5 ways for a monk not to be dismissed

Five ways for a monk not to be dismissed from a room:
1. If there is much affection for his preceptor.
2. If there is much faith in him toward his preceptor.
3. If there is much sense of shame in him.
4. If there is much respect for his preceptor.
5. If there is much development under him.
(from Vinaya, Mahavagga 27.7)
