(2023 derived from Ajahn Brahmali’s translation on suttacentral, correcting his erroneous views on jhāna and breath meditation)
Expulsion Pārājika
The rules in this category are known in Pali as pārājika.
The exact meaning of the Pali word is disputed, but there is no doubt that it refers to expulsion from the Sangha.
There are four such rules for the monks, all of which are shared with the nuns.
Anyone who breaches any of these rules immediately loses his status as a monk.
He is expelled from the Sangha and ineligible for re-ordination for the rest of his life.
The pārājikas, together with the next category of rules, the saṅghādisesas, are collectively known as serious offenses, garukāpatti.
These rules are the most fundamental ones for the proper living of the monastic life.
Suspension Saṅghādisesa
The rules in this category are known in Pali as saṅghādisesa.
The meaning of the word is disputed, but according to the commentary it means that the Sangha is required at the beginning (ādi) and for the rest (sesa) of the procedure.
There are thirteen such rules for the monks, seven of which are shared with the nuns.
Offenders must undergo a period of probation before being rehabilitated to their former status in the Sangha.
Undetermined Aniyata
The rules in this category are known in Pali as aniyata, “undetermined”.
There are two such rules for the monks, but none for the nuns.
These are procedures to establish a course of action when a monk is accused of behaving in a sexually inappropriate way with a woman.
Relinquishment With Confession Nissaggiya Pācittiya
The rules in this category are known in Pali as nissaggiya pācittiya,
“entailing relinquishment and confession”.
There are thirty such rules for the monks, the same number as for the nuns,
although only eighteen are held in common.
These rules, together with the remaining rules of the Monastic Code,
are classed as light offenses, lahukāpatti.
For light offenses there is usually no penalty apart from confession.
For the nissaggiya pācittiyas, however,
any item involved in the committing of an offense must be relinquished.
Once the offense has been confessed, the item is, with a few exceptions, returned to the offender.
Confession Pācittiya
The rules in this category are known in Pali as pācittiya,
“entailing confession”.
There are ninety-two such rules for the monks, seventy of which are shared with the nuns.
This is the largest class of rules in the Monastic Code.
These rules, together with all the other rules apart from those entailing expulsion and suspension, are classed as light offenses, lahukāpatti.
For light offenses there is no penalty apart from confession.
Acknowledgment Pāṭidesanīya
The rules in this category are known in Pali as pāṭidesanīya,
“entailing acknowledgement”.
There are four such rules for the monks, none of which are shared with the nuns.
What distinguishes these rules from the pācittiyas is the manner of confession.
For these rules the confession is done using a unique formula,
with the second rule being the only one in the Monastic Code where all the offenders confess together as a group.
Rules for Training Sekhiya
The rules in this category are known in Pali as sekhiya,
“involving training”.
There are seventy-five such rules, and they are the same both for the monks and the nuns.
The sekhiyas are mostly rules of etiquette.
Breaking a sekhiya is only considered to be a transgression if the offender is acting out of disrespect for the rule.
Settling Legal Issues Adhikaraṇasamatha
There are seven adhikaraṇasamathadhamma,
“principles for the settling of legal issues”,
which are the same for the nuns and the monks.
These are not rules in the ordinary sense and as such fall outside of the classification into serious and light offenses.
Instead, they set out the proper methods for dealing with legal issues.
The detailed explanation for these is found in the Samathakkhandhaka.
The legal issues to be settled through these principles fall into four categories:
disputes, accusations, offenses, and proceedings.
“Proceedings” includes monastic procedures such as ordination and the keeping of the observance day (uposatha).

Verañjakaṇḍa
At Verañjā: the origin of Monastic Law
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā verañjāyaṁ viharati naḷerupucimandamūle mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Verañjā at the foot of Naḷeru’s Nimba tree with a large Sangha of five hundred monks.
Assosi kho verañjo brāhmaṇo—
A brahmin in Verañjā was told:
----
----
“samaṇo khalu bho gotamo sakyaputto sakyakulā pabbajito verañjāyaṁ viharati naḷerupucimandamūle mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ pañcamattehi bhikkhusatehi.
“Sir, the ascetic Gotama, the Sakyan, who has gone forth from the Sakyan clan, is staying at Verañjā at the foot of Naleru’s Nimba tree with a large sangha of five hundred monks.
Taṁ kho pana bhavantaṁ gotamaṁ evaṁ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato—
That good Gotama has a fine reputation:
‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’,
‘He is a Buddha, perfected and fully awakened, complete in insight and conduct, happy, knower of the world, supreme leader of trainable people, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, a Buddha.
so imaṁ lokaṁ sadevakaṁ samārakaṁ sabrahmakaṁ sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiṁ pajaṁ sadevamanussaṁ sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti,
With his own insight he has seen this world with its gods, its lords of death, and its supreme beings, this society with its monastics and brahmins, its gods and humans, and he makes it known to others.
so dhammaṁ deseti ādikalyāṇaṁ majjhekalyāṇaṁ pariyosānakalyāṇaṁ sātthaṁ sabyañjanaṁ; kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ pakāseti;
He has a Teaching that’s good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end. It has a true goal and is well articulated. He sets out a perfectly complete and pure spiritual life.’
sādhu kho pana tathārūpānaṁ arahataṁ dassanaṁ hotī”ti.
It’s good to see such perfected ones.”

Atha kho verañjo brāhmaṇo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavatā saddhiṁ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho verañjo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
That brahmin then went to the Buddha, exchanged pleasantries with him, sat down, and said,
----
----
“sutaṁ metaṁ, bho gotama—
“I’ve heard, good Gotama,
‘na samaṇo gotamo brāhmaṇe jiṇṇe vuḍḍhe mahallake addhagate vayoanuppatte abhivādeti vā paccuṭṭheti vā āsanena vā nimantetī’ti.
that you don’t bow down to old brahmins, stand up for them, or offer them a seat.
Tayidaṁ, bho gotama, tatheva? Na hi bhavaṁ gotamo brāhmaṇe jiṇṇe vuḍḍhe mahallake addhagate vayoanuppatte abhivādeti vā paccuṭṭheti vā āsanena vā nimanteti?
I’ve now seen that this is indeed the case.
Tayidaṁ, bho gotama, na sampannamevā”ti.
This isn’t right.”
----

“Nāhaṁ taṁ, brāhmaṇa, passāmi sadevake loke samārake sabrahmake sassamaṇabrāhmaṇiyā pajāya sadevamanussāya yamahaṁ abhivādeyyaṁ vā paccuṭṭheyyaṁ vā āsanena vā nimanteyyaṁ.
“Brahmin, in the world with its gods, lords of death, and supreme beings, in this society with its monastics and brahmins, its gods and humans, I don’t see anyone I should bow down to, rise up for, or offer a seat.
Yañhi, brāhmaṇa, tathāgato abhivādeyya vā paccuṭṭheyya vā āsanena vā nimanteyya, muddhāpi tassa vipateyyā”ti.
If I did, their head would explode.”
----

“Arasarūpo bhavaṁ gotamo”ti?
“Good Gotama lacks taste.”
----
----
“Atthi khvesa, brāhmaṇa, pariyāyo yena maṁ pariyāyena sammā vadamāno vadeyya—‘arasarūpo samaṇo gotamo’ti.
“There’s a way you could rightly say that I lack taste.
Ye te, brāhmaṇa, rūparasā saddarasā gandharasā rasarasā phoṭṭhabbarasā, te tathāgatassa pahīnā ucchinnamūlā tālāvatthukatā anabhāvaṅkatā āyatiṁ anuppādadhammā.
For I’ve abandoned the taste for forms, sounds, smells, flavors, and touches. I’ve cut it off at the root, made it like a palm stump, eradicated it, and made it incapable of reappearing in the future.
Ayaṁ kho, brāhmaṇa, pariyāyo yena maṁ pariyāyena sammā vadamāno vadeyya—‘arasarūpo samaṇo gotamo’ti, no ca kho yaṁ tvaṁ sandhāya vadesī”ti.

Then, with my mind undistractibly-lucid, purified, cleansed, flawless, free from defilements, supple, wieldy, steady, and unshakable, I directed it to the knowledge that consists of recollecting past lives.

one birth, two births, three births, four births, five births, ten births, twenty births, thirty births, forty births, fifty births, a hundred births, a thousand births, a hundred thousand births; many eons of world dissolution, many eons of world evolution, and many eons of both dissolution and evolution. And I knew:
‘amutrāsiṁ evaṁnāmo evaṅgotto evaṁvaṇṇo evamāhāro evaṁsukhadukkhappaṭisaṁvedī evamāyupariyanto;
‘There I had such name, such family, such appearance, such food, such experience of pleasure and pain, and such a lifespan.

Then, with my mind undistractibly-lucid, purified, cleansed, flawless, free from defilements, supple, wieldy, steady, and unshakable, I directed it to the knowledge of the passing away and arising of beings.

With superhuman and purified clairvoyance, I saw beings passing away and getting reborn, inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, gone to good destinations and to bad destinations, and I understood how beings pass on according to their actions:
‘ime vata bhonto sattā kāyaduccaritena samannāgatā vacīduccaritena samannāgatā manoduccaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ upavādakā micchādiṭṭhikā micchādiṭṭhikammasamādānā;
‘These beings who engaged in misconduct by body, speech, and mind, who abused the noble ones, who had wrong views and acted accordingly,
te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.
at the breaking up of the body after death, have been reborn in a lower realm, a bad destination, a world of misery, hell.
Ime vā pana bhonto sattā kāyasucaritena samannāgatā vacīsucaritena samannāgatā manosucaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ anupavādakā sammādiṭṭhikā sammādiṭṭhikammasamādānā;
But these beings who engaged in good conduct of body, speech, and mind, who did not abuse the noble ones, who held right view and acted accordingly,
te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapannā’ti.
at the breaking up of the body after death, have been reborn in a good destination, a heaven world.’

In this way, with superhuman and purified clairvoyance, I saw beings passing away and getting reborn, inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, gone to good destinations and to bad destinations, and I understood how beings pass on according to their actions.
Ayaṁ kho me, brāhmaṇa, rattiyā majjhime yāme dutiyā vijjā adhigatā,
This was the second true insight, which I attained in the middle part of the night.
avijjā vihatā, vijjā uppannā, tamo vihato, āloko uppanno—
Delusion was dispelled and true insight arose, darkness was dispelled and light arose,
yathā taṁ appamattassa ātāpino pahitattassa viharato.
as happens to one who is heedful, energetic, and diligent.
Ayaṁ kho me, brāhmaṇa, dutiyābhinibbhidā ahosi kukkuṭacchāpakasseva aṇḍakosamhā.
This, brahmin, was my second breaking out, like a chick from an eggshell.

Then, with my mind undistractibly-lucid, purified, cleansed, flawless, free from defilements, supple, wieldy, steady, and unshakable, I directed it to the knowledge of the ending of the corruptions.
So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ;
I knew according to reality: ‘This is suffering;’ ‘This is the origin of suffering;’ ‘This is the end of suffering;’ ‘This is the path leading to the end of suffering.’
‘ime āsavā’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ āsavasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ āsavanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ, ‘ayaṁ āsavanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ abbhaññāsiṁ.
I knew according to reality: ‘These are the corruptions;’ ‘This is the origin of the corruptions;’ ‘This is the end of the corruptions;’ ‘This is the path leading to the end of the corruptions.’
Tassa me evaṁ jānato evaṁ passato kāmāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccittha bhavāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccittha avijjāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccittha.
When I knew and saw this, my mind was freed from the corruption of sensual desire, from the corruption of desire to exist, from the corruption of views, and from the corruption of delusion.
Vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamiti ñāṇaṁ ahosi.
When it was freed, I knew it was freed.
‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti abbhaññāsiṁ.
I understood that birth had come to an end, the spiritual life had been fulfilled, the job had been done, there was no further state of existence.
Ayaṁ kho me, brāhmaṇa, rattiyā pacchime yāme tatiyā vijjā adhigatā,
This was the third true insight, which I attained in the last part of the night.

Delusion was dispelled and true insight arose, darkness was dispelled and light arose,

This, brahmin, was my third breaking out, like a chick from an eggshell.”

Evaṁ vutte, verañjo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
That brahmin then said to the Buddha,
----
----
“jeṭṭho bhavaṁ gotamo, seṭṭho bhavaṁ gotamo.
“Good Gotama is the eldest! Good Gotama is the best!
Abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama.
Wonderful, good Gotama, wonderful!
Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṁ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṁ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṁ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṁ dhāreyya—‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti;
Just as one might set upright what’s overturned, or reveal what’s hidden, or show the way to one who’s lost, or bring a lamp into the dark so that one with eyes might see what’s there—
evamevaṁ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito.
just so has the Buddha made the Teaching clear in many ways.
Esāhaṁ bhavantaṁ gotamaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca.
Good Gotama, I go for refuge to the Buddha, the Teaching, and the Sangha of monks.
Upāsakaṁ maṁ bhavaṁ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṁ saraṇaṁ gataṁ.
Please accept me as a lay follower who’s gone for refuge for life.
Adhivāsetu ca me bhavaṁ gotamo verañjāyaṁ vassāvāsaṁ saddhiṁ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti.
And please consent to spend the rainy-season residence at Verañjā together with the Sangha of monks.”
Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena.
The Buddha consented by keeping silent, and the brahmin understood.
Atha kho verañjo brāhmaṇo bhagavato adhivāsanaṁ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.
He then got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena verañjā dubbhikkhā hoti dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
At that time Verañjā was short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw. It was not easy to get by on almsfood.
Tena kho pana samayena uttarāpathakā assavāṇijā pañcamattehi assasatehi verañjaṁ vassāvāsaṁ upagatā honti.
Just then some horse dealers from Uttarāpatha had entered the rainy-season residence at Verañjā with five hundred horses.
Tehi assamaṇḍalikāsu bhikkhūnaṁ patthapatthapulakaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In the horse pen they prepared portion upon portion of steamed grain for the monks.
----

Bhikkhū pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya verañjaṁ piṇḍāya pavisitvā piṇḍaṁ alabhamānā assamaṇḍalikāsu piṇḍāya caritvā patthapatthapulakaṁ ārāmaṁ āharitvā udukkhale koṭṭetvā koṭṭetvā paribhuñjanti.
Then, after robing up in the morning, the monks took their bowls and robes and entered Verañjā for alms. Not getting anything, they went to the horse pen. They then brought back many portions of steamed grain to the monastery, where they pounded and ate them.
Āyasmā panānando patthapulakaṁ silāyaṁ pisitvā bhagavato upanāmeti. Taṁ bhagavā paribhuñjati.
Venerable Ānanda crushed a portion on a stone, took it to the Buddha, and the Buddha ate it.
----
----
Assosi kho bhagavā udukkhalasaddaṁ.
And the Buddha heard the sound of the mortar.
Jānantāpi tathāgatā pucchanti, jānantāpi na pucchanti;
When Buddhas know what is going on, sometimes they ask and sometimes not.
kālaṁ viditvā pucchanti, kālaṁ viditvā na pucchanti;
They know the right time to ask and when not to ask.
atthasaṁhitaṁ tathāgatā pucchanti, no anatthasaṁhitaṁ.
Buddhas ask when it is beneficial, otherwise not,
Anatthasaṁhite setughāto tathāgatānaṁ.
for Buddhas are incapable of doing what is unbeneficial.
Dvīhi ākārehi buddhā bhagavanto bhikkhū paṭipucchanti— dhammaṁ vā desessāma, sāvakānaṁ vā sikkhāpadaṁ paññapessāmāti.
Buddhas question the monks for two reasons: to give a teaching or to lay down a training rule.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi—“kiṁ nu kho so, ānanda, udukkhalasaddo”ti?
And so the he said to Ānanda, “Ānanda, what’s this sound of a mortar?”
Atha kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
Ānanda told him what was happening.
----

“Sādhu sādhu, ānanda.
“Well done, Ānanda.
Tumhehi, ānanda, sappurisehi vijitaṁ. Pacchimā janatā sālimaṁsodanaṁ atimaññissatī”ti.
You’re all superior people who have conquered the problems of famine. Later generations will despise even meat and rice.”

Then Venerable Mahāmoggallāna went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and said,

“etarahi, bhante, verañjā dubbhikkhā dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā.
“At present, Sir, Verañjā is short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw.

It’s not easy to get by on almsfood.
Imissā, bhante, mahāpathaviyā heṭṭhimatalaṁ sampannaṁ—seyyathāpi khuddamadhuṁ anīlakaṁ; evamassādaṁ.
But the undersurface of this great earth abounds with food, tasting just like pure honey.

Would it be good, Sir, if I inverted the earth so that the monks may enjoy the nutrition in those sprouts?”

“Ye pana te, moggallāna, pathavinissitā pāṇā te kathaṁ karissasī”ti?
“But what will you do, Moggallāna, with the creatures that live there?”
----

“Ekāhaṁ, bhante, pāṇiṁ abhinimminissāmi—seyyathāpi mahāpathavī. Ye pathavinissitā pāṇā te tattha saṅkāmessāmi.
“I’ll transform one hand to be like the great earth and make those creatures go there.
Ekena hatthena pathaviṁ parivattessāmī”ti.
I’ll then invert the earth with the other hand.”
----

“Alaṁ, moggallāna, mā te rucci pathaviṁ parivattetuṁ.
“Let it be, Moggallāna, don’t invert the earth.

Those creatures might lose their minds.”

“Sādhu, bhante, sabbo bhikkhusaṅgho uttarakuruṁ piṇḍāya gaccheyyā”ti.
“In that case, Sir, would it be good if the whole Sangha of monks could go to Uttarakuru for alms?”
----

“Alaṁ, moggallāna, mā te rucci sabbassa bhikkhusaṅghassa uttarakuruṁ piṇḍāya gamanan”ti.
“Let it be, Moggallāna, don’t pursue this.”

Atha kho āyasmato sāriputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi—
Soon afterwards, while reflecting in private, Venerable Sāriputta thought,
“katamesānaṁ kho buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi;
“Which Buddhas had a long-lasting spiritual life,

In the evening, after coming out of seclusion, Sāriputta went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and said,
“idha mayhaṁ, bhante, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi—
“Just now, Sir, while I was reflecting in private, I was wondering which Buddhas had a long-lasting spiritual life,
‘katamesānaṁ kho buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi, katamesānaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī’ti. Katamesānaṁ nu kho, bhante, buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi, katamesānaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?

“Bhagavato ca, sāriputta, vipassissa bhagavato ca sikhissa bhagavato ca vessabhussa brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosi.
“Sāriputta, the spiritual life established by the Buddhas Vipassī, Sikhī, and Vessabhū didn’t last long.
Bhagavato ca, sāriputta, kakusandhassa bhagavato ca koṇāgamanassa bhagavato ca kassapassa brahmacariyaṁ ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti.

“Ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo, yena bhagavato ca vipassissa bhagavato ca sikhissa bhagavato ca vessabhussa brahmacariyaṁ na ciraṭṭhitikaṁ ahosī”ti?

“They made no effort to give detailed teachings to their disciples.
Appakañca nesaṁ ahosi suttaṁ geyyaṁ veyyākaraṇaṁ gāthā udānaṁ itivuttakaṁ jātakaṁ abbhutadhammaṁ vedallaṁ.
They gave few discourses in prose or in mixed prose and verse; few expositions, verses, heartfelt exclamations, quotations, birth stories, amazing accounts, and analyses.

At one time, Sāriputta, the Buddha Vessabhū, the Perfected and the fully Awakened One, was staying in a certain frightening forest grove. He instructed a sangha of a thousand monks by reading their minds, saying,
‘evaṁ vitakketha, mā evaṁ vitakkayittha;
‘Think like this, not like that;
evaṁ manasikarotha, mā evaṁ manasākattha;
pay attention like this, not like that;

Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho verañjaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ bhagavā etadavoca—“nimantitamha tayā, brāhmaṇa, vassaṁvuṭṭhā, apalokema taṁ,
And the Buddha said, “Brahmin, we’ve completed the rains residence according to your invitation, and now we take leave of you.
“icchāma mayaṁ janapadacārikaṁ pakkamitun”ti.
We wish to depart to wander the country.”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bho gotama, nimantitattha mayā vassaṁvuṭṭhā; api ca yo deyyadhammo so na dinno.
“It’s true, good Gotama, that you’ve completed the rains residence according to my invitation, but I haven’t given anything.
Tañca kho no asantaṁ,
That’s not good.
nopi adātukamyatā, taṁ kutettha labbhā bahukiccā gharāvāsā bahukaraṇīyā.
It’s not because I didn’t want to, but because household life is so busy.
Adhivāsetu me bhavaṁ gotamo svātanāya bhattaṁ saddhiṁ bhikkhusaṅghenā”ti.
Would you and the Sangha of monks please accept a meal from me tomorrow?”
----
----
Adhivāsesi bhagavā tuṇhībhāvena.
The Buddha consented by keeping silent.
Atha kho bhagavā verañjaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṁsetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.
Then, after instructing, inspiring, and gladdening that brahmin with a teaching, the Buddha got up from his seat and left.
----
----
Atha kho verañjo brāhmaṇo tassā rattiyā accayena sake nivesane paṇītaṁ khādanīyaṁ bhojanīyaṁ paṭiyādāpetvā bhagavato kālaṁ ārocāpesi—“kālo, bho gotama, niṭṭhitaṁ bhattan”ti.
The following morning the brahmin prepared various kinds of fine food in his own house and then had the Buddha informed that the meal was ready.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena verañjassa brāhmaṇassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi saddhiṁ bhikkhusaṅghena.
The Buddha robed up, took his bowl and robe and, together with the Sangha of monks, he went to that brahmin’s house where he sat down on the prepared seat.
Atha kho verañjo brāhmaṇo buddhappamukhaṁ bhikkhusaṅghaṁ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappetvā sampavāretvā bhagavantaṁ bhuttāviṁ onītapattapāṇiṁ ticīvarena acchādesi, ekamekañca bhikkhuṁ ekamekena dussayugena acchādesi.
And that brahmin personally served and satisfied the Sangha of monks headed by the Buddha with various kinds of fine food. When the Buddha had finished his meal, the brahmin gave him a set of three robes and to each monk two pieces of cloth.
Atha kho bhagavā verañjaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṁsetvā uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.
The Buddha instructed, inspired, and gladdened him with a teaching, and then got up from his seat and left.

