They were pleasing in their conduct: in going out and coming back, in looking ahead and looking aside, in bending and stretching their arms. Their eyes were lowered, and they were perfect in deportment. One morning a wealthy merchant of Rājagaha was going to a park when he saw those monks. Being inspired, he approached them and said, “If I build dwellings, sirs, would you stay in them?” “The Buddha hasn’t allowed dwellings.” “Well then, please ask the Buddha and let me know his response.” Those monks then went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, a wealthy merchant in Rājagaha wants to build dwellings.

This is the summary: “Gotamī asked for the going forth, The Buddha did not allow it; Kapilavatthu to Vesāli, Did the Leader go. At the gatehouse covered in dust, Declared to Ānanda; He asked wisely about capability, About mother and upbringing. One hundred years and that very day,

At this time Venerable Ānanda’s preceptor, Venerable Belaṭṭhasīsa, had carbuncles, the pus making his robes adhere to his body. The monks kept on wetting his robes to remove the pus. As the Buddha was walking about the dwellings, he noticed this. He went up to them and said, “What sickness does this monk have?” “He has carbuncles, sir. That’s why we’re doing this.” Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “For anyone who has an itch, a boil, a running sore, a carbuncle, or whose body smells, I allow medicinal powders. If you’re not sick, I allow detergent, soap, and cleaning agents. And I allow a mortar and pestle.” Soon afterwards the sick monks needed sifted medicinal powders.

And this is how he should be appointed. First a monk should be asked, and then a competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha: ‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. If the Sangha is ready, it should appoint monk so-and-so as the distributor of robe-cloth. This is the motion. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The Sangha appoints monk so-and-so as the distributor of robe-cloth. Any monk who approves of appointing monk so-and-so as the distributor of robe-cloth should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

He shouldn’t cancel the invitation of a regular monk. He shouldn’t direct a regular monk. He shouldn’t give instructions to a regular monk. He shouldn’t ask a regular monk for permission to accuse him of an offense. He shouldn’t accuse a regular monk of an offense. He shouldn’t remind a regular monk of an offense. He shouldn’t associate inappropriately with other monks. He shouldn’t walk in front of a regular monk. He shouldn’t sit in front of a regular monk. He should be given the last seat, the last bed, and the last dwelling of the Sangha, and he should consent to that.

then that acting according to what’s been admitted is legitimate. It may be that a monk has committed an offense entailing suspension … a serious offense … an offense entailing confession … an offense entailing acknowledgment … an offense of wrong conduct … an offense of wrong speech. The Sangha, several monks, or a single monk accuses him, saying, ‘Venerable, you’ve committed an offense of wrong speech.’ ‘Yes, I’ve committed an offense of wrong speech.’

What should we do?” Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “I allow five kinds of shelters: dwellings, three kinds of stilt houses, and caves.” The monks went to that merchant and said, “The Buddha has allowed dwellings. Please do as you think appropriate.” Then, on a single day, that merchant built sixty dwellings. When the dwellings were finished, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, please accept tomorrow’s meal from me together with the Sangha of monks.”

he shouldn’t be noisy while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t sway his body while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t swing his arms while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t sway his head while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t have his hands on his hips while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t cover his head while walking in inhabited areas; he shouldn’t move about while squatting on his heels in inhabited areas. This is the proper conduct in relation to dining halls.” The first section for recitation is finished. 6. Discussion of the proper conduct for alms collectors

Without monks, seeking; Invitation, heavy offense, Two years, not abusing. And may not, eight principles, Practicing all one’s life; Receiving the important principles, That was her ordination. A thousand years, just five, Thieves, whiteheads; Red rot, with similes,

The Sangha has appointed monk so-and-so as the distributor of robe-cloth. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’” The monks who were the distributors of robe-cloth thought, “How should we distribute the robe-cloth?” “You should first sort the cloth, then estimate its value, followed by grouping it according to value, counting the monks, gathering the monks into groups, and finally fixing the shares of robe-cloth.” The monks who were distributors of robe-cloth thought, “What share of the robe-cloth should we give to the novices?” “I allow you to give half a share to the novices.” On one occasion a monk wanted to take his own share and leave. “You should give a share to one who’s leaving.”

