It says:
Perhaps in my unenlightened mind i find it weird that a monk would have committed a parajika for this since I do not "truly" understand what happens at death or the value of human life. but it still seems weird. Almost any good willed or compassionate person would advise against torturing someone over quickly killing them. Yet the monk who did this was expelled. Even more confusing is another passage saysOn one occasion a monk went to a place of execution and said to the executioner, “Don’t torture him. Kill him with a single blow.” “All right, Venerable,” he said, and he killed him with a single blow. The monk became remorseful... “You have committed an offense entailing expulsion.”

So a group of monks who, intending to kill people, killed people in an indirect matter did not commit a parajika. yet a well-intentioned monk who intended a quick death of somebody over torturing them did. Thoughts?On one occasion the monks from the group of six, meaning to cause death, set fire to a forest grove. Some people were burnt and died. Some people were burnt, but did not die. The monks became remorseful. “There’s no offense entailing expulsion,but there’s a serious offense.”
