1"Bhikkhus, there are these seven principles for the settlement of disciplinary issues, for settling and pacifying any disciplinary issues that may arise. What seven?

"(1) Removal by presence may be applied; [n.1606] Sammukhāvinaya. In view of the detailed explanation at Vin II 93,32 –100,6, the rendering in MLDB 855–56, "removal by confrontation," is not satisfactory. (2) removal by memory may be applied; (3) removal on account of past insanity may be applied; (4) the acknowledgment of an offense may be applied; (5) the majority opinion may be applied; (6) a charge of aggravated misconduct may be applied; and (7) covering over with grass may be applied. [n.1606a] For details on these principles and their applications, see MN 104.13–19, II 247–50; Vin II 73–104; Ṭhānissaro 2007a: 546–61.
