A period of penance imposed by the saṅgha if a monk incurs a transgression whose remnant is restored by the saṅgha and confesses it straight away. During the period of demotion, the offending monk loses many privileges and is barred from participating in offical acts of the saṅgha, such as ordination ceremonies.
