Sangha.\n“And, monks, it should be relinquished like this.\nAfter approaching the Sangha, that monk should arrange his upper robe over one shoulder and pay respect at the feet of the senior monks. He should then squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say,\n‘Venerables, I have engaged in various kinds of trades involving money.\nThis is to be relinquished.\nI relinquish it to the Sangha.’”\nAfter relinquishing it, he is to confess the offense.\nThe confession should be received by a competent and capable monk.\nIf a monastery worker or a lay follower is available, you should tell him,\n“Look into this.”\nIf he says,\n“What can I get you with this?”\none should not say,\n“Get this or that;”\none should point out what is allowable:\nghee, oil, honey, or syrup.\nIf he makes a purchase and brings back what is allowable, everyone may enjoy it except the one who did the exchange involving money.\nIf this is what happens, all is well.\nIf not, he should be told,\n“Discard this.”\nIf he discards it, all is well.\nIf he does not, a monk who has five qualities should be appointed as the money discarder:\nhe’s not biased by desire, ill will, confusion, or fear, and he knows what has and has not been discarded.\n“And, monks, he should be appointed like this.\nFirst the monk should be asked\nand then a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha:\n‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.\nIf the Sangha is ready, it should appoint monk so-and-so as the money discarder.\nThis is the motion.\nPlease, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.\nThe Sangha appoints monk so-and-so as the money discarder.\nAny monk who approves of appointing monk so-and-so as the money discarder should remain silent.\nAny monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.\nThe Sangha has appointed monk so-and-so as the money discarder.\nThe Sangha approves and is therefore silent.\nI will remember it thus.’”\nThe appointed monk should throw it away without taking note of where.\nIf he takes note of where he throws it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.","pi":"Yo panāti\nyo yādiso …pe…\nbhikkhūti\n…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto
