The Sangha has done a legal procedure of condemnation against the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka. The Sangha approves and is therefore silent. I’ll remember it thus.’” The group of twelve on illegitimate legal procedures “When a legal procedure of condemnation has three qualities, it’s illegitimate, contrary to the Monastic Law, and improperly disposed of: it’s done in the absence of the accused, it’s done without questioning the accused, it’s done without the admission of the accused. When a procedure of condemnation has another three qualities, it’s also illegitimate, contrary to the Monastic Law, and improperly disposed of: it’s done against one who hasn’t committed any offense, it’s done against one who’s committed an offense that isn’t clearable by confession, it’s done against one who’s confessed their offense.

One went to meet him to receive his bowl and robe, another prepared a seat, another set out water for washing the feet, yet another set out a foot stool, and the last one put out a foot scraper.

I will instruct you and teach you the Truth. When you practice as instructed, in this very life you will soon realize with your own insight the supreme goal of the spiritual life for which gentlemen rightly go forth into homelessness.”

“How can those foolish men eat someone else’s congee beforehand when they have been invited for a meal? This will affect people’s confidence …” After rebuking them, he gave a teaching and addressed the monks: “When you have been invited to a meal, you shouldn’t eat someone else’s rice porridge beforehand. If you do, you should be dealt with according to the rule.” 13. The account of Belaṭṭha Kaccāna When the Buddha had stayed at Andhakavinda for as long as he liked, he set out wandering toward Rājagaha together with a large sangha of twelve-hundred and fifty monks. Just then Belaṭṭha Kaccāna was traveling from Rājagaha to Andhakavinda with five hundred carts, all of them filled with jars of sugar. When the Buddha saw Belaṭṭha Kaccāna coming, he stepped off the road and sat down at the foot of a tree. Belaṭṭha Kaccāna went up to the Buddha, bowed,

Wandering on, the Buddha eventually arrived at Sāvatthī, where he stayed in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. Anāthapiṇḍika then went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, “Sir, please accept tomorrow’s meal from me together with the Sangha of monks.” The Buddha consented by remaining silent. Knowing that the Buddha had consented, Anāthapiṇḍika got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left. The following morning Anāthapiṇḍika had various kinds of fine foods prepared. He then had the Buddha informed that the meal was ready. The Buddha robed up, took his bowl and robe, and went to Anāthapiṇḍika’s house where he sat down on the prepared seat together with the Sangha of monks. Anāthapiṇḍika then personally served various kinds of fine foods to the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha.

If we ask Revata a question, he would be capable of spending the whole night answering just that one. Now, soon he will ask a pupil monk to chant.

“Friend Gotama, by practicing extreme austerities you didn’t gain any superhuman quality, any distinction in knowledge and vision worthy of noble ones. Since you have given up your striving and returned to a life of indulgence, how could you now have achieved any of this?” The Buddha said, “I haven’t given up striving and returned to a life of indulgence,” and he repeated what he had said before. A second time the group of five monks repeated their question and a second time the Buddha repeated his reply. A third time they repeated their question, and the Buddha then said, “Have you ever heard me speak like this?” “Then listen. I’m perfected and fully awakened. I have discovered the freedom from death. I will instruct you and teach you the Truth. When you practice as instructed, in this very life you will soon realize with your own insight the supreme goal of the spiritual life

“Sir, I would like to give one jar of sugar to each and every monk.” “Well then, Kaccāna, just bring one jar of sugar.” Saying, “Yes, sir,” he got a jar of sugar, returned to the Buddha, and said, “Here is the jar. What should I do next?” “Now give sugar to the monks.” Saying, “Yes, sir,” he did just that. He then said to the Buddha, “I’ve given sugar to the monks, but there’s much left over.

Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is it true, monks, that the teachers are not conducting themselves properly toward their pupils?” “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 a teacher toward his pupil.

If the teacher has a bowl, but not the pupil, the teacher should give it to him,

for which gentlemen rightly go forth into homelessness.” The Buddha was able to persuade the group of five monks. They then listened to the Buddha, paid careful attention, and applied their minds to understand. And the Buddha addressed them: “There are these two opposites that should not be pursued by one who has gone forth. One is the devotion to worldly pleasures, which is inferior, crude, common, ignoble, and unbeneficial. The other is the devotion to self-torment, which is painful, ignoble, and unbeneficial. By avoiding these opposites, I have awakened to the middle path, which produces vision and knowledge, which leads to peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment. And what, monks, is that middle path? It’s just this noble eightfold path, that is, right view, right aim, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right stillness.

What should I do with that?” “Give the monks as much sugar as they want.” Saying, “Yes, sir,” he again did as requested. Some monks filled their almsbowls and even their water filters and bags.
