That monk should approach the Sangha, arrange his upper robe over one shoulder, pay respect at the feet of the senior monks, squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say: ‘Venerables, I’ve been insane and suffering from psychosis. Because of that, I did and said many things unworthy of a monastic. The monks accused me of an offense, saying, “Venerable, do you remember committing such-and-such an offense?” I replied, “I was insane and suffering from psychosis. Because of that, I did and said many things unworthy of a monastic. I don’t remember it. I did it because I was insane.” But they kept on accusing me in the same way. Because I’m now sane, I ask the Sangha for resolution because of past insanity.’ And he should ask a second and a third time. A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The monk so-and-so has been insane and suffering from psychosis. Because of that insanity and psychosis, he did and said many things unworthy of a monastic. Because of that insanity and psychosis, the monks accused him of an offense, saying, “Venerable, do you remember committing such-and-such an offense?” He replied, “I was insane and suffering from psychosis. Because of that insanity and psychosis, I did and said many things unworthy of a monastic. I don’t remember it. I did it because I was insane.” But even though he said this, they kept on accusing him, “Venerable, do you remember committing such-and-such an offense?” Because he is now sane, he is asking the Sangha for resolution because of past insanity. If the Sangha is ready, then, because monk so-and-so is now sane, the Sangha should grant him resolution because of past insanity. This is the motion.
