Re: Commentary and BMC on saṅghādisesa
Thanks for the quote. Thullacaya, grave offense, is the closest to Saṅghādisesa. It is no light offense although of course not as severe as the sanghadisesa. As I read it in the Vibhaṅga (not the Commentary) it indicates that a lustful bhikkhu who mistakes a woman as a transexual - although she is a...
