This paper is to consider how Buddhist Saṃgha cope with the troublesome bhikkhu, or the claimer of false opinion, focusing on the ‘rule for being made to give up false opinion’ and the ‘kamma for being made to give up false opinion (pāpikāya diṭṭhiyā appaṭinissagge ukkhepaniyakamma)’. As a result of this study, we know that Buddhist saṃgha is try to settle a dispute through dhamma-saṃghakamma, or “a lawful council of saṃgha”. At this council, saṃgha attempts advices of the three times toward the claimer of false opinion. Notwithstanding this advices, if the claimer will adheres to the false opinion, he is punished with asaṃbhoga from saṃgha. He cannot any longer equally to enjoy āmisasaṃbhoga and dhammasaṃbhoga with the Bhikkhus of saṃgha. Moreover, he is under control of the eighteen restrictions such as the prohibitions on imparting the full ordination and guidance, taking charge of a sāmaṇera and admonishing the bhikkhunīs. Buddhist saṃgha requires repentance through saṃghakamma from the claimer of false opinion, and if this advice is not accepted, saṃgha imposes powerful punishment on him. If he wants to return to saṃgha, he needs to give up his opinion. And, if he informs to saṃgha his own will that give up the false opinion, he can return to saṃgha through saṃghakammma.
