When a monk has eight qualities, a procedure of censure against him shouldn’t be lifted: he cancels the observance-day ceremony of a regular monk; he cancels the invitation ceremony of a regular monk; he directs a regular monk; he gives instructions to a regular monk; he asks a regular monk for permission to correct him; he accuses a regular monk of an offense; he reminds a regular monk of an offense; he associates inappropriately with other monks.” The group of eighteen on not to be lifted is finished.

The group of eighteen on to be lifted “When a monk has five qualities, a legal procedure of censure against him should be lifted: he doesn’t give the full ordination; he doesn’t give formal support; he doesn’t have a novice monk attend on him; he doesn’t accept being appointed as an instructor of the nuns; he doesn’t instruct the nuns, whether appointed or not. When a monk has another five qualities, a procedure of censure against him should be lifted: he doesn’t commit the same offense as the offense for which the Sangha did the procedure of censure against him; he doesn’t commit an offense similar to the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of censure against him; he doesn’t commit an offense worse than the one for which the Sangha did the procedure of censure against him; he doesn’t criticize the procedure; he doesn’t criticize those who did the procedure.
