Thullaccaya offensesAppendix IXVenerable sirs, may the Community listen to me. This Bhikkhu (name) has been mad,out of his mind. While he was mad, out of his mind, he committed much andprevaricated about much in a way that was unworthy of a contemplative... He, nolonger insane, asks the Community for a verdict of past insanity. The Communitygrants Bhikkhu (name), who is no longer insane, a verdict of past insanity. He towhom the granting of a verdict of past insanity to Bhikkhu (name), who is no longerinsane, is agreeable should remain silent. He to whom it is not agreeable shouldspeak.A second time... A third time I speak about this matter. Venerable sirs, may theCommunity listen to me... He to whom it is not agreeable should speak.Bhikkhu (name), who is no longer insane, has been granted a verdict of pastinsanity by the Community. This is agreeable to the Community, therefore it is silent.Thus do I hold it.IX. Thullaccaya offenses.Rules entailing thullaccaya offenses are found in the Sutta Vibhaṅga as derivativesfrom pārājika and saṅghādisesa rules; in the Khandhakas, as stand-alone rules. Thefact that they are scattered throughout the Canon with no special arrangement orsection of their own makes it difficult to determine whether one has committed anoffense of this class. To lessen this difficulty, they are gathered here. Forthullaccayas in the Sutta Vibhaṅga, I have provided summaries in my own words.For those in the Khandhakas, I have given the rules in their original form, arrangingthem in the order in which they are found in BMC2.Thullaccayas in the Sutta VibhaṅgaUnder Pr 1:A bhikkhu engages in mouth-to-mouth penetration with another human being oranimal: a thullaccaya offense.A bhikkhu attempts intercourse with the decomposed mouth, anus, or genitals of acorpse: a thullaccaya offense.Under Pr 2:A bhikkhu steals an article worth more than one māsaka but less than five: athullaccaya offense.494
