seven rules for settling disputes

• (saptâdhikaraṇa-śamatha). Seven rules given in the Vinaya for settling disputes among the monks. Disputes arise from causes; from arguments; from discovery of misconduct; judgment and punishment of such; the correctness or otherwise of a religious observance. The seven rules are : 現前毘尼 saṃmukha-vinaya, face to face evidence, or appeal to the law; 憶念毘尼 smṛti-vinaya, witness or proof; 不癡毘尼 amūḍha-vinaya, irresponsibility, e.g. lunacy; 自言毘尼 tatsvabhavaiṣīya-vinaya, voluntary confession; 多語毘尼 pratijñākāraka-vinaya, decision by majority vote; 罪處所毘尼 yadbhūyasikīya-vinaya, condemnation of unconfessed sin by the 白四 or jñapticaturthin method, i.e. to make a statement and ask thrice for judgment; 草覆地毘尼 tṛṇastāraka-vinaya, i.e. covering the mud with straw, i.e. in protracted disputes the appointment by each side of an elder to spread the straw of the law over the mud of the dispute. (Skt. saptâdhikaraṇa-śamathādharmāḥ; Tib. rtsod pa zhi bar byed pa'i chos bdun). Abbreviated as 七滅. 〔瑜伽論 T 1579.30.874a15〕 [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura,Soothill, Hirakawa, YBh-Ind]
