The Compendium Various aspects of the four kinds of legal issues 1. The
subdivision on reopening, etc.

There are four kinds of legal issues: legal issues arising from disputes,
legal issues arising from accusations, legal issues arising from offenses,
legal issues arising from business.

How many kinds of reopening are there of these four legal issues? Ten. There
are two kinds of reopening of legal issues arising from disputes, four of
legal issues arising from accusations, three of legal issues arising from
offenses, and one of legal issues arising from business.

When reopening a legal issue arising from a dispute, how many of the
principles for settling it does one reopen? When reopening a legal issue
arising from an accusation, how many of the principles for settling it does
one reopen? When reopening a legal issue arising from an offense, how many of
the principles for settling it does one reopen? When reopening a legal issue
arising from business, how many of the principles for settling it does one
reopen?

When reopening a legal issue arising from a dispute, one reopens two
principles for settling it. When reopening a legal issue arising from an
accusation, one reopens four principles for settling it. When reopening a
legal issue arising from an offense, one reopens three principles for settling
it. When reopening a legal issue arising from business, one reopens one
principle for settling it.

How many kinds of reopening are there? In how many ways does a reopening come
about? How many attributes do people who reopen a legal issue have? How many
kinds of people commit an offense when they reopen a legal issue?

There are twelve kinds of reopening. A reopening comes about in ten ways.
People who reopen a legal issue have four attributes. There are four kinds of
people who commit an offense when they reopen a legal issue.

What are the twelve kinds of reopening? “The legal procedure hasn’t been
done”; “it’s been done badly”; “it should be done again”;
“it’s not been settled”; “it’s been badly settled”; “it should
be settled again”; “it’s not been decided”; “it’s been badly
decided”; “it should be decided again”; “it’s not been disposed
of”; “it’s been badly disposed of”; “it should be disposed of
again”.

What are the ten ways that a reopening comes about? One reopens a legal issue
where it arose; one reopens a legal issue where it arose and was resolved; one
reopens a legal issue while traveling; one reopens a legal issue that was
resolved while traveling; one reopens a legal issue after going there; one
reopens a legal issue that was resolved after going there; one reopens a
resolution through recollection; one reopens a resolution because of past
insanity; one reopens a decision on giving a further penalty; one reopens a
decision on covering over as if with grass.

What are the four attributes of people who reopen a legal issue? They reopen a
legal issue biased by desire, ill will, confusion, or fear.

Who are the four kinds of people who commit an offense when they reopen a
legal issue? If one who was ordained on that very day does the reopening, they
commit an offense entailing confession; if one who has newly arrived does the
reopening, they commit an offense entailing confession; if the original doer
does the reopening, they commit an offense entailing confession; if one who
had given their consent does the reopening, they commit an offense entailing
confession.

2. The sources of the legal issues, etc. What is the source, the origin, the
birth, the arising, the production, the origination of legal issues arising
from disputes? What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the
production, the origination of legal issues arising from accusations? What is
the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of legal issues arising from offenses? What is the source, the
origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the origination of legal
issues arising from business?

Legal issues arising from disputes have disputes as their source, their
origin, their birth, their arising, their production, their origination. Legal
issues arising from accusations have accusations as their source, their
origin, their birth, their arising, their production, their origination. Legal
issues arising from offenses have offenses as their source, their origin,
their birth, their arising, their production, their origination. Legal issues
arising from business have business as their source, their origin, their
birth, their arising, their production, their origination.

What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of legal issues arising from disputes? … of legal issues arising
from accusations? … of legal issues arising from offenses? … of legal
issues arising from business?

Legal issues arising from disputes have causes as their source, their origin,
their birth, their arising, their production, their origination. Legal issues
arising from accusations … Legal issues arising from offenses … Legal
issues arising from business have causes as their source, their origin, their
birth, their arising, their production, their origination.

What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of legal issues arising from disputes? … of legal issues arising
from accusations? … of legal issues arising from offenses? … of legal
issues arising from business?

Legal issues arising from disputes have conditions as their source, their
origin, their birth, their arising, their production, their origination. Legal
issues arising from accusations … Legal issues arising from offenses …
Legal issues arising from business have conditions as their source, their
origin, their birth, their arising, their production, their origination.

3. The roots of legal issues, etc. How many roots do the four kinds of legal
issues have, and how many originations? They have thirty-three roots, and
thirty-three originations.

What are the thirty-three roots? Legal issues arising from disputes have
twelve roots; legal issues arising from accusations have fourteen roots; legal
issues arising from offenses have six roots; legal issues arising from
business have one root, the Sangha.

