“A nun should go to the half-monthly instruction. If she doesn’t, she should be dealt with according to the rule.” At that time the entire Sangha of nuns went to the half-monthly instruction. People complained and criticized them, “They’re their wives! They’re their mistresses! Now they’re going to enjoy themselves together.” They told the Buddha. “The whole Sangha of nuns shouldn’t go to the half-monthly instruction. If it does, there’s an offense of wrong conduct. Four or five nuns should go to the instruction.” Soon afterwards four or five nuns went to the half-monthly instruction.
