Pātimokkhaṭṭhapanakkhandhaka

The Pātimokkhaṭṭhapanakkhandhaka, “the Chapter on the cancellation of the Monastic Code”, allows a monastic to exclude another from the Pātimokkha recitation if they have not confessed their offenses beforehand. This chapter also describes the qualities that should be present in oneself before correcting another.