Atha kho bhagavā verañjāyaṁ yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā anupagamma soreyyaṁ saṅkassaṁ kaṇṇakujjaṁ yena payāgapatiṭṭhānaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā payāgapatiṭṭhāne gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena bārāṇasī tadavasari.
After remaining in Verañjā for as long as he liked, the Buddha traveled to Payāgapatiṭṭhāna via Soreyya, Saṅkassa, and Kaṇṇakujja. There he crossed the river Ganges and continued on to Benares.
Atha kho bhagavā bārāṇasiyaṁ yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā yena vesālī tena cārikaṁ pakkāmi.
After remaining at Benares for as long as he liked, he set out wandering toward Vesālī.
Anupubbena cārikaṁ caramāno yena vesālī tadavasari.
When he eventually arrived,
Tatra sudaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyanti.
he stayed in the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood.

1. The first training rule on expulsion
1. Sudinnabhāṇavāra
First sub-story: the section for recitation on Sudinna
Tena kho pana samayena vesāliyā avidūre kalandagāmo nāma atthi. Tattha sudinno nāma kalandaputto seṭṭhiputto hoti.
At that time Sudinna, the son of a wealthy merchant, lived in a village called Kalanda not far from Vesālī.
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto sambahulehi sahāyakehi saddhiṁ vesāliṁ agamāsi kenacideva karaṇīyena.
On one occasion Sudinna went to Vesālī on some business together with a number of friends.
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā mahatiyā parisāya parivuto dhammaṁ desento nisinno hoti.
Just then the Buddha was seated giving a teaching, surrounded by a large gathering of people.
Addasa kho sudinno kalandaputto bhagavantaṁ mahatiyā parisāya parivutaṁ dhammaṁ desentaṁ nisinnaṁ. Disvānassa etadahosi—“yannūnāhampi dhammaṁ suṇeyyan”ti.
When Sudinna saw this, he thought, “Why don’t I listen to the Teaching?”
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto yena sā parisā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
He then approached that gathering and sat down.
----
----
Ekamantaṁ nisinnassa kho sudinnassa kalandaputtassa etadahosi—
As he was sitting there, he thought,
“yathā yathā kho ahaṁ bhagavatā dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāmi, nayidaṁ sukaraṁ agāraṁ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṁ ekantaparisuddhaṁ saṅkhalikhitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ;
“The way I understand the Buddha’s Teaching, it’s not easy for one who lives at home to lead the spiritual life perfectly complete and pure as a polished conch shell.
yannūnāhaṁ kesamassuṁ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajeyyan”ti.
Why don’t I cut off my hair and beard, put on the ocher robes, and go forth into homelessness?”
----
----
Atha kho sā parisā bhagavatā dhammiyā kathāya sandassitā samādapitā samuttejitā sampahaṁsitā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.
When those people had been instructed, inspired, and gladdened by the Buddha, they got up from their seats, bowed down, circumambulated him with their right sides toward him, and left.
----
----
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto aciravuṭṭhitāya parisāya yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho sudinno kalandaputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
Sudinna then approached the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and told him what he had thought, adding,
----
----
icchāmahaṁ, bhante, kesamassuṁ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajituṁ.
“yathā yathāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāmi, nayidaṁ sukaraṁ agāraṁ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṁ ekantaparisuddhaṁ saṅkhalikhitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ;
Pabbājetu maṁ bhagavā”ti.
“Venerable Sir, please give me the going forth.”
----
----
“Anuññātosi pana tvaṁ, sudinna, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti?
“But, Sudinna, do you have your parents’ permission?”
----
----
“Na kho ahaṁ, bhante, anuññāto mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
“No.”
----
----
“Na kho, sudinna, tathāgatā ananuññātaṁ mātāpitūhi puttaṁ pabbājentī”ti.
“Buddhas don’t give the going forth to anyone who hasn’t gotten their parents’ permission.”
----
----
“Sohaṁ, bhante, tathā karissāmi yathā maṁ mātāpitaro anujānissanti agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
“I’ll do whatever is necessary, Sir, to get my parents’ permission.”
----
----
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto vesāliyaṁ taṁ karaṇīyaṁ tīretvā yena kalandagāmo yena mātāpitaro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mātāpitaro etadavoca—
After finishing his business in Vesālī, Sudinna returned to Kalanda. He then went to his parents and said,
“ammatātā, yathā yathāhaṁ bhagavatā dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāmi, nayidaṁ sukaraṁ agāraṁ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṁ ekantaparisuddhaṁ saṅkhalikhitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ;
“Mom and dad, the way I understand the Buddha’s Teaching, it’s not easy for one who lives at home to lead the spiritual life perfectly complete and pure.
icchāmahaṁ kesamassuṁ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajituṁ.
I want to cut off my hair and beard, put on the ocher robes, and go forth into homelessness.
Anujānātha maṁ agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
Please give me permission to go forth.”
----
----
Evaṁ vutte, sudinnassa kalandaputtassa mātāpitaro sudinnaṁ kalandaputtaṁ etadavocuṁ—
....
“tvaṁ khosi, tāta sudinna, amhākaṁ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparihato. Na tvaṁ, tāta sudinna, kiñci dukkhassa jānāsi.
“But, Sudinna, you’re our only child, and we love you dearly. You live in comfort and we care for you. You don’t have any suffering.
Maraṇenapi mayaṁ te akāmakā vinā bhavissāma
Even if you died we wouldn’t want to lose you.
kiṁ pana mayaṁ taṁ jīvantaṁ anujānissāma agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
So how can we allow you to go forth into homelessness while you’re still living?”
----
----
Dutiyampi kho sudinno kalandaputto mātāpitaro etadavoca—
Sudinna asked his parents a second
“ammatātā, yathā yathāhaṁ bhagavatā dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāmi, nayidaṁ sukaraṁ agāraṁ ajjhāvasatā ekantaparipuṇṇaṁ ekantaparisuddhaṁ saṅkhalikhitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ;

He then lay down on the bare ground and said,
“idheva me maraṇaṁ bhavissati pabbajjā vā”ti.
“I’ll either die right here or go forth!”
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto ekampi bhattaṁ na bhuñji, dvepi bhattāni na bhuñji, tīṇipi bhattāni na bhuñji, cattāripi bhattāni na bhuñji, pañcapi bhattāni na bhuñji, chapi bhattāni na bhuñji, sattapi bhattāni na bhuñji.
And he did not eat at the next seven meals.

