One of five types of offense a monk can incur. Second only to a defeat in severity, there are thirteen such offenses. After a monastic incurs a saṅgha remnant, they must complete a “probation” (Skt. mānāpya; Tib. mgu ba) or, if the offense was initially concealed, a “penance” (Skt. parivāsa; Tib. spo ba) followed by probation. During this time, the offending monk loses certain privileges and must perform menial tasks. Upon completion of this period of probation and penance, the saṅgha may then rescind the punishment with an “act of rescission” (Tib. dbyung ba’i las; Skt. āvarhaṇa or āvarhaṇakarman).

One of five types of offense a monk can incur. Second only to a defeat in severity, there are thirteen such offenses. After a monastic incurs one of these offenses, a “remnant” (Tib. lhag ma; Skt. śeṣa) of the prātimokṣa vow must be restored through the serving of a probation or, if the offense is concealed, a penance followed by probation, during which the offending monk loses certain privileges and must perform menial tasks. Upon completion of this period of probation and penance, the saṅgha may then reinstate the monk with full honors and privileges.
