Suspension 15: siding with a schismatic That nun may have one, two, or three nuns who side with her and support her, and they may say, ‘Venerables, don’t correct this nun. She speaks in accordance with the Teaching and the training. And she speaks with our consent and approval. She knows about us and speaks for us, and we approve of this.’ The nuns should correct those nuns like this: ‘No, venerables, this nun speaks contrary to the Teaching and the training. And don’t consent to schism in the Sangha. Stay with the Sangha, for a united Sangha—in concord, in harmony, having a joint recitation—is at ease.’ If those nuns continue as before, the nuns should press them up to three times to make them stop. If they then stop, all is well. If they do not stop, then after the third announcement those nuns too have committed an offense entailing sending away and suspension.
