If the restroom is dirty, he should clean it. If the wiping-stick container is full, he should discard the wiping sticks. If the restroom is dirty, he should sweep it. If the area surrounding the restroom is dirty, he should sweep it. If the yard is dirty, he should sweep it. If the gatehouse is dirty, he should sweep it. If there’s no water in the restroom ablutions pot, he should fill it. This is the proper conduct in regard to restrooms.” 11. Discussion of the proper conduct toward a preceptor At that time the students were not conducting themselves properly toward their preceptors.

Mahākassapa also asked Ānanda about the origin story of ‘The Supreme Net’ and about the person. “Where was ‘The Fruits of the Monastic Life’ spoken?” “In Jīvaka’s Mango Grove at Rājagaha.” “Who is it with?” “Ajātasattu Vedehiputta.” Mahākassapa also asked Ānanda about the origin story of ‘The Fruits of the Monastic Life’ and about the person. In this way he asked about the five collections. Ānanda was able to reply to each and every question. 2. Discussion of the minor training rules Ānanda said to the senior monks,

Venerable Ānanda thought, “Previously, when the Buddha had a stomachache, he was comfortable after drinking the threefold pungent congee.” He then asked for sesame seeds, rice, and mung beans, stored them indoors, cooked them himself indoors, and brought them to the Buddha, saying, “Sir, please drink the threefold pungent congee.” When Buddhas know what is going on, sometimes they ask and sometimes not. They know the right time to ask and when not to ask. Buddhas ask when it is beneficial, otherwise not, for Buddhas are incapable of doing what is unbeneficial. Buddhas question the monks for two reasons: to give a teaching or to lay down a training rule. So he said to Ānanda, “Ānanda, where does this congee come from?” Ānanda told him.

you should determine a sheet, not assign it to another; you should determine an itch-covering cloth for as long as you’re sick, and apart from that assign it to another; you should determine a washcloth, not assign it to another; you should determine a cloth for requisites, not assign it to another.” The monks thought, “What’s the size of the smallest robe-cloth that can be assigned to another?” “The smallest robe-cloth you should assign to another is one that’s eight standard fingerbreadths long and four wide.” At that time Venerable Mahākassapa’s rag robes were heavy. “I allow you to mend roughly with thread.” The corners became deformed.

And that’s what I do. We’re separate in body, but it might seem as if we’re one in mind.” Nandiya and Kimila then repeated what Anuruddha had said. “I hope, Anuruddha, that you’re heedful and energetic?” “Yes, sir, we are.” “And how is it that you’re heedful and energetic?” “Whoever returns first from almsround in the village, he prepares the seats and sets out a foot stool, a foot scraper, and water for washing the feet. He washes the bowl for leftovers and puts it back out, and sets out water for drinking and water for washing. Whoever returns last from almsround may eat the leftovers, or he discards them where there are no cultivated plants or in water without life. He puts away the seats and also the foot stool, the foot scraper, and the water for washing the feet. He washes the bowl for leftovers and puts it away, puts away the water for drinking and the water for washing, and sweeps the dining hall.

“At the time of his final extinguishment, the Buddha said to me, ‘After my passing away, Ānanda, if the Sangha wishes, it may abolish the minor training rules.’” “But, Ānanda, did you ask the Buddha what the minor training rules are?” “No, sirs, I didn’t.” Some senior monks said, “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion, the rest are the minor training rules.” “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion and the thirteen rules entailing suspension, the rest are the minor training rules.” Still others said, “Apart from the four rules entailing expulsion, the thirteen rules entailing suspension, and the two undetermined rules, the rest are the minor training rules.”

The Buddha rebuked him, “It’s not suitable, Ānanda, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done. How could you be so indulgent? What’s been stored indoors in a monastery is unallowable; what’s been cooked indoors in a monastery is unallowable; what’s been cooked by oneself is unallowable. This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking him, he gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “You shouldn’t eat what’s been stored indoors in a monastery, what’s been cooked indoors in a monastery, or what you have cooked yourself. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.

“I allow you to remove the deformity.” The cloth frayed. “I allow you to add a lengthwise border and a crosswise border.” On one occasion the panels of an outer robe were breaking up. “I allow you to darn.” At one time, while making a set of three robes for a monk, there was not enough cloth to make all three out of pieces. “I allow two robes made of pieces and one that isn’t.” There was not enough cloth to make two out of pieces. “I allow one robe made of pieces and two that are not.” There was not enough cloth to make one out of pieces.

The water remained. “I allow water drains.” At that time the monks made fireplaces here and there in the yards. The yards became dirty. “I allow you to build water-boiling sheds out of the way.” They built the water-boiling sheds on a low base. They were flooded. “I allow you to raise the base.” The mound collapsed. “I allow you to construct three kinds of raised foundations: raised foundations of brick, stone, and wood.”

For the second time, I go for refuge to the Buddha, For the second time, I go for refuge to the Teaching, For the second time, I go for refuge to the Sangha. For the third time, I go for refuge to the Buddha, For the third time, I go for refuge to the Teaching, For the third time, I go for refuge to the Sangha.’” And Sāriputta gave Rāhula the going forth. Soon afterwards Suddhodana went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, I want to ask for a favor.” “Buddhas don’t grant favors, Gotama.”

