“Having approached one monk, having arranged his upper robe over one shoulder, the monk should sit in the kneeling position with his hands placed palm-to-palm over the heart and say, “‘Friend, I am in doubt about such-and-such offense. When I become free from doubt, then I will make amends for the offense.’ Once that has been said, the Uposatha should be performed; the Pāṭimokkha should be listened to. “Not from that cause alone should an obstruction to the Uposatha be made.”