His parents repeated what they had said, adding,
Na tvaṁ, tāta sudinna, kiñci dukkhassa jānāsi.

Enjoy the pleasures of the world and do acts of merit.
Na taṁ mayaṁ anujānāma agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
We won’t allow you to go forth.”
Evaṁ vutte, sudinno kalandaputto tuṇhī ahosi.
But Sudinna did not respond.

Dutiyampi kho …pe…
His parents said the same thing a second

Atha kho sudinnassa kalandaputtassa sahāyakā yena sudinno kalandaputto tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā sudinnaṁ kalandaputtaṁ etadavocuṁ—
Then Sudinna’s friends went to him and repeated three times what his parents had said.
“tvaṁ khosi, samma sudinna, mātāpitūnaṁ ekaputtako piyo manāpo sukhedhito sukhaparihato.

Atha kho sudinnassa kalandaputtassa sahāyakā yena sudinnassa kalandaputtassa mātāpitaro tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā sudinnassa kalandaputtassa mātāpitaro etadavocuṁ—
Sudinna’s friends went to his parents and said,
“ammatātā, eso sudinno anantarahitāya bhūmiyā nipanno—

“Sudinna says he’ll either die right there on the bare ground or go forth.

‘idheva me maraṇaṁ bhavissati pabbajjā vā’ti.

But if you allow him to go forth, you’ll see him again afterwards.

So please allow him to go forth.”

“Anujānāma, tātā, sudinnaṁ agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
“Alright, then.”
----

Atha kho sudinnassa kalandaputtassa sahāyakā yena sudinno kalandaputto tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā sudinnaṁ kalandaputtaṁ etadavocuṁ—
And Sudinna’s friends said to him,
“uṭṭhehi, samma sudinna, anuññātosi mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti.
“Get up, Sudinna, your parents have given you permission to go forth.”

Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto—“anuññātomhi kira mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāyā”ti, haṭṭho udaggo pāṇinā gattāni paripuñchanto vuṭṭhāsi.
When Sudinna heard this, he was excited and joyful, stroking his limbs with his hands as he got up.
Atha kho sudinno kalandaputto katipāhaṁ balaṁ gāhetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho sudinno kalandaputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
After spending a few days to regain his strength, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down, and said,
“anuññāto ahaṁ, bhante, mātāpitūhi agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajjāya.
“Venerable Sir, I’ve gotten my parents’ permission to go forth.
Pabbājetu maṁ bhagavā”ti.
Please give me the going forth.”
----

Alattha kho sudinno kalandaputto bhagavato santike pabbajjaṁ, alattha upasampadaṁ.
He then received the going forth and the full ordination in the presence of the Buddha.
Acirūpasampanno ca panāyasmā sudinno evarūpe dhutaguṇe samādāya vattati, āraññiko hoti piṇḍapātiko paṁsukūliko sapadānacāriko,
Not long afterwards he practiced these kinds of ascetic practices: he stayed in the wilderness, ate only almsfood, was a rag-robe wearer, and went on continuous almsround.
aññataraṁ vajjigāmaṁ upanissāya viharati.
And he lived supported by a certain Vajjian village.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena vajjī dubbhikkhā hoti dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
Soon afterwards, the Vajjians were short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw. It was not easy to get by on almsfood.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa etadahosi—“etarahi kho vajjī dubbhikkhā dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
Sudinna considered this and thought,
Bahū kho pana me vesāliyaṁ ñātī aḍḍhā mahaddhanā mahābhogā pahūtajātarūparajatā pahūtavittūpakaraṇā pahūtadhanadhaññā.
“I have many wealthy relatives in Vesālī.

Why don’t I get them to support me?
Ñātī maṁ nissāya dānāni dassanti puññāni karissanti, bhikkhū ca lābhaṁ lacchanti, ahañca piṇḍakena na kilamissāmī”ti.
My relatives will be able to make offerings and merit, the monks will get material support, and I’ll have no trouble getting almsfood.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno senāsanaṁ saṁsāmetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena vesālī tena pakkāmi.
He then put his dwelling in order, took his bowl and robe, and set out for Vesālī.
Anupubbena yena vesālī tadavasari. Tatra sudaṁ āyasmā sudinno vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.
When he eventually arrived, he stayed in the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood.
Assosuṁ kho āyasmato sudinnassa ñātakā—“sudinno kira kalandaputto vesāliṁ anuppatto”ti. Te āyasmato sudinnassa saṭṭhimatte thālipāke bhattābhihāraṁ abhihariṁsu.
His relatives heard that he had arrived in Vesālī, and they presented him with an offering of sixty servings of food.
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno te saṭṭhimatte thālipāke bhikkhūnaṁ vissajjetvā pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kalandagāmaṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.
Sudinna gave the sixty servings to the monks. He then took his bowl and robe and went to the village of Kalanda for alms.
Kalandagāme sapadānaṁ piṇḍāya caramāno yena sakapitu nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami.
As he was going on continuous almsround, he came to his own father’s house.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato sudinnassa ñātidāsī ābhidosikaṁ kummāsaṁ chaḍḍetukāmā hoti.
Just then a female slave of Sudinna’s relatives was about to throw away the previous evening’s porridge.
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno taṁ ñātidāsiṁ etadavoca—
Sudinna said to her,
“sace taṁ, bhagini, chaḍḍanīyadhammaṁ, idha me patte ākirā”ti.
“If that’s to be thrown away, sister, put it here in my almsbowl.”

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa ñātidāsī taṁ ābhidosikaṁ kummāsaṁ āyasmato sudinnassa patte ākirantī hatthānañca pādānañca sarassa ca nimittaṁ aggahesi.
As she was putting the porridge into his bowl, she recognized his hands, feet, and voice.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa ñātidāsī yenāyasmato sudinnassa mātā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmato sudinnassa mātaraṁ etadavoca—
She then went to his mother and said,
“yaggheyye, jāneyyāsi,
“Please be aware, madam,

that master Sudinna is back.”

“Sace, je, tvaṁ saccaṁ bhaṇasi, adāsiṁ taṁ karomī”ti.
“Gosh, if you’re telling the truth, you’re a free woman!”

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā sudinno taṁ ābhidosikaṁ kummāsaṁ aññataraṁ kuṭṭamūlaṁ nissāya paribhuñjati.
As Sudinna was eating the previous evening’s porridge at the base of a certain wall,
Pitāpi kho āyasmato sudinnassa kammantā āgacchanto addasa āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ taṁ ābhidosikaṁ kummāsaṁ aññataraṁ kuṭṭamūlaṁ nissāya paribhuñjantaṁ.
his father was coming home from work.
Disvāna yenāyasmā sudinno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
When he saw him sitting there, he went up to him and said,
“atthi nāma, tāta sudinna, ābhidosikaṁ kummāsaṁ paribhuñjissasi.
“But, Sudinna, isn’t there … What! You’re eating old porridge!
Nanu nāma, tāta sudinna, sakaṁ gehaṁ gantabban”ti?
Why don’t you go to your own house?”
----

“Agamimha kho te, gahapati, gehaṁ.
“We went to your house, householder.

That’s where we received this porridge.”

