For everyone, and even level. Respectfully, and attention on the bowl, And in order, bean curry; Not from a heap, should cover, Asking, finding fault. Large, rounded, mouth, The whole hand, he should not speak; Lifted, breaking up, cheeks, Shaking, scattering rice. And sticking out his tongue,

After rejoicing in the Buddha’s words, they got up from their seats, bowed down, circumambulated him with their right sides toward him, and left. When the Buddha had stayed at Koṭigāma for as long as he liked, he went to Nātikā, where he stayed in the brick guesthouse. The following morning Ambapālī had various kinds of fine foods prepared in her own park. She then had the Buddha informed that the meal was ready. The Buddha robed up, took his bowl and robe, and went to Ambapālī’s meal offering where he sat down on the prepared seat together with the Sangha of monks. Ambapālī personally served various kinds of fine foods to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha. When the Buddha had finished his meal, she sat down to one side and said, “Sir, I give this mango grove to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha.” The Buddha accepted the park. After instructing, inspiring, and gladdening her with a teaching, he got up from his seat and went to the Great Wood near Vesālī, where he stayed in the hall with the peaked roof.

“I don’t actually know whether this was an offense or not, whether I’ve committed one or not, whether I’ve been ejected or not, whether it was legitimate or not, whether it’s reversible or not, whether it’s fit to stand or not. Let me go to Campā and ask the Buddha.” He then put his dwelling in order, took his bowl and robe, and set out for Campā. When he eventually arrived, he went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down. Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly-arrived monks, the Buddha said to Kassapagotta, “I hope you’re keeping well, monk, I hope you’re getting by? I hope you’re not tired from traveling? And where have you come from?” “I’m keeping well, sir, I’m getting by.

So-and-so is seeking the full ordination with venerable so-and-so. If the Sangha is ready, I will ask so-and-so about the obstacles. Listen, so-and-so. Now is the time for you to tell the truth. I will ask you about various matters. If something is true, you should say, “Yes,” and if it’s not, you should say, “No.” Do you have any of these diseases: leprosy, abscesses, mild leprosy, tuberculosis, or epilepsy?

The monks thought, “How many kinds of invitation procedures are there?” “There are four kinds: The invitation procedure that is illegitimate and has an incomplete assembly.

19. What is not to be given away At one time in a village monastery not far from Sāvatthī the resident monks were fed up with assigning dwellings to monks who were coming and going. They considered this and thought, “Well, let’s give all the dwellings belonging to the Sangha to one of us. We’ll then use what belongs to him.” And they did just that. When newly-arrived monks said to them, “Please assign us a dwelling,” they replied, “There aren’t any dwellings belonging to the Sangha. We’ve given them to one monk.”

This is the proper conduct in regard to dining halls. Shabbily dressed, improper in appearance, And non-attentive, hasty; Far, too near, long, soon, Just so the alms collector. He should go covered, Well-restrained, lowered eyes; Lifted, laugh loudly, without noise, And three on swaying. Hands on hips, covering the head, squatting on the heels,

This is the meaning of face-to-face with the Teaching and the Monastic Law: the Teaching, the Monastic Law, the Teacher’s instruction—that by which that legal issue is resolved. This is the meaning of face-to-face with the persons concerned: both the one who confesses and the one he confesses to are present. This is the meaning of covering over as if with grass: the doing of, the performing of, the participation in, the consent to, the agreement to, the non-objection to that legal procedure of covering over as if with grass. When a legal issue has been resolved like this, if a receiver of the confession reopens it, he incurs an offense entailing confession for the reopening. If anyone who gave their consent criticizes the resolution, they incur an offense entailing confession. There’s one way of settling a legal issue arising from business: by resolution face-to-face.”
