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]
offense, 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.
