[1][pts] "Bhante, how many reasons are there for suspending the Pātimokkha."
"There are, Upāli, ten reasons for suspending the Pātimokkha.
What ten?
(1) One who has committed a pārājika is sitting in that assembly;
(2) a discussion about one who has committed a pārājika is underway;
(3) one not fully ordained is sitting in that assembly;
[71] (4) a discussion about one not fully ordained is underway;
(5) one who has given up the training is sitting in that assembly;
(6) a discussion about one who has given up the training is underway;
(7) a eunuch is sitting in that assembly;
(8) a discussion about a eunuch is underway;
(9) a seducer of a bhikkhunī is sitting in that assembly;
(10) a discussion about a seducer of a bhikkhunī is underway.
These are the ten reasons for suspending the Pātimokkha."