we won’t bow down, stand up, raise our joined palms, or do acts of respect toward one another according to seniority. Because of this, there’ll be arguments and disputes in the Sangha; there’ll be schism, fracture, and separation in the Sangha,’ and if he understands the gravity of schism, he should confess the offense even out of confidence in the others.” The Buddha then got up from his seat and left. Monks belonging to different Buddhist sects Soon those monks who sided with the ejected monk did the observance-day ceremony and legal procedures right there within the monastery zone. But the monks who had ejected him went outside the monastery zone and did the observance-day ceremony and legal procedures there. One of the monks who had done the ejecting went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and told him what was happening. The Buddha replied: “If those monks who side with the ejected monk do the observance-day ceremony and legal procedures right there within the monastery zone, and it’s in accordance with the motion and announcements as I’ve laid them down, then those procedures are legitimate, irreversible, and fit to stand. And if you, the monks who did the ejecting, do the observance-day ceremony and legal procedures right there within the monastery zone, and it’s in accordance with the motion and announcements as I’ve laid them down, then those procedures too are legitimate, irreversible, and fit to stand. This is so because you now belong to a different Buddhist sect.

The Buddha consented by remaining silent. Knowing that the Buddha had consented, he got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left. The next morning he had various kinds of fine foods prepared and then had the Buddha informed that the meal was ready. The Buddha robe up, took his bowl and robe, and went to the house of that merchant where he sat down on the prepared seat together with the Sangha of monks. That merchant personally served various kinds of fine foods to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha. When the Buddha had finished his meal and had washed his hands and bowl, the merchant sat down to one side “Sir, I’ve had these sixty dwellings built in order to make merit and for the purpose of going to heaven. What should I do now?” “Well then, give those sixty dwellings to the Sangha as a whole, both present and future.” Saying, “Yes, sir,” he did just that.

At that time the lay follower Udena had had a dwelling built for the Sangha in the Kosalan country. He sent a message to the monks: “Please come, venerables, I wish to make an offering, hear the Teaching, and see the monks.” The monks replied, “The Buddha has laid down a rule that a monk who’s entered the rains residence shouldn’t go wandering until after the rains. Please wait, Udena. Once we’ve completed the rains residence, we’ll come. But if the matter is urgent, then give the dwelling in the presence of the local monks.” Udena complained and criticized them,

‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. If the Sangha is ready, it should appoint monk so-and-so as the manager of the vote. This is the motion. Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen. The Sangha appoints monk so-and-so as the manager of the vote. Any monk who approves of appointing monk so-and-so as the manager of the vote should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up. The Sangha has appointed monk so-and-so as the manager of the vote. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’ There are ten reasons why a vote is illegitimate:

Is praised as the best by the Buddha. Therefore the wise man, Seeing what’s beneficial for himself, Should build delightful dwellings And have the learned stay there. Food, drink, robes, and dwellings— With an inspired mind, He should give to them, The upright ones. They will give him the Teaching

the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “Well then, I’ll lay down the proper conduct for alms-collecting monks. When an alms-collecting monk is about to enter the village, he 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 enter the village carefully and without hurry. He should be well-covered while walking in an 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; he shouldn’t be noisy while walking in inhabited areas;

The group associated inappropriately. Non-respect, penalty, So again the nuns; And restriction, instruction, Is it allowable, he set out wandering. Ignorant, reason, investigation, Instruction, Sangha, with five; Two or three, they did not agree, Ignorant ones, sick, departing. Forest-dweller, without telling,

I allow ointment boxes made of bone, ivory, horn, reed, bamboo, wood, resin, fruit, metal, and shell.” At that time the ointment boxes were not covered. The ointment was contaminated with grass, dust, and dirt. “I allow a lid.” The lids fell off. “I allow you to tie it onto the ointment box with a string.” The ointment boxes split. “I allow you to sew it together with thread.” At that time the monks put the ointment on with their fingers. As a result their eyes hurt. “I allow an ointment stick.” Soon afterwards the monks from the group of six used luxurious ointment sticks

“I allow a basin for dye, a waterpot for dye.” The monks were kneading the robes in basins and bowls. The robes tore. “I allow a dyeing trough.” The monks spread the robes on the ground. The robes became dirty. “I allow a spread of grass.” The grass was eaten by termites. “I allow a bamboo robe rack and a clothesline.” They hung up the robes by the middle.

He may go from a monastery or non-monastery with monks to a non-monastery with monks who belong to the same Buddhist sect if he knows he’ll be able to arrive on the same day. He may go from a monastery or non-monastery with monks to a monastery or non-monastery with monks who belong to the same Buddhist sect if he knows he’ll be able to arrive on the same day. He shouldn’t, in a monastery, stay in the same room as a regular monk. He shouldn’t, in a non-monastery, stay in the same room as a regular monk.

He shouldn’t sit on the same seat as a regular monk. He shouldn’t sit on a higher seat than a regular monk. He shouldn’t sit on a seat when a regular monk is sitting on the ground.
