Theravāda Collection on Monastic Law The Great Division The chapter on medicines 1. Discussion of the five tonics At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks were afflicted with autumn illness, and they could keep down neither congee nor other food. As a result, they became thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over their body. The Buddha noticed this and asked Venerable Ānanda why they were looking so sickly. Ānanda told him.

Then, while reflecting in private, the Buddha thought, “What tonics might I allow the monks that are generally regarded as tonics, would serve as nourishment, but aren’t considered substantial food?” It then occurred to him, “There are these five tonics— ghee, butter, oil, honey, and syrup— that are generally regarded as tonics, serve as nourishment, but aren’t considered substantial food. Why don’t I allow them these five tonics, to be received and consumed before midday?” In the evening, when the Buddha had come out from seclusion, he gave a teaching and then told the monks what he had thought, adding: “I allow these five tonics, to be received and consumed before midday.” The monks then received and consumed the five tonics before midday.

he shouldn’t sway his head while sitting in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t have his hands on his hips while sitting in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t cover his head while sitting in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t clasp his knees while sitting in inhabited areas. He shouldn’t sit encroaching on the senior monks or block the junior monks from getting a seat. He shouldn’t spread out his upper robe and sit on it in inhabited areas. When given water, he should receive it while holding his bowl with both hands. Holding the bowl low, he should rinse it carefully without scratching it. If there’s someone to receive the water, he should hold his bowl low and pour the water into the container,

They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t sit cross-legged. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct.” On one occasion there was a sick nun who was not comfortable without sitting cross-legged. They told the Buddha. “I allow a nun to sit half-cross-legged.” At that time the nuns were using a restroom for defecating. And the nuns from the group of six performed abortions there. They told the Buddha.

But even ordinary food did not agree with them, let alone greasy food. As result of both the autumn illness and the food not agreeing with them, they became even more thin, haggard, and pale. Once again the Buddha noticed this and asked Venerable Ānanda why they were looking even worse. Ānanda told him. The Buddha then gave a teaching, and addressed the monks: “I allow the five tonics to be received and consumed both before and after midday.” At that time the sick monks needed fat as a tonic. They told the Buddha. “I allow these fats as tonics:

trying to avoid splashing the person receiving the water, the monks sitting nearby, and his upper robe. If there’s no-one to receive the water, he should hold his bowl low and pour the water on the ground, trying to avoid splashing the monks sitting nearby and his upper robe. When given rice, he should receive it while holding his bowl with both hands, leaving room for the curry. If there’s ghee, oil, or special curry, the senior monk should say, ‘Everyone gets an equal share.’ He should receive the almsfood respectfully; he should receive the almsfood with attention on the bowl; he should receive the almsfood with the right proportion of bean curry; he should receive an even level of almsfood.

“A nun shouldn’t defecate in a restroom. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. I allow the nuns to defecate in a place that’s open underneath but concealed on top.” At that time the nuns were bathing with bath powder. People complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t bathe with bath powder. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. I allow bran and clay.”

or as the twentieth member of a group, he rehabilitates, it’s invalid and not to be done.” The proper conduct for those deserving to be sent back to the beginning is finished. 3. The proper conduct for those deserving the trial period At this time monks deserving the trial period consented to regular monks bowing down to them, standing up for them, raising their joined palms to them, doing acts of respect toward them, offering them a seat, offering them a bed, offering them water for washing their feet and a foot stool, offering them a foot scraper, receiving their bowls and robes, and massaging their backs when bathing. The monks of few desires complained and criticized them, “How can monks deserving the trial period consent to these things?” The monks told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha of monks gathered and questioned them: “Is it true, monks, that monks deserving the trial period consent to these things?” “It’s true, sir.” The Buddha rebuked them …

At that time the nuns were bathing with scented clay. People complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t bathe with scented clay. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. I allow ordinary clay.” On one occasion when the nuns were bathing in a sauna, they made a racket. They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t bathe in a sauna.

and he’s committed it. And he’s been ejected. The legal procedure was legitimate, irreversible, and fit to stand. Venerables, don’t side with this monk.” But they still sided with him. Soon afterwards a certain monk went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and told him all that had happened. Realizing that the Sangha of monks was divided, the Buddha got up from his seat, went to those monks who had done the ejecting, and sat down on the prepared seat. He then said to those monks: “Don’t just eject a monk for any kind of offense merely because it seems clear to you that he’s committed it.

