If, intending to give the full admission, she searches for a group, a teacher, a bowl, or a robe, or she establishes a monastery zone, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. After the motion, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. After each of the first two announcements, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. When the last announcement is finished, the preceptor commits an offense entailing confession, and the group and the teacher commit an offense of wrong conduct.

Non-offenses There is no offense: if she gives her the full admission without knowing what she is like; if she is insane; if she is the first offender. The ninth training rule is finished.

Origin story At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the nun Thullanandā gave the full admission to a trainee nun who had neither been given permission by her parents nor by her husband. They complained and criticized her, “How could Venerable Thullanandā give the full admission to that trainee nun without our permission?”