What are the thirty-three originations? Legal issues arising from disputes
originate from the eighteen grounds for schism; legal issues arising from
accusations originate from the four kinds of failure; legal issues arising
from offenses originate from the seven classes of offenses; legal issues
arising from business originate from the four kinds of legal procedures.

4. Offenses because of legal issues “When it comes to legal issues arising
from disputes, are they offenses?” They are not offenses. “Is it possible
to commit an offense because of legal issues arising from disputes?” Yes.
How many offenses does one commit because of legal issues arising from
disputes? Two: there is an offense entailing confession for abusing one who is
fully ordained; there is an offense of wrong conduct for abusing one who is
not fully ordained.

When it comes to these offenses, to how many of the four kinds of failure do
they belong? To which of the four kinds of legal issues do they belong? In how
many of the seven classes of offenses are they found? Through how many of the
six kinds of originations of offenses do they originate? Through how many
kinds of legal issues, in how many places, and through how many of the
principles for settling legal issues are they settled?

They belong to one kind of failure: failure in conduct. They belong to legal
issues arising from an offense. They are found in two classes of offenses:
they may be in the class of offenses entailing confession; they may be in the
class of offenses of wrong conduct. They originate in three ways. They are
settled through one kind of legal issue: legal issues arising from business.
They are settled in three places: in the midst of the Sangha, in the midst of
a group, or in the presence of an individual. They are settled through three
principles: they may be settled by resolution face-to-face and by acting
according to what has been admitted; or they may be settled by resolution
face-to-face and by covering over as if with grass.

“When it comes to legal issues arising from accusations, are they
offenses?” They are not offenses. “Is it possible to commit an offense
because of legal issues arising from accusations?” Yes. How many offenses
does one commit because of legal issues arising from accusations? Three: there
is an offense entailing suspension for groundlessly charging a monk with an
offense entailing expulsion; there is an offense entailing confession for
groundlessly charging someone with an offense entailing suspension; there is
an offense of wrong conduct for groundlessly charging someone with failure in
conduct.

When it comes to these offenses, to how many of the four kinds of failure do
they belong? To which of the four kinds of legal issues do they belong? In how
many of the seven classes of offenses are they found? Through how many of the
six kinds of originations of offenses do they originate? Through how many
kinds of legal issues, in how many places, and through how many of the
principles for settling legal issues are they settled?

They belong to two kinds of failure: they may be failure in morality; they may
be failure in conduct. They belong to legal issues arising from an offense.
They are found in three classes of offenses: they may be in the class of
offenses entailing suspension; they may be in the class of offenses entailing
confession; they may be in the class of offenses of wrong conduct. They
originate in three ways. The heavy offenses are settled through one kind of
legal issue: legal issues arising from business. They are settled in one
place: in the midst of the Sangha. They are settled through two principles: by
resolution face-to-face and by acting according to what has been admitted. The
light offenses are settled through one kind of legal issue: legal issues
arising from business. They are settled in three places: in the midst of the
Sangha, in the midst of a group, or in the presence of an individual. They are
settled through three principles: they may be settled by resolution
face-to-face and by acting according to what has been admitted; or they may be
settled by resolution face-to-face and by covering over as if with grass.

“When it comes to legal issues arising from offenses, are they offenses?”
They are offenses. “Is it possible to commit an offense because of legal
issues arising from offenses?” Yes. How many offenses does one commit
because of legal issues arising from offenses? Four: there is an offense
entailing expulsion for a nun who knowingly conceals an offense entailing
expulsion; there is a serious offense for concealing it if she is unsure;
there is an offense entailing confession for a monk who conceals an offense
entailing suspension; there is an offense of wrong conduct for concealing a
failure in conduct.

When it comes to these offenses, to how many of the four kinds of failure do
they belong? To which of the four kinds of legal issues do they belong? In how
many of the seven classes of offenses are they found? Through how many of the
six kinds of originations of offenses do they originate? Through how many
kinds of legal issues, in how many places, and through how many of the
principles for settling legal issues are they settled?

They belong to two kinds of failure: they may be failure in morality; they may
be failure in conduct. They belong to legal issues arising from an offense.
They are found in four classes of offenses: they may be in the class of
offenses entailing expulsion; they may be in the class of serious offenses;
they may be in the class of offenses entailing confession; they may be in the
class of offenses of wrong conduct. They originate in one way: from body,
speech, and mind. The incurable offense is not settled through any kind of
legal issue, in any place, or through any of the principles for settling legal
issues. The light offenses are settled through one kind of legal issue: legal
issues arising from business. They are settled in three places: in the midst
of the Sangha, in the midst of a group, or in the presence of an individual.
They are settled through three principles: they may be settled by resolution
face-to-face and by acting according to what has been admitted; or they may be
settled by resolution face-to-face and by covering over as if with grass.

