Mahāsaṅghika Vinaya

Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga

Suspension 3

Final Ruling

If a bhikkhunī, out of hostility and dissatisfaction, slanders a bhikkhunī, who isn’t pārājika, with a pārājika offense because of a minor issue from a different matter, wanting to destroy her monastic life, and at a later time, whether examined or not examined about that minor issue from a different matter, that bhikkhunī says that she spoke because she harboured hostility, it’s an immediate offense.
