Every year: every twelve-month period. Gives full admission: gives full ordination. 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 full admission every other year; if she is insane; if she is the first offender. The twelfth 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 nuns were giving the full admission to two women in the same year, and the nunnery still did not have sufficient capacity. People complained and criticized them, “How can the nuns give the full admission to two women in the same year, when the nunnery still doesn’t have sufficient capacity?”
