To prevent disagreement during their rains retreat, monks took a vow of silence. The Buddha criticized this practice as uncomfortable, comparable to living like livestock or sectarians, and prohibited it. To promote harmony, he established the Invitation (Pavāraṇā) ceremony, requiring monks completing the retreat to invite mutual admonishment based on what was seen, heard, or suspected, and allowed monks to sit on seats after inviting admonishment.
