He should then give his preceptor a tooth cleaner and water for rinsing the mouth, and he should prepare a seat for him. If there is congee, he should rinse a vessel and bring the congee to his preceptor. When he has drunk the congee, the student should give him water and receive the vessel. Holding it low, he should wash it carefully without scratching it and then put it away. When the preceptor has gotten up, the student should put away the seat.

Because of this, he left that monastery too and returned to Kosambī. He then conducted himself properly and suitably, and deserved to be released. He went to the monks and told them about this, adding, “What should I do now?” The monks told the Buddha. He had the monks gathered and said, “Well then, lift that legal procedure of ejecting the monk Channa for not recognizing an offense.” The group of forty-three on not to be lifted

The monks were cold. “I allow a water wiper and a towel to dry yourselves.” On one occasion a lay follower wanted to build a lotus bathing tank for the benefit of the Sangha.

This principle too is to be honored and respected all one’s life, and is not to be breached.

She replied, “Just as a young woman or man—someone fond of adornments, who has just washed their hair—would receive a garland of lotuses, jasmine, or sandan flowers with both hands and place it on their head, so too, do I receive these eight important principles, not to be breached for life.” Ānanda then went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, Mahāpajāpati has accepted the eight important principles. Your aunt is now ordained.” “Ānanda, if women had not been allowed to go forth on this spiritual path proclaimed by the Buddha, the spiritual life would have lasted a long time—the true Teaching would have lasted a thousand years.

But if the preceptor’s speech is bordering on an offense, he should stop him. When returning, the student should go first to prepare a seat and to set out a foot stool, a foot scraper, and water for washing the feet. He should go out to meet the preceptor and receive his bowl and robe. He should give him a sarong and receive the one he’s wearing in return. If the robe is damp, he should sun it for a short while, but shouldn’t leave it in the heat. He should fold the robe, offsetting the edges by seven centimeters, so that the fold doesn’t become worn. He should place the belt in the fold. If there is almsfood and his preceptor wants to eat, the student should give him water and then the almsfood.

If the Sangha does the invitation ceremony by means of three statements, we won’t finish before it starts raining.

“If a monk isn’t sick and he’s told by the senior monk to prepare the seats, he should do so.
