The shared pacittiyas
(rules 49-55 of 70)

145 / 66 Travelling with thieves

147 / 69 Spending time with the monastic of the previous rule
148 / 70 Spending time with a samanera/i who makes such claims as in rule # 146 / 68
149 / 71 Refusing to train in a rule that is perfectly clear and saying that you need to consult more experts
150 / 72 During patimokkha recitation, saying that the minor rules just lead to anxiety, irritation, and confusion

The shared pacittiyas

153 / 75 Raising one’s hand against another monastic
154 / 76 Accusing another monastic of an unfounded sanghadisesa offense
155 / 77 Making someone anxious
156 / 78 Eavesdropping on arguing monastics
157 / 79 Agreeing to a sangha decision and later complaining
158 / 80 Leaving without giving consent when the sangha is discussing (this blocks all decision making because sangha matters have to be decided unanimously)

The shared pacittiyas
(rules 64-70 of 70)

160 / 82 Diverting donations intended for the sangha to an individual
161 / 84 Picking up a valuable
162 / 86 Making a needle case of bone, ivory, or horn*
163 / 87 Making a high bed*
164 / 88 Upholstering a bed / bench*
165 / 90 Making a bandage too large*
166 / 92 Making a robe too large*

As already mentioned in post #41, there are eight pacittiyas that cover cases where a monastic makes an unsuitable object, and something needs to be done with it before the confession becomes valid and the offense can be cleared. In this doodle, there are five of these pacittiyas, which I have marked with a *.
To clear the offense, the needle case has to be broken, the legs of the bed have to be shortened, the stuffing has to be removed, and the bandage / robe have to be cut down.

Oh wow! Acknowledgement of the evil of the ivory trade!
The doodle masterfully shows the bones of the tusker. :rhinoceros:

…even with a ‘chaperone’?

This has to do with the perception of lay people thinking male and female fully ordained monastics are out at their leisure enjoying a jaunt in a boat. The previous rule is about perception of touring together. Travel together is allowed if one is simply crossing a river for transportation or if one is traveling on the road together where it would be more dangerous to travel separately.

Also it is not an offense for the Bhikkhu, if the arrangement for travel was not made by him and it just so happens that a Bhikkhuni is also going in the same land vehicle or caravan. But for the boat, it seems to be the act of embarking in the same boat at all, if it is bound up or downstream, that signifies the offense.

Thank you for the clarification, Venerable @Niyyanika!

Yes, even if it is a whole group of monks. Ayya Niyyanika has explained the reason above. :anjal:

There is also a very similar rule - monks’ pacittiya 67 - about travelling with a woman.
