A sin of an ordained person, requiring open confession before the assembly for absolution, or riddance [lang id =1028]殘; failing confession, dismissal from the order. Thirteen of these sins are of sexual thoughts, or their verbal expression, also greed, even for the sake of the order, etc.* * *殘者, 如人被斫, 命雖未盡, 而身已傷殘也。 謂若犯此罪, 僧為作法懺除其過, 故名僧殘。* * *律學篇聚名之一, 即犯了重戒將墮未墮, 如人犯重罪, 將瀕於危, 僅留殘命的情形。
