“Well then, I’ll lay down the proper conduct for a student toward his preceptor. A student should conduct himself properly toward his preceptor. This is the proper conduct: Meals and almsround Having gotten up at the appropriate time, the student should remove his sandals and arrange his upper robe over one shoulder. 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’s 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. If the place is dirty, he should sweep it. If the preceptor wants to enter the village, the student should give him a sarong and receive the one he’s wearing in return. He should give him a belt. He should put the upper robes together, overlapping each other edge-to-edge, and then give them to him. He should rinse his preceptor’s bowl and give it to him while wet.

Still others said, “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion, the thirteen rules entailing suspension, the two undetermined rules, and the thirty rules entailing relinquishment and confession, the rest are the minor training rules.” Still others said, “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion, the thirteen rules entailing suspension, the two undetermined rules, the thirty rules entailing relinquishment and confession, and the ninety-two rules entailing confession, the rest are the minor training rules.” Still others said, “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion, the thirteen rules entailing suspension, the two undetermined rules, the thirty rules entailing relinquishment and confession, the ninety-two rules entailing confession, and the four rules entailing acknowledgment, the rest are the minor training rules.” Then Venerable Mahākassapa informed the Sangha: “Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. We have training rules that relate to householders. The householders know

It was difficult to get up to the water-boiling sheds. “I allow three kinds of stairs: stairs of brick, stone, and wood.” People fell down while climbing the stairs. “I allow rails.” The water-boiling sheds didn’t have doors. “I allow doors, door frames, lower hinges, upper hinges, door jambs, bolt sockets, bolts, latches, keyholes, door-pulling holes, and door-pulling ropes.” Grass and dust fell into the water-boiling sheds. “I allow you to firm up the structure and then to plaster it inside and outside, including: treating with white color, black color, and red ocher; making garland patterns, creeper patterns, shark-teeth patterns, and the fivefold pattern; putting up bamboo robe racks and clotheslines.”

If the preceptor wants an attendant, the student should put on his sarong evenly all around, covering the navel and the knees. He should put on a belt. Putting the upper robes together, overlapping each other edge-to-edge, he should put them on and fasten the toggle. He should rinse his bowl, bring it along, and be his preceptor’s attendant. He shouldn’t walk too far behind his preceptor or too close to him. He should receive the contents of his bowl. He shouldn’t interrupt his preceptor when he’s speaking. 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.

Thieves stole that robe, and as a result he became poorly dressed. When other monks asked him why, he told them what had happened. “You shouldn’t enter a village in just your sarong and upper robe. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” Soon afterwards Venerable Ānanda, being absentminded, entered a village in just his sarong and upper robe. The monks said to him, “Hasn’t the Buddha laid down a rule against entering the village in just a sarong and an upper robe?” Ānanda told them what had happened.

In this chapter there are five topics. This is the summary: “Those on probation consented to The regular monks Bowing down to them, standing up, And raising their joined palms, acting respectfully. Offering a seat, a bed, Foot, stool, scraper; Bowl, massaging when bathing, And the good monks criticized them.

If there’s almsfood and his preceptor wants to eat, the student should give him water and then the almsfood. He should ask his preceptor if he wants water to drink. When the preceptor has eaten, the student should give him water and receive his bowl. Holding it low, he should wash it carefully without scratching it. He should then dry it and sun it for a short while, but shouldn’t leave it in the heat. The student should put away the robe and bowl. When putting away the bowl, he should hold the bowl in one hand, feel under the bed or the bench with the other, and then put it away. He shouldn’t put the bowl away on the bare floor. When putting away the robe, he should hold the robe in one hand, wipe the bamboo robe rack or the clothesline with the other, and then put it away by folding the robe over it, making the ends face the wall and the fold face out. When the preceptor has gotten up, the student should put away the seat and also the foot stool, the foot scraper, and the water for washing the feet. If the place is dirty, he should sweep it.”

They told the Buddha. “There are five reasons for leaving behind the outer robe, the upper robe, or the sarong: you’re sick; it’s the rainy season; you’re going to cross a river; the dwelling is protected by a door; you have participated in the robe-making ceremony. There are five reasons for leaving behind the rainy-season robe: you’re sick; you’re going outside the monastery zone; you’re going to cross a river; the dwelling is protected by a door; the rainy-season robe hasn’t been sewn or is unfinished.” 21. Discussion of robe-cloth given to the Sangha At that time a certain monk had spent the rainy season by himself. People gave him robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. “The Buddha has laid down that a sangha consists of a group of at least four,

treating with white color, black color, and red ocher; making garland patterns, creeper patterns, shark-teeth patterns, and the fivefold pattern.” The monasteries were muddy. “I allow you to cover them with gravel.” They were unable to do it. “I allow you to lay paving stones.” The water remained. “I allow water drains.” On one occasion King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha wanted to build a stilt house smeared with clay plaster for the Sangha. The monks thought, “Which roofing materials has the Buddha allowed and which hasn’t he?”

