“Is it true, monks, that the resident monks are acting like this?” “It’s true, sir.” … After rebuking them … the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “Well then, I’ll lay down the proper conduct for resident monks. When a resident monk sees a newly-arrived monk who is senior to him, he should prepare a seat, and put out a foot stool, a foot scraper, and water for washing the feet. He should go out to meet him to receive his bowl and robe, and ask if he wants water to drink. If he’s able, he should wipe his sandals, first with a dry cloth and then with a wet one. He should wash the cloth and spread it out. If the newly-arrived monk is senior to him, the resident monk should bow down to him.
