“I allow lids.” Because they were defecating outdoors, the monks were troubled by the cold and the heat. “I allow restrooms.” The restrooms didn’t have doors. “I allow doors, door frames, lower hinges, upper hinges, door jambs, bolt sockets, bolts, latches, keyholes, door-pulling holes, and door-pulling ropes.” Grass and dust fell into the restrooms. “I allow you to firm up the structure and then to plaster it inside and outside, including: treating with white color, black color, and red ocher; making garland patterns, creeper patterns, shark-teeth patterns, and the fivefold pattern; putting up bamboo robe racks and clotheslines.” On one occasion a monk who was weak from old age fell over as he was getting up after defecating. “I allow suspended ropes to hold onto.”
