Sincerity on r/zen

If there is someone who falsely pretends [to be a monk],‭ and like a thief enters the pure assembly causing all kinds of disturbance,‭ he should be reported to the Karmadana who should remove his belongings from his place and expel him from the monastery.‭ This is done out of consideration for the pure assembly.‭ If a monk has committed a [major] offence,‭ then he should be beaten with a stick and his robes,‭ bowl,‭ and other requisites should be burned in front of the community.‭ Then he should be expelled through the side door as a sign of disgrace.‭
