Pāṭidesanīya

Acknowledgment

The rules in this category are known in Pali as <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pāṭidesanīya</i>, “entailing acknowledgement”. There are four such rules for the monks, none of which are shared with the nuns. What distinguishes these rules from the <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pācittiyas</i> is the manner of confession. For these rules the confession is done using a unique formula, with the second rule being the only one in the Monastic Code where all the offenders confess together as a group.
