https://info-buddhism.com/sangha_schism.html “A bhikkhunī does not split a Community even if she strives for a split. A female trainee does not split a Community. A novice … A female novice … A male lay-follower … A female lay-follower does not split a Community even if she strives for a split. A regular bhikkhu, of common affiliation, standing in the same territory splits the Community.” — Cv.VII.5.1 It seems from this scripture that only a monk can commit this heinous karma/sangha bedha?(Anantarika-karma) Is this rightly understood by me? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anantarika-karma Take Care
