“I allow you to add a further supply. But you shouldn’t wear robes none of which are cut into pieces. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” On one occasion a monk who had been given much robe-cloth wanted to give it to his mother and father. “If you’re giving to your mother and father, what can I say? I allow you to give to your mother and father. But, monks, a gift of faith shouldn’t be ruined. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” On one occasion a monk left one of his robes in the Blind Men’s Grove and then entered the village for alms in just his sarong and upper robe.