“If the preceptor wants to bathe, the student should prepare a bath. If he wants a cold bath, he should prepare that; if he wants a hot bath, he should prepare that. If the preceptor wants to take a sauna, the student should knead bath powder, moisten the clay, take a sauna bench, and follow behind his preceptor. After giving his preceptor the sauna bench, receiving his robe, and putting it aside, he should give him the bath powder and the clay. If he’s able, he should enter the sauna. When entering the sauna, he should smear his face with clay, cover himself front and back, and then enter. He shouldn’t sit encroaching on the senior monks, or block the junior monks from getting a seat. While in the sauna, he should provide assistance to his preceptor. When leaving the sauna, he should take the sauna bench, cover himself front and back, and then leave.

He told the Buddha. “I allow a competent and capable monk to have two novice monks attend on him, or however many he’s able to teach and instruct.” 42. Discussion of the training rules Soon afterwards the novices thought, “How many training rules do we have that we should train in?” They told the Buddha. … “There are ten training rules for the novice monks: Abstention from killing living beings Abstention from stealing Abstention from sexual activity

he said to them, “I hope you’re keeping well, monks, I hope you’re getting by? I hope you’re not tired from traveling? And where have you come from?” “We’re keeping well, sir, we’re getting by,” and they told him what had happened. Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “If there is no attendant, but you see fruit, I allow you to pick it up yourself. You should then carry it until you see an attendant, put it on the ground, and have it received. You may then eat it. I allow you to receive what you have picked up.” On one occasion a certain brahmin had obtained fresh sesame seed and fresh honey.

but I’m here by myself. Now these people have given robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. Let me take it to Sāvatthī.” He then took that robe-cloth to Sāvatthī and told the Buddha what had happened. The Buddha said, “This robe-cloth is yours until the end of the robe season. It may be that a monk spends the rainy season by himself, yet people give him robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. That robe-cloth is his until the end of the robe season.” At one time a certain monk was living by himself outside the rainy season.

“I allow five kinds of roofing materials: tiles, slate, plaster, grass, and leaves.” The first section for recitation is finished. The second section for recitation 2.1 The account of Anāthapiṇḍika At that time the householder Anāthapiṇḍika had a brother in law in Rājagaha who was a wealthy merchant. On one occasion when Anāthapiṇḍika was in Rājagaha on business, that merchant had invited the Sangha headed by the Buddha for the meal on the following day. The merchant was telling his slaves and workers to get up early, to cook rice and congee, and to prepare various kinds of curry.

He should also provide assistance to his preceptor in the water. When he has bathed, he should be the first to come out. He should dry himself and put on his sarong. He should then wipe the water off his preceptor’s body, and he should give him his sarong and then his upper robe. Taking the sauna bench, he should be the first to return. He should prepare a seat, and also set out a foot stool, a foot scraper, and water for washing the feet. He should ask his preceptor if he wants water to drink. If the preceptor wants him to recite, he should do so. If the preceptor wants to question him, he should be questioned.” “If the dwelling where the preceptor is staying is dirty, the student should clean it if he’s able. When he’s cleaning the dwelling, he should first take out the bowl and robe and put them aside. He should take out the sitting mat and the sheet and put them aside. He should take out the mattress and the pillow and put them aside. Holding the bed low, he should carefully take it out without scratching it or knocking it against the door or the door frame, and he should put it aside.

Abstention from lying Abstention from alcoholic drinks that cause heedlessness Abstention from eating at the wrong time Abstention from dancing, singing, music, and seeing shows Abstention from wearing garlands and using scents and cosmetics Abstention from high and luxurious resting places Abstention from receiving gold, silver, and money.” Soon the novice monks were being disrespectful, undeferential, and rude toward the monks. The monks complained and criticized them, “How can the novices behave like this?”

People gave him robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. “The Buddha has laid down that a sangha consists of a group of at least four, but I’m here by myself. Now these people have given robe-cloth, intending it for the Sangha. Let me take it to Sāvatthī.” He then took that robe-cloth to Sāvatthī and told the monks, who in turn told the Buddha. He said, “The present Sangha should distribute it.

Anāthapiṇḍika thought, “When I’ve arrived here previously, this householder put aside all his business to greet me. But this time he’s all over the place, telling his workers what to do. Is he preparing for a wedding or a great sacrifice, or has he invited King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha and the army for a meal?” When the merchant was finished with instructing his workers, he went up to Anāthapiṇḍika, greeted him, and sat down. Anāthapiṇḍika then told him what he had observed and asked him what was happening. The merchant replied, “I’m not preparing for a wedding, nor have I invited King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha and the army. I’m preparing for a great sacrifice.

Holding the bench low, he should carefully take it out without scratching it or knocking it against the door or the door frame, and he should put it aside. He should take out the bed supports and put them aside. He should take out the spittoon and put it aside. He should take out the leaning board and put it aside. After taking note of its position, he should take out the floor cover and put it aside. If the dwelling has cobwebs, he should first remove them from the ceiling cloth, and he should then wipe the windows and the corners of the room. If the walls have been treated with red ocher and they’re moldy, he should moisten a cloth, wring it out, and wipe the walls. If the floor has been treated with a black finish and it’s moldy, he should moisten a cloth, wring it out, and wipe the floor. If the floor is untreated, he should sprinkle it with water and then sweep it, trying to avoid stirring up dust.

They told the Buddha. … “I allow you to penalize a novice monk who has five qualities: He’s trying to stop monks from getting material support He’s trying to harm monks He’s trying to make monks lose their place of residence He abuses and reviles monks He causes division between monks.” The monks didn’t know which penalty to impose. They told the Buddha.