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa pitā āyasmato sudinnassa bāhāyaṁ gahetvā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca— “ehi, tāta sudinna, gharaṁ gamissāmā”ti.
Sudinna’s father took him by the arm and said, “Come, let’s go home.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno yena sakapitu nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.
Sudinna went to his father’s house and sat down on the prepared seat.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa pitā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca— “bhuñja, tāta sudinnā”ti.
His father said to him, “Please eat, Sudinna.”

“Alaṁ, gahapati, kataṁ me ajja bhattakiccan”ti.
“There’s no need. I’m done for today.”
----
----
“Adhivāsehi, tāta sudinna, svātanāya bhattan”ti.
“Then come back for the meal tomorrow.”
----
----
Adhivāsesi kho āyasmā sudinno tuṇhībhāvena. Atha kho āyasmā sudinno uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.
Sudinna consented by keeping silent, and he got up from his seat and left.

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā tassā rattiyā accayena haritena gomayena pathaviṁ opuñjāpetvā dve puñje kārāpesi—ekaṁ hiraññassa, ekaṁ suvaṇṇassa.
The next morning Sudinna’s mother had the floor smeared with fresh cow-dung, She then piled up two heaps, one with money and one with gold.
Tāva mahantā puñjā ahesuṁ, orato ṭhito puriso pārato ṭhitaṁ purisaṁ na passati; pārato ṭhito puriso orato ṭhitaṁ purisaṁ na passati.
The heaps were so large that a man standing on one side could not see a man standing on the other.
Te puñje kilañjehi paṭicchādāpetvā majjhe āsanaṁ paññāpetvā tirokaraṇīyaṁ parikkhipitvā āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikaṁ āmantesi—
She hid the heaps behind screens, prepared a seat between them, and surrounded it all with a curtain. And she said to Sudinna’s ex-wife,
“tena hi, vadhu, yena alaṅkārena alaṅkatā puttassa me sudinnassa piyā ahosi manāpā tena alaṅkārena alaṅkarā”ti.
“Now please adorn yourself in the way our son Sudinna found you especially attractive.”

“Evaṁ, ayye”ti, kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā āyasmato sudinnassa mātuyā paccassosi.
“Yes, madam.”

Atha kho āyasmā sudinno pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena sakapitu nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.
Then, after robing up, Venerable Sudinna took his bowl and robe and went to his father’s house where he sat down on the prepared seat.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa pitā yenāyasmā sudinno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te puñje vivarāpetvā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
His father went up to him, uncovered the heaps, and said,
“idaṁ te, tāta sudinna, mātu mattikaṁ itthikāya itthidhanaṁ, aññaṁ pettikaṁ aññaṁ pitāmahaṁ.
“This dowry, dear Sudinna, is the fortune from your mother. It’s yours. Another is the fortune from your father and another the fortune from your ancestors.
Labbhā, tāta sudinna, hīnāyāvattitvā bhogā ca bhuñjituṁ puññāni ca kātuṁ.

“Tāta, na ussahāmi na visahāmi, abhirato ahaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carāmī”ti.
“I can’t, father. I’m enjoying the spiritual life.”

Dutiyampi kho …pe…
Sudinna’s father repeated his request and Sudinna replied as before.
tatiyampi kho āyasmato sudinnassa pitā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
When Sudinna’s father repeated his request a third time, Sudinna said,
“idaṁ te, tāta sudinna, mātu mattikaṁ, itthikāya itthidhanaṁ, aññaṁ pettikaṁ, aññaṁ pitāmahaṁ.
....
Labbhā, tāta sudinna, hīnāyāvattitvā bhogā ca bhuñjituṁ puññāni ca kātuṁ.

“If you wouldn’t get offended, I could tell you what to do.”

“Vadehi, tāta sudinnā”ti.
“Let’s hear it.”

“Tena hi tvaṁ, gahapati, mahante mahante sāṇipasibbake kārāpetvā hiraññasuvaṇṇassa pūrāpetvā sakaṭehi nibbāhāpetvā majjhe gaṅgāya sote opātehi.
“Well then, make some large hempen sacks, put all the money and gold inside, take it all away in carts, and dump it in the middle of the Ganges.
Taṁ kissa hetu?
And why?
Yañhi te, gahapati, bhavissati tatonidānaṁ bhayaṁ vā chambhitattaṁ vā lomahaṁso vā ārakkho vā so te na bhavissatī”ti.
Because that way you will avoid the danger, fear, and terror that it will otherwise cause you, as well as the trouble with protecting it.”
----

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmato sudinnassa pitā anattamano ahosi— “kathañhi nāma putto sudinno evaṁ vakkhatī”ti.
His father became upset, thinking, “How can our son Sudinna say such things?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa pitā āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikaṁ āmantesi—
He then said to Sudinna’s ex-wife,
“tena hi, vadhu, tvaṁ piyā ca manāpā ca. Appeva nāma putto sudinno tuyhampi vacanaṁ kareyyā”ti.
“Well then, since you were so dear to him, perhaps our son Sudinna will listen to you?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā āyasmato sudinnassa pādesu gahetvā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
Sudinna’s ex-wife took hold of his feet and said,
“kīdisā nāma tā, ayyaputta, accharāyo yāsaṁ tvaṁ hetu brahmacariyaṁ carasī”ti?
“What are these nymphs like, sir, for which you practice the spiritual life?”
----
----
“Na kho ahaṁ, bhagini, accharānaṁ hetu brahmacariyaṁ carāmī”ti.
“Sister, I don’t practice the spiritual life for the sake of nymphs.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā— “ajjatagge maṁ ayyaputto sudinno bhaginivādena samudācaratī”ti, tattheva mucchitā papatā.
His ex-wife thought, “Sudinna is now calling me ‘sister’,” and she fainted right there.
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno pitaraṁ etadavoca—
Sudinna said to his father,
“sace, gahapati, bhojanaṁ dātabbaṁ detha,
“If there’s food to be given, householder, give it,

but don’t annoy me.”

“Bhuñja, tāta sudinnā”ti.
“Eat, Sudinna,” he said.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā ca pitā ca āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesuṁ sampavāresuṁ.
And Sudinna’s mother and father personally served and satisfied him with various kinds of fine food.

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ bhuttāviṁ onītapattapāṇiṁ etadavoca—
When Sudinna had finished his meal, his mother said to him:

“Mother, I can’t. I’m enjoying the spiritual life.”

Dutiyampi kho …pe…
His mother repeated her request a second time, but got the same reply.
tatiyampi kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
She then said,
“idaṁ, tāta sudinna, kulaṁ aḍḍhaṁ mahaddhanaṁ mahābhogaṁ pahūtajātarūparajataṁ pahūtavittūpakaraṇaṁ pahūtadhanadhaññaṁ.
“Our family is wealthy, Sudinna.
Tena hi, tāta sudinna, bījakampi dehi—
Please give us an offspring,

so that the Licchavīs don’t take over our heirless property.”

“Etaṁ kho me, amma, sakkā kātun”ti.
“Yes, mother, I can do that.”

