ …

‘I renounce my pupil.’ …

‘I renounce my co-student.’ …

‘I renounce my co-pupil.’ …

‘I renounce my fellow monastics.’ …

‘Consider me a householder.’ …

‘Consider me a lay follower.’ …

‘Consider me a monastery worker.’ …

‘Consider me a novice monk.’ …

‘Consider me a monastic of another religion.’ …

‘Consider me a lay follower of another religion.’ …

‘Consider me a non-ascetic.’ …

‘Consider me a non-monastic.’

In this way too, monks, there’s a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced.

Or again, dissatisfied, discontent, desiring to give up the monastic life;

troubled, ashamed, and disgusted with the monkhood;

longing to be a householder …

longing to be a non-monastic,

he says and declares: ‘I’m done with the Buddha.’ …

‘I’m done with my fellow monastics.’

In this way too, monks, there’s a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced.

Or again … he says and declares: ‘No more of the Buddha for me.’ … ‘No more of my fellow monastics for me.’ … ‘The Buddha is of no use to me.’ … ‘My fellow monastics are of no use to me.’ … ‘I’m well freed from the Buddha.’ …

‘I’m well freed from my fellow monastics.’

In this way too, monks, there’s a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced.

Or whatever other synonyms there are for the Buddha, for the Teaching, for the Sangha, for the practice, for the training, for the Monastic Code, for the recitation, for a preceptor, for a teacher, for a student, for a pupil, for a co-student, for a co-pupil, for a fellow monastic, for a householder, for a lay follower, for a monastery worker, for a novice monk, for a monastic of another religion, for a lay follower of another religion, for a non-ascetic, or for a non-monastic—

he speaks and declares by way of these indications, by way of these marks, by way of these signs.

In this way, monks, there’s a revealing of weakness together with the training being renounced.

And how is the training not renounced?

If you renounce the training by way of these indications, by way of these marks, by way of these signs, but you’re insane, then the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training to one who’s insane, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training when you’re deranged, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training to one who’s deranged, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training when you’re overwhelmed by pain, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training to one who’s overwhelmed by pain, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training to a god, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training to an animal, the training isn’t renounced.

If an Indo-Aryan renounces the training to a non-Indo-Aryan who doesn’t understand, the training isn’t renounced.

If a non-Indo-Aryan renounces the training to an Indo-Aryan who doesn’t understand, the training isn’t renounced.

If an Indo-Aryan renounces the training to an Indo-Aryan who doesn’t understand, the training isn’t renounced.

If a non-Indo-Aryan renounces the training to a non-Indo-Aryan who doesn’t understand, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training as a joke, the training isn’t renounced.

If you renounce the training because of speaking too fast, the training isn’t renounced.

If you announce what you don’t wish to announce, the training isn’t renounced.

If you don’t announce what you wish to announce, the training isn’t renounced.

If you announce to one who doesn’t understand, the training isn’t renounced.

If you don’t announce to one who understands, the training isn’t renounced.

Or if you don’t make a full announcement, the training isn’t renounced.

In this way, monks, the training isn’t renounced.”

Sexual intercourse:

what is contrary to the true Teaching, the common practice, the low practice, the coarse practice, that which ends with a wash, that which is done in private, that which is done wherever there are couples—this is called “sexual intercourse”.

Has:

whoever makes an organ enter an organ, a genital enter a genital, even to the depth of a sesame seed—this is called “has”.

Even with a female animal:

even having had sexual intercourse with a female animal, he is not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic, let alone with a woman—therefore it is called “even with a female animal”.

He is expelled:

just as a man with his head cut off is unable to continue living by reconnecting it to the body, so too is a monk who has had sexual intercourse not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic. Therefore it is said, “he is expelled.”

Excluded from the community:

Community: joint legal procedures, a joint recitation, the same training—this is called “community”.

He does not take part in this—therefore it is called “excluded from the community”.
