The Cullavagga (part of the Vinaya collection) includes accounts of the First and Second Buddhist Councils as well as the establishment of the community of Buddhist nuns. The Cullavagga also elaborates on the etiquette and duties of Bhikkhus....

Cullavagga, Khandaka 3, Chapter 3

1. Now at that time the venerable Udāyi had committed an offence—the first Saṃghādisesa—which he had for one day concealed.

He told the Bhikkhus (&c., as before).

They told this thing to the Blessed One.

'Then, O Bhikkhus, let the Saṃgha impose a probation of one day on Udāyi the Bhikkhu for an offence (&c., as in the first paragraph of this section down to) concealed.

2. 'Now thus, O Bhikkhus, ought it to be imposed—.'

[Here follows the kammavācā precisely as in chapter 1, §§ 2 and 3, with the necessary changes in the wording, a. of the offence, b. of the penalty.]
