To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In spite of the interruption the ceremony of confession was continued and closed in the traditional wa}' ; all the questions re- garding transgressions that might have been committed were asked and in some cases sins were punctiliously reported by those who felt a need of unburdening their conscience. Penances were im- posed which were willingly and submissively assumed. When every- thing had been attended to, the abbot turned again to Charaka saying, "If you had concealed your secret longings,... you would have been guilty of hypocrisy, but now since you have openly laid bare the state of your mind, there is no longer any falsehood in you. Therefore I find no fault with your conduct ; should you find that you cannot remain a monk, you must know that there is no law that obliges you to remain in the Brotherhood against your will." The abbot then granted Charaka permission to obey the King's call, saying, "You are free to leave the order in peace and good- will, but I enjoin you to make a vow that you will not leave your doubts unsettled, but that as soon as you have attended to the pressing duties which will engage your attention at the capital you will make a pilgrimage to the philosopher A9vaghosha, who lives in the kingdom of Magadha.
