“You shouldn’t be without a sitting mat for a period of four months. If you are, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” At that time the monks from the group of six slept in beds covered in flowers. When people walking about the dwellings saw this, they complained and criticized them, “They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!” “You shouldn’t sleep in a bed covered in flowers. If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.” Soon, people brought scents and garlands to the monastery. Being afraid of wrongdoing, the monks did not accept. “I allow you to accept scent to make the five-finger mark on your door and to accept flowers to place to one side in your dwelling.”