Even birds make a nest in the top of a tree and settle down for the rainy-season. But not so the Sakyan monastics.” The monks heard the complaints of those people and told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “You should enter the rainy-season residence.” The monks thought, “When should we enter the rains residence?” They told the Buddha. “You should enter the rainy-season residence during the rainy season.”

Regular monks offering him a seat Regular monks offering him a bed Regular monks offering him water for washing his feet and a foot-stool Regular monks offering him a foot-scraper Regular monks receiving his bowl and robe Regular monks massaging his back when he’s bathing. If he consents to any of these, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. Monks deserving the trial period should do the following with one another according to seniority: bow down, stand up, raise their joined palms, do acts of respect, offer a seat, offer a bed, offer water for washing the feet and a foot stool, offer a foot scraper, receive bowl and robe, and massage one another’s backs when bathing. Monks deserving the trial period should do five things with regular monks according to seniority: the observance-day ceremony, the invitation ceremony, distributing rainy-season robes, meal invitations, and meals.

he shouldn’t make a chomping sound while eating; he shouldn’t slurp while eating; he shouldn’t lick his hands while eating; he shouldn’t lick his almsbowl while eating; he shouldn’t lick his lips while eating; he shouldn’t receive the drinking-water vessel with a hand soiled with food. The senior monk shouldn’t receive water for washing until all the monks are finished eating. When given water, a monk should receive it while holding his bowl with both hands. Holding the bowl low, he should rinse it carefully without scratching it. If there’s someone to receive the water, he should hold his bowl low and pour the water into the container,

On one occasion the nuns bathed at a ford for men. People complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” They told the Buddha. “A nun shouldn’t bathe at a ford for men. If she does, she commits an offense of wrong conduct. A nun should bathe at a ford for women.” The third section for recitation is finished. The tenth chapter on nuns is finished. In this chapter there are one hundred topics.

trying to avoid splashing the person receiving the water, the monks sitting nearby, and his upper robe. If there’s no-one to receive the water, he should hold his bowl low and pour the water on the ground, trying to avoid splashing the monks sitting nearby and his upper robe. He shouldn’t discard bowl-washing water containing rice in inhabited areas. When returning, the junior monks should go first and then the senior monks. A monk should be well-covered while walking in inhabited areas; he should be well-restrained while walking in inhabited areas; he should lower his eyes while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t lift his robe while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t laugh loudly while walking in inhabited areas;

“Yes, doctor.” “And why did you do it?” When that man had told him what had happened, Jīvaka complained and criticized the monks, “How could the venerables allow one with the five diseases to go forth?” He went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Please, sir, may the venerables not allow those with the five diseases to go forth.” The Buddha instructed, inspired, and gladdened him with a teaching. Jīvaka then got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left. Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

“On the day of the entry to the rainy-season residence, you shouldn’t deliberately bypass a monastery because you don’t want to enter the rainy-season residence. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” At one time King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha wanted to postpone the rains residence. He sent a message to the monks: “Would the venerables please enter the rains residence during the next waxing phase of the moon?” They told the Buddha. “You should comply with the wishes of kings.” 3. The allowance for seven-day business When the Buddha had stayed at Rājagaha for as long as he liked, he set out wandering toward Sāvatthī. When he eventually arrived, he stayed in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.

“I allow a powder sieve.” They needed finely sifted powder. “I allow a cloth sieve.” On one occasion a monk was possessed by a spirit. His teacher and preceptor who were nursing him were not able to cure him. He then went to a pigs’ slaughterhouse to eat raw meat and drink blood. As a result, he became well. They told the Buddha. “For one who is possessed, I allow raw meat and raw blood.” At that time a monk was afflicted with an eye-disease.

Thus the true Teaching was injured. Not to mention he would make a dyke, Again he stabilized the true Teaching; To ordain, venerable, Bow down according to seniority. They will not, how then, Common, not in common; Instruction, and Monastic Code, Who, dwelling place. And they do not know, he told,

The monks had to hold him while he urinated and defecated. Just then, as the Buddha was walking about the dwellings, he noticed this. He then went up to them and said, “What sickness does this monk have?” “He has an eye-disease, sir. That’s why we do this for him.” Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “I allow these ointments: black ointment, mixed ointment, river ointment, red ocher, and soot.” They needed scented ointments. “I allow sandal, crape jasmine, Indian valerian, coffee plum, and nut grass.”