If you eat what’s been stored indoors in a monastery, cooked indoors in a monastery, and cooked by yourselves, you commit three offenses of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored indoors in a monastery, cooked indoors in a monastery, but cooked by others, you commit two offenses of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored indoors in a monastery, but cooked outside, yet cooked by yourselves, you commit two offenses of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored outside, but cooked indoors in a monastery, and cooked by yourselves, you commit two offenses of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored indoors in a monastery, but cooked outside, and cooked by others, you commit one offense of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored outside, but cooked indoors in a monastery, yet cooked by others, you commit one offense of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored outside, and cooked outside, but cooked by yourselves, you commit one offense of wrong conduct. If you eat what’s been stored outside, and cooked outside, and cooked by others, there is no offense.” When the monks heard that the Buddha had prohibited cooking,

this is called an unwholesome legal issue arising from an offense. What’s an indeterminate legal issue arising from an offense? When one transgresses, not knowing, not perceiving, not having intended, not having decided— this is called an indeterminate legal issue arising from an offense.” Ethical qualities of legal issues arising from business “Is a legal issue arising from business wholesome, unwholesome, or indeterminate? A legal issue arising from business may be wholesome, unwholesome, or indeterminate. What’s a wholesome legal issue arising from business? When the Sangha does a legal procedure with a wholesome mind— whether a procedure consisting of getting permission, a procedure consisting of one motion, a procedure consisting of one motion and one announcement, or a procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements—

“I allow cooking indoors.” Because of the famine, the attendants took more for themselves and gave less to the monks. “I allow you to cook. I allow you to store food indoors in a monastery, to cook indoors in a monastery, and to cook yourselves.” 6. Receiving what has been picked up On one occasion a number of monks who had completed the rainy-season residence in Kāsi were traveling to Rājagaha to visit the Buddha. While on their way, they did not receive sufficient food, whether fine or coarse. Yet there was much fruit, but no attendant to offer it. When the monks arrived at Rājagaha, they were exhausted. They went to the Bamboo Grove, approached the Buddha, bowed, and sat down. Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly-arrived monks,

Soon the monks at Kosambī said, “Well then, let’s go to Sāvatthī and resolve this legal issue in the presence of the Buddha.” 6. The account of the eighteen grounds The monks at Kosambī put their dwellings in order, took their bowls and robes, and went to Sāvatthī. When Venerable Sāriputta heard that they were coming, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, adding, “Sir, how should I act toward these monks?” “Take your stand in accordance with the Teaching.” “And how do I know what accords with the Teaching and what doesn’t?”

An offense of wrong conduct for one who consents, Mutual, five things according to seniority; The observance day, the invitation ceremony, Rainy-season robes, invitations, meals. And proper conduct there, Walking in front of a regular one; And whatever is the last, And just so attending on. Wilderness, alms, bringing back, About new arrivals, on the observance day;

this is called a wholesome legal issue arising from business. What’s an unwholesome legal issue arising from business? When the Sangha does a legal procedure with an unwholesome mind— whether a procedure consisting of getting permission, a procedure consisting of one motion, a procedure consisting of one motion and one announcement, or a procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements— this is called an unwholesome legal issue arising from business. What’s an indeterminate legal issue arising from business? When the Sangha does a legal procedure with an indeterminate mind— whether a procedure consisting of getting permission, a procedure consisting of one motion, a procedure consisting of one motion and one announcement, or a procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements— this is called an indeterminate legal issue arising from business.” Relationship between disputes and legal issues

“There are eighteen grounds for knowing that someone is speaking contrary to the Teaching: A monk proclaims what’s contrary to the Teaching as being in accordance with it, and what’s in accordance with the Teaching as contrary to it. He proclaims what’s contrary to the Monastic Law as being in accordance with it, and what’s in accordance with the Monastic Law as contrary to it. He proclaims what hasn’t been spoken by the Buddha as spoken by him, and what’s been spoken by the Buddha as not spoken by him. He proclaims what wasn’t practiced by the Buddha as practiced by him, and what was practiced by the Buddha as not practiced by him. He proclaims what wasn’t laid down by the Buddha as laid down by him,

On the invitation day, by messenger, And he may go to a place with monks. And in the same room, getting up, And just so he should invite; On a seat, on a lower, on a walking path, On the ground, and with walking path. With one who is more senior, invalid, And stop the counting, fulfilling; Setting aside, taking up, Just the duties for one on probation.

‘Please come, I’m sick.’ Then, even if you’re not asked, let alone if you are, you should go for seven days, thinking, ‘I’ll look for food for the sick,’ ‘I’ll look for food for the nurses,’ ‘I’ll look for medicine,’ ‘I’ll enquire about his sickness,’ or ‘I’ll nurse him.’ But you should return within seven days.” 6. The allowance to go only when asked “It may be that a monk’s brother is sick and sends a message to his brother: ‘Please come, I’m sick.’ You should go for seven days, but only if you’re asked. And you should return within seven days. It may be that a monk’s sister is sick and sends a message to her brother:

“Why don’t I give this to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha?” He then went to the Buddha, exchanged pleasantries with him, “Please accept tomorrow’s meal from me together with the Sangha of monks.” The Buddha consented by remaining silent. Knowing that the Buddha had consented, the brahmin left. The following morning that brahmin had various kinds of fine foods prepared. He then had the Buddha informed that the meal was ready. The Buddha robed up, took his bowl and robe, and went to that brahmin’s house where he sat down on the prepared seat. That brahmin personally served various kinds of fine foods to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha. When the Buddha had finished his meal, the brahmin sat down to one side. The Buddha then instructed, inspired, and gladdened him with a teaching, after which he got up and left.