“Kahaṁ pana, tāta sudinna, etarahi viharasī”ti?
“But where are you staying?”
----

“Mahāvane, ammā”ti.
“In the Great Wood.”
Atha kho āyasmā sudinno uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkāmi.
And he got up from his seat and left.
----

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikaṁ āmantesi—
Sudinna’s mother then said to his ex-wife,
“tena hi, vadhu, yadā utunī ahosi, pupphaṁ te uppannaṁ hoti, atha me āroceyyāsī”ti.
“Well then, as soon as you reach your fertile period, please tell me.”
----

“Evaṁ, ayye”ti kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā āyasmato sudinnassa mātuyā paccassosi.
“Yes, madam.”
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā nacirasseva utunī ahosi, pupphaṁsā uppajji.
Not long afterwards Sudinna’s ex-wife reached her fertile period,
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā āyasmato sudinnassa mātaraṁ etadavoca—“utunīmhi, ayye, pupphaṁ me uppannan”ti.
and she reported it to Sudinna’s mother.
----

“Tena hi, vadhu, yena alaṅkārena alaṅkatā puttassa sudinnassa piyā ahosi manāpā tena alaṅkārena alaṅkarā”ti.
“Now, please adorn yourself in the way that our son Sudinna found you especially attractive.”

“Evaṁ, ayye”ti kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā āyasmato sudinnassa mātuyā paccassosi.
“Yes.”

Then Sudinna’s mother, together with his ex-wife, went to Sudinna in the Great Wood, and she said to him:
“idaṁ, tāta sudinna, kulaṁ aḍḍhaṁ mahaddhanaṁ mahābhogaṁ pahūtajātarūparajataṁ pahūtavittūpakaraṇaṁ pahūtadhanadhaññaṁ.

Dutiyampi kho …pe…
His mother repeated her request a second time, but got the same reply.
tatiyampi kho āyasmato sudinnassa mātā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavoca—
She then said this:
“idaṁ, tāta sudinna, kulaṁ aḍḍhaṁ mahaddhanaṁ mahābhogaṁ pahūtajātarūparajataṁ pahūtavittūpakaraṇaṁ pahūtadhanadhaññaṁ.
....
Tena hi, tāta sudinna, bījakampi dehi—
“Well then, please give us an offspring.

We don’t want the Licchavīs to take over our heirless property.”

“Etaṁ kho me, amma, sakkā kātun”ti,
“Alright, mother.”

He then took his ex-wife by the arm, disappeared into the Great Wood and—there being no training rule and he seeing no danger—had sexual intercourse with her three times.
Sā tena gabbhaṁ gaṇhi.
As a result she conceived.

Bhummā devā saddamanussāvesuṁ—
And the earth gods cried out:
“nirabbudo vata bho bhikkhusaṅgho nirādīnavo;
“Sirs, the Sangha of monks has been free from cancer and danger.
sudinnena kalandaputtena abbudaṁ uppāditaṁ, ādīnavo uppādito”ti.
But Sudinna of Kalanda has produced a cancer and endangered it.”

the gods of the realm of the supreme beings cried out:

“Sirs, the Sangha of monks has been free from cancer and danger.

But Sudinna of Kalanda has produced a cancer and endangered it.”
Itiha tena khaṇena tena muhuttena yāva brahmalokā saddo abbhuggacchi.
Thus in that moment, in that instance, the news spread as far as the world of the supreme beings.

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikā tassa gabbhassa paripākamanvāya puttaṁ vijāyi.
In the meantime, the pregnancy of Sudinna’s ex-wife developed, and she eventually gave birth to a son.
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa sahāyakā tassa dārakassa bījakoti nāmaṁ akaṁsu.
Sudinna’s friends called him Offspring,
Āyasmato sudinnassa purāṇadutiyikāya bījakamātāti nāmaṁ akaṁsu.
while calling Sudinna’s ex-wife Offspring’s mother,
Āyasmato sudinnassa bījakapitāti nāmaṁ akaṁsu.
and Venerable Sudinna Offspring’s father.
Te aparena samayena ubho agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajitvā arahattaṁ sacchākaṁsu.
After some time, they both went forth into homelessness and realized perfection.
----

Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa ahudeva kukkuccaṁ, ahu vippaṭisāro—
But Sudinna was anxious and remorseful, thinking,
“alābhā vata me, na vata me lābhā; dulladdhaṁ vata me, na vata me suladdhaṁ;
“This is truly bad for me,
yohaṁ evaṁ svākkhāte dhammavinaye pabbajitvā nāsakkhiṁ yāvajīvaṁ paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ caritun”ti.
that after going forth on such a well-proclaimed spiritual path, I wasn’t able to practice the perfectly complete and pure spiritual life to the end.”

And because of his anxiety and remorse, he became thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over his body. He became sad, sluggish, miserable, and depressed, weighed down by remorse.
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato sudinnassa sahāyakā bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ etadavocuṁ—
The monks who were Sudinna’s friends said to him:
“pubbe kho tvaṁ, āvuso sudinna, vaṇṇavā ahosi pīṇindriyo pasannamukhavaṇṇo vippasannachavivaṇṇo;
“In the past, Sudinna, you had a good color, a bright face, clear skin, and sharp senses.

“No wonder you’re anxious, Sudinna, no wonder you have remorse.
Nanu, āvuso, bhagavatā anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito, no sarāgāya;
Hasn’t the Buddha given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of lust;

for the sake of freedom from bondage, not for the sake of bondage;
anupādānāya dhammo desito, no saupādānāya.

for the clearing away of intoxication, for the removal of thirst, for the uprooting of attachment, for the cutting off of the round of rebirth, for the stopping of craving, for fading away, for ending, for extinguishment?
Nanu, āvuso, bhagavatā anekapariyāyena kāmānaṁ pahānaṁ akkhātaṁ,
Hasn’t the Buddha in many ways taught the abandoning of sensual pleasures,

the removal of thirst for sensual pleasures,

Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
After rebuking Sudinna in many ways, they told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ sudinnaṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha then had the Sangha of monks gathered and questioned Sudinna:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, sudinna, purāṇadutiyikāya methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevī”ti?
“Is it true, Sudinna, that you had sexual intercourse with your ex-wife?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appaṭirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“Foolish man, it’s not suitable, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.

Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito, no sarāgāya;

Varaṁ te, moghapurisa, āsivisassa ghoravisassa mukhe aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ, na tveva mātugāmassa aṅgajāte aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ.
It would be better, foolish man, for your penis to enter the mouth of a highly venomous snake than to enter a woman.
Varaṁ te, moghapurisa, kaṇhasappassa mukhe aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ, na tveva mātugāmassa aṅgajāte aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ.

Then the Buddha spoke in many ways in dispraise of being difficult to support and maintain, in dispraise of great desires, discontent, socializing, and laziness; but he spoke in many ways in praise of being easy to support and maintain, of fewness of wishes, contentment, self-effacement, ascetic practices, serenity, reduction in things, and being energetic.
bhikkhūnaṁ tadanucchavikaṁ tadanulomikaṁ dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—
After giving a teaching on what is right and proper, he addressed the monks:

“tena hi, bhikkhave, bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññapessāmi dasa atthavase paṭicca—
“Well then, monks, I will lay down a training rule for the following ten reasons:

for the well-being of the Sangha, for the comfort of the Sangha, for the restraint of bad people, for the ease of good monks, for the restraint of corruptions relating to the present life, for the restraint of corruptions relating to future lives, to give rise to confidence in those without it, to increase the confidence of those who have it, for the longevity of the true Teaching, and for supporting the training.
Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

First preliminary ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭiseveyya, pārājiko hoti asaṁvāso”ti.
‘If a monk has sexual intercourse, he is expelled and excluded from the community.’”

