I have not heard these things claimed in this way The Buddhist Monastic Code I Chapter 4 Pārājika (the most serious type of offense) (4) falsely claiming to have attained supernatural powers. A monk who commits a pārājika offense is compared to 'a person whose head is cut off, or a withered leaf dropped from the tree, or a stone slab split in two, or a Palm tree cut from the top'. Such a one has been 'defeated' (the traditional etymology of pārājika) and cannot be readmitted to the Order. |
