While undertaking the trial period, I committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen. I asked the Sangha to send me back to the beginning for that offense, which it did. I then asked the Sangha to give me the trial period of six days for that offense, which it did. When I had completed the trial period, while deserving rehabilitation, I committed one unconcealed offense of intentional emission of semen.