“When it comes to legal issues arising from business, are they offenses?”
They are not offenses. “Is it possible to commit an offense because of legal
issues arising from business?” Yes. How many offenses does one commit
because of legal issues arising from business? Five: there is an offense of
wrong conduct after the motion when a nun takes sides with one who has been
ejected and does not stop when pressed up to three times; there is a serious
offense after each of the first two announcements; there is an offense
entailing expulsion when the last announcement is finished; there is an
offense entailing suspension when monks who side with a monk who is pursuing
schism do not stop when pressed for the third time; there is an offense
entailing confession when not giving up a bad view after being pressed for the
third time.

When it comes to these offenses, to how many of the four kinds of failure do
they belong? To which of the four kinds of legal issues do they belong? In how
many of the seven classes of offenses are they found? Through how many of the
six kinds of originations of offenses do they originate? Through how many
kinds of legal issues, in how many places, and through how many of the
principles for settling legal issues are they settled?

They belong to two kinds of failure: they may be failure in morality; they may
be failure in conduct. They belong to legal issues arising from an offense.
They are found in five classes of offenses: they may be in the class of
offenses entailing expulsion; they may be in the class of offenses entailing
suspension; they may be in the class of serious offenses; they may be in the
class of offenses entailing confession; they may be in the class of offenses
of wrong conduct. They originate in one way: from body, speech, and mind. The
incurable offense is not settled through any kind of legal issue, in any
place, or through any of the principles for settling legal issues. The heavy
offense is settled through one kind of legal issue: legal issues arising from
business. It is settled in one place: in the midst of the Sangha. It is
settled through two principles: by resolution face-to-face and by acting
according to what has been admitted. The light offenses are settled through
one kind of legal issue: legal issues arising from business. They are settled
in three places: in the midst of the Sangha, in the midst of a group, or in
the presence of an individual. They are settled through three principles: they
may be settled by resolution face-to-face and by acting according to what has
been admitted; or they may be settled by resolution face-to-face and by
covering over as if with grass.

5. The difference between legal issues Is a legal issue arising from a dispute
a legal issue arising from an accusation, a legal issue arising from an
offense, or a legal issue arising from business? A legal issue arising from a
dispute is neither a legal issue arising from an accusation, nor a legal issue
arising from an offense, nor a legal issue arising from business.
Nevertheless, because of legal issues arising from disputes, there are legal
issues arising from accusations, legal issues arising from offenses, and legal
issues arising from business. How is this? It may be that monks are disputing,
saying, “This is the Teaching”, “This is contrary to the Teaching” …
“This is a grave offense”, or “This is a minor offense.” In regard to
this, whatever there is of quarreling, arguing, conflict, disputing, variety
in opinion, difference in opinion, heated speech, or strife—this is called a
legal issue arising from a dispute. When, during a legal issue arising from a
dispute, the Sangha disputes, there is a legal issue arising from a dispute.
When one who is disputing makes an accusation, there is a legal issue arising
from an accusation. When one who is accusing commits an offense, there is a
legal issue arising from an offense. When the Sangha does a legal procedure
because of that offense, there is a legal issue arising from business. In this
way, because of legal issues arising from disputes, there are legal issues
arising from accusations, legal issues arising from offenses, and legal issues
arising from business.

Is a legal issue arising from an accusation a legal issue arising from an
offense, a legal issue arising from business, or legal issue arising from a
dispute? A legal issue arising from an accusation is neither a legal issue
arising from an offense, nor a legal issue arising from business, nor a legal
issue arising from a dispute. Nevertheless, because of legal issues arising
from accusations, there are legal issues arising from offenses, legal issues
arising from business, and legal issues arising from disputes. How is this? It
may be that monks accuse a monk of failure in morality, failure in conduct,
failure in view, or failure in livelihood. In regard to this, whatever there
is of accusations, accusing, allegations, blame, taking sides because of
friendship, taking part in the accusation, or supporting the accusation—this
is called a legal issue arising from an accusation. When, during a legal issue
arising from an accusation, the Sangha disputes, there is a legal issue
arising from a dispute. When one who is disputing makes an accusation, there
is a legal issue arising from an accusation. When one who is accusing commits
an offense, there is a legal issue arising from an offense. When the Sangha
does a legal procedure because of that offense, there is a legal issue arising
from business. In this way, because of legal issues arising from accusations,
there are legal issues arising from offenses, legal issues arising from
business, and legal issues arising from disputes.

