(Mv.IV.6.2) Now on that occasion, a certain monk remembered an offense as he was inviting. The thought occurred to him, “It has been laid down by the Blessed One that one with an offense should not invite. And I have fallen into an offense. What should I do?”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Monks, there is the case where a monk remembers an offense as he is inviting.

“That monk should say to the monk next to him, ‘Friend, I have fallen into such-and-such offense. Having gotten up from here, I will make amends for the offense. Once that has been said, he/they should invite.

“Not from that cause alone should an obstruction to the Invitation be made.”

(Mv.IV.6.3) “Monks, there is the case where a monk becomes doubtful about an offense as he is inviting.

“That monk should say to the monk next to him, ‘Friend, I am doubtful about such-and-such offense. When I become free from doubt, then I will make amends for the offense. Once that has been said, he/they should invite.

Not from that cause alone should an obstruction to the Invitation be made.”
