Saṅghādisesa

Suspension

The rules in this category are known in Pali as <i lang='pi' translate='no'>saṅghādisesa</i>. The meaning of the word is disputed, but according to the commentary it means that the Sangha is required at the beginning (<i lang='pi' translate='no'>ādi</i>) and for the rest (<i lang='pi' translate='no'>sesa</i>) of the procedure. There are thirteen such rules for the monks, seven of which are shared with the nuns. Offenders must undergo a period of probation before being rehabilitated to their former status in the Sangha.