Is a legal issue arising from an offense a legal issue arising from business,
a legal issue arising from a dispute, or a legal issue arising from an
accusation? A legal issue arising from an offense is neither a legal issue
arising from business, nor a legal issue arising from a dispute, nor a legal
issue arising from an accusation. Nevertheless, because of legal issues
arising from offenses, there are legal issues arising from business, legal
issues arising from disputes, and legal issues arising from accusations. How
is this? There are legal issues arising from offenses because of the five
classes of offenses, and there are legal issues arising from offenses because
of the seven classes of offenses—these are called legal issues arising from
offenses. When, during a legal issue arising from an offense, the Sangha
disputes, there is a legal issue arising from a dispute. When one who is
disputing makes an accusation, there is a legal issue arising from an
accusation. When one who is accusing commits an offense, there is a legal
issue arising from an offense. When the Sangha does a legal procedure because
of that offense, there is a legal issue arising from business. In this way,
because of legal issues arising from offenses, there are legal issues arising
from business, legal issues arising from disputes, and legal issues arising
from accusations.

Is a legal issue arising from business a legal issue arising from a dispute, a
legal issue arising from an accusation, or a legal issue arising from an
offense? A legal issue arising from business is neither a legal issue arising
from a dispute, nor a legal issue arising from an accusation, nor a legal
issue arising from an offense. Nevertheless, because of legal issues arising
from business, there are legal issues arising from disputes, legal issues
arising from accusations, and legal issues arising from offenses. How is this?
Whatever is the duty or the business of the Sangha—a legal procedure
consisting of getting permission, a legal procedure consisting of one motion,
a legal procedure consisting of one motion and one announcement, a legal
procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements—this is called a
legal issue arising from business. When, during a legal issue arising from
business, the Sangha disputes, there is a legal issue arising from a dispute.
When one who is disputing makes an accusation, there is a legal issue arising
from an accusation. When one who is accusing commits an offense, there is a
legal issue arising from an offense. When the Sangha does a legal procedure
because of that offense, there is a legal issue arising from business. In this
way, because of legal issues arising from business, there are legal issues
arising from disputes, legal issues arising from accusations, and legal issues
arising from offenses.

6. The section on questioning When there is resolution through recollection,
is there also resolution face-to-face? When there is resolution face-to-face,
is there also resolution through recollection? When there is resolution
because of past insanity, is there also resolution face-to-face? When there is
resolution face-to-face, is there also resolution because of past insanity?
When there is acting according to what has been admitted, is there also
resolution face-to-face? When there is resolution face-to-face, is there also
acting according to what has been admitted? When there is a majority decision,
is there also resolution face-to-face? When there is resolution face-to-face,
is there also a majority decision? When there is a further penalty, is there
also resolution face-to-face? When there is resolution face-to-face, is there
also a further penalty? When there is covering over as if with grass, is there
also resolution face-to-face? When there is resolution face-to-face, is there
also covering over as if with grass?

7. The section on responding There may be an occasion when a legal issue is
resolved by resolution face-to-face and resolution through recollection. Then,
when there is resolution through recollection there is also resolution
face-to-face, and when there is resolution face-to-face there is also
resolution through recollection; but there is not resolution because of past
insanity, nor acting according to what has been admitted, nor a majority
decision, nor a further penalty, nor covering over as if with grass. There may
be an occasion when a legal issue is resolved by resolution face-to-face and
resolution because of past insanity. … by resolution face-to-face and by
acting according to what has been admitted … by resolution face-to-face and
by a majority decision … by resolution face-to-face and by a further penalty
… There may be an occasion when a legal issue is resolved by resolution
face-to-face and by covering over as if with grass. Then, when there is
covering over as if with grass there is also resolution face-to-face, and when
there is resolution face-to-face there is also covering over as if with grass;
but there is not resolution through recollection, nor resolution because of
past insanity, nor acting according to what has been admitted, nor a majority
decision, nor a further penalty.

8. The section on connected Is a resolution face-to-face and a resolution
through recollection connected or disconnected? Is it possible to completely
separate them and point to their difference? Is a resolution face-to-face and
resolution because of past insanity … Is a resolution face-to-face and
acting according to what has been admitted … Is a resolution face-to-face
and a majority decision … Is a resolution face-to-face and a further penalty
… Is a resolution face-to-face and covering over as if with grass connected
or disconnected? Is it possible to completely separate them and point to their
difference?

Resolution face-to-face and resolution through recollection are connected, not
disconnected, and it is not possible to completely separate them and point to
their difference. Resolution face-to-face and resolution because of past
insanity … Resolution face-to-face and acting according to what has been
admitted … Resolution face-to-face and a majority decision … Resolution
face-to-face and a further penalty … Resolution face-to-face and covering
over as if with grass are connected, not disconnected, and it is not possible
to completely separate them and point to their difference.

