Mutual Influence. - Buddha and his dhamma,

:: 2. Mutual Influence. ::
1 However, the bond of alms was enough for a Bhikkhu to reform an erring member of the laity. 2. In this connection the following rules mentioned in the Anguttara Nikaya are worthy of attention. 
3. In addition to these prescriptions, the laity had a general right to complain against a Bhikkhu to other Bhikkhus, against any mischief or misconduct. 
4. The moment the complaint reached the Buddha and he had verified it, the relevant rule in the Vinaya Pithaka was amended to make the repetition of such a conduct, an offence against the Sangh. 
5. The Vinaya Pithaka is nothing but redress of the complaints of the laity. 6. Such was the relation between the Bhikkhu and the Laity.