9. The sources of the seven principles for settling legal issues What is the
source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the origination of
resolution face-to-face? What is the source, the origin, the birth, the
arising, the production, the origination of resolution through recollection?
What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of resolution because of past insanity? What is the source, the
origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the origination of acting
according to what has been admitted? What is the source, the origin, the
birth, the arising, the production, the origination of a majority decision?
What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of a further penalty? What is the source, the origin, the birth,
the arising, the production, the origination of covering over as if with
grass?

Resolution face-to-face has sources as its source, its origin, its birth, its
arising, its production, its origination. Resolution through recollection …
Resolution because of past insanity … Acting according to what has been
admitted … A majority decision … A further penalty … Covering over as if
with grass has sources as its source, its origin, its birth, its arising, its
production, its origination.

What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of resolution face-to-face? … of resolution through
recollection? … of resolution because of past insanity? … of acting
according to what has been admitted? … of a majority decision? … of a
further penalty? What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the
production, the origination of covering over as if with grass?

Resolution face-to-face has causes as its source, its origin, its birth, its
arising, its production, its origination. Resolution through recollection …
Resolution because of past insanity … Acting according to what has been
admitted … A majority decision … A further penalty … Covering over as if
with grass has causes as its source, its origin, its birth, its arising, its

What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the production, the
origination of resolution face-to-face? … of resolution through
recollection? … of resolution because of past insanity? … of acting
according to what has been admitted? … of a majority decision? … of a
further penalty? What is the source, the origin, the birth, the arising, the
production, the origination of covering over as if with grass? Resolution
face-to-face has conditions as its source, its origin, its birth, its arising,
its production, its origination. Resolution through recollection …
Resolution because of past insanity … Acting according to what has been
admitted … A majority decision … A further penalty … Covering over as if
with grass has conditions as its source, its origin, its birth, its arising,
its production, its origination.

How many roots do the seven principles for settling legal issues have, and how
many originations? They have twenty-six roots and thirty-six originations.
What are those twenty-six roots? Resolution face-to-face has four roots:
face-to-face with the Sangha, face-to-face with the Teaching, face-to-face
with the Monastic Law, face-to-face with the persons concerned. Resolution
through recollection has four roots. Resolution because of past insanity has
four roots. Acting according to what has been admitted has two roots: The one
who confesses and the one he confesses to. A majority decision has four roots.
A further penalty has four roots. Covering over as if with grass has four
roots: face-to-face with the Sangha, face-to-face with the Teaching,
face-to-face with the Monastic Law, face-to-face with the persons concerned.

What are those thirty-six originations? The doing of, the performing of, the
participation in, the consent to, the agreement to, the non-objection to a
legal procedure of resolution through recollection. … a legal procedure of
resolution because of past insanity. … a legal procedure of acting according
to what has been admitted. … a legal procedure of majority decision. … a
legal procedure of further penalty. The doing of, the performing of, the
participation in, the consent to, the agreement to, the non-objection to a
legal procedure of covering over as if with grass.

10. The variety in meaning, etc., between the seven principles for settling
legal issues “Are resolution face-to-face and resolution through
recollection different in meaning and different in wording, or the same in
meaning and just different in wording? Are resolution face-to-face and
resolution because of past insanity … Are resolution face-to-face and acting
according to what has been admitted … Are resolution face-to-face and a
majority decision … Are resolution face-to-face and a further penalty …
Are resolution face-to-face and covering over as if with grass different in
meaning and different in wording, or the same in meaning and just different in
wording? Resolution face-to-face and resolution through recollection are
different in meaning and different in wording. Resolution face-to-face and
resolution because of past insanity … Resolution face-to-face and acting
according to what has been admitted … Resolution face-to-face and a majority
decision … Resolution face-to-face and a further penalty … Resolution
face-to-face and covering over as if with grass are different in meaning and
different in wording.

How is there a dispute that is also a legal issue arising from a dispute? It
may be that monks are disputing, saying, ‘This is the Teaching’, ‘This

accusation? It may be that monks accuse a monk of failure in morality,
conduct, view, or livelihood. In regard to this, whatever there is of
accusations, accusing, allegations, blame, taking sides because of friendship,
taking part in the accusation, or supporting the accusation—this is an
accusation that is also a legal issue arising from an accusation.

How is there an accusation that is not a legal issue? A mother accuses her
offspring; an offspring their mother; a father his offspring; an offspring
their father; a brother his brother; a brother his sister; a sister her
brother; a friend their friend—these are accusations that are not legal
issues.