Sometime later, in the Great Wood near Vesālī, a certain monk befriended a female monkey by giving her food. He then had sexual intercourse with her.
Atha kho so bhikkhu pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaraṁ ādāya vesāliṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.
Soon afterwards, after robing up in the morning, he took his bowl and robe and entered Vesālī for alms.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā bhikkhū senāsanacārikaṁ āhiṇḍantā yena tassa bhikkhuno vihāro tenupasaṅkamiṁsu.
Just then a number of monks who were walking about the dwellings came to the one belonging to this monk.
Addasa kho sā makkaṭī te bhikkhū dūratova āgacchante.
The female monkey saw those monks coming.
Disvāna yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ purato kaṭimpi cālesi cheppampi cālesi, kaṭimpi oḍḍi, nimittampi akāsi.
She went up to them, shook her buttocks in front of them, wagged her tail, presented her backside, and made a gesture.
Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—“nissaṁsayaṁ kho so bhikkhu imissā makkaṭiyā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevatī”ti. Ekamantaṁ nilīyiṁsu.
The monks thought, “This monk must be having sexual intercourse with this monkey,” and they hid to one side.
Atha kho so bhikkhu vesāliyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā piṇḍapātaṁ ādāya paṭikkami.
Then, when that monk had finished his almsround in Vesālī and had returned with his almsfood,
Atha kho sā makkaṭī yena so bhikkhu tenupasaṅkami.
....
Atha kho so bhikkhu taṁ piṇḍapātaṁ ekadesaṁ bhuñjitvā ekadesaṁ tassā makkaṭiyā adāsi.
he ate one part himself and gave the rest to that female monkey.
Atha kho sā makkaṭī taṁ piṇḍapātaṁ bhuñjitvā tassa bhikkhuno kaṭiṁ oḍḍi. Atha kho so bhikkhu tassā makkaṭiyā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevati.
After eating the food, the monkey presented her buttocks to the monk, and he had sexual intercourse with her.
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavocuṁ—“nanu, āvuso, bhagavatā sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ;
The other monks said to him, “Hasn’t a training rule been laid down by the Buddha?
kissa tvaṁ, āvuso, makkaṭiyā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevasī”ti?
Why then do you have sexual intercourse with a monkey?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, āvuso, bhagavatā sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ; tañca kho manussitthiyā, no tiracchānagatāyā”ti.
“It’s true that a training rule has been laid down by the Buddha, but it concerns women, not animals.”
----

“Nanu, āvuso, tatheva taṁ hoti.
“But that’s just the same.
Ananucchavikaṁ, āvuso, ananulomikaṁ appaṭirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.

How could you go forth on such a well-proclaimed spiritual path and not be able to practice the perfectly complete and pure spiritual life to the end?

and cause some to lose it.”
----

Atha kho te bhikkhū taṁ bhikkhuṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
After rebuking that monk in many ways, they told the Buddha.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha then had the Sangha of monks gathered and questioned that monk:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, bhikkhu, makkaṭiyā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevī”ti?
“Is it true, monk, that you did this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“Foolish man, it’s not suitable, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, evaṁ svākkhāte dhammavinaye pabbajitvā na sakkhissasi yāvajīvaṁ paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ.
How could you go forth on such a well-proclaimed spiritual path and not be able to practice the perfectly complete and pure spiritual life to the end?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito, no sarāgāya …pe…
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion …
kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto.
for the stilling of the fevers of sensual desire?
Varaṁ te, moghapurisa, āsivisassa ghoravisassa mukhe aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ, na tveva makkaṭiyā aṅgajāte aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ.
It would be better, foolish man, for your penis to enter the mouth of a highly venomous snake than to enter a female monkey.
Varaṁ te, moghapurisa, kaṇhasappassa mukhe aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ, na tveva makkaṭiyā aṅgajāte aṅgajātaṁ pakkhittaṁ.
It would be better for your penis to enter the mouth of a black snake than to enter a female monkey.

It would be better for your penis to enter a blazing charcoal pit than to enter a female monkey.
Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why is that?
Tatonidānañhi, moghapurisa, maraṇaṁ vā nigaccheyya maraṇamattaṁ vā dukkhaṁ;
For although it might cause death or death-like suffering,

it would not cause you to be reborn in a bad destination.

But this might.

Foolish man, you’ve practiced what is contrary to the true Teaching, the common practice, the low practice, the coarse practice, that which ends with a wash, that which is done in private, that which is done wherever there are couples.

“Yo pana bhikkhu methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭiseveyya antamaso tiracchānagatāyapi, pārājiko hoti asaṁvāso”ti.
‘If a monk has sexual intercourse, even with a female animal, he is expelled and excluded from the community.’”

3. Santhatabhāṇavāra
Third sub-story: the section for recitation on covering
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā vesālikā vajjiputtakā bhikkhū yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjiṁsu, yāvadatthaṁ supiṁsu, yāvadatthaṁ nhāyiṁsu.
Soon afterwards there were a number of Vajjian monks from Vesālī who ate, slept, and bathed as much as they liked.
Yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjitvā yāvadatthaṁ supitvā yāvadatthaṁ nhāyitvā ayoniso manasi karitvā sikkhaṁ apaccakkhāya dubbalyaṁ anāvikatvā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭiseviṁsu.
Then, not reflecting properly and without first renouncing the training and revealing their weakness, they had sexual intercourse.
Te aparena samayena ñātibyasanenapi phuṭṭhā bhogabyasanenapi phuṭṭhā rogabyasanenapi phuṭṭhā āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadanti—
After some time they were affected by loss of relatives, loss of property, and loss of health. They then went to Venerable Ānanda and said,
----
----
“na mayaṁ, bhante ānanda, buddhagarahino na dhammagarahino na saṅghagarahino;
“Venerable Ānanda, we don’t blame the Buddha, the Teaching, or the Sangha;
attagarahino mayaṁ, bhante ānanda, anaññagarahino.
we only have ourselves to blame.
Mayamevamhā alakkhikā mayaṁ appapuññā,
We were unfortunate and had little merit—
ye mayaṁ evaṁ svākkhāte dhammavinaye pabbajitvā nāsakkhimhā yāvajīvaṁ paripuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ carituṁ.
after going forth on such a well-proclaimed spiritual path, we were unable to practice the perfectly complete and pure spiritual life to the end.
Idāni cepi mayaṁ, bhante ānanda, labheyyāma bhagavato santike pabbajjaṁ labheyyāma upasampadaṁ, idānipi mayaṁ vipassakā kusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pubbarattāpararattaṁ bodhipakkhikānaṁ dhammānaṁ bhāvanānuyogamanuyuttā vihareyyāma.
If we were now to get the going forth and the full ordination in the presence of the Buddha, we would have clarity about wholesome qualities and be devoted day in and day out to developing the aids to awakening.
Sādhu, bhante ānanda, bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocehī”ti.
Venerable Ānanda, please inform the Buddha.”

“Evamāvuso”ti kho āyasmā ānando vesālikānaṁ vajjiputtakānaṁ paṭissuṇitvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
Saying, “Yes,” he went to the Buddha and told him.
----
----
“Aṭṭhānametaṁ, ānanda, anavakāso yaṁ tathāgato vajjīnaṁ vā vajjiputtakānaṁ vā kāraṇā sāvakānaṁ pārājikaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ samūhaneyyā”ti.
“It’s impossible, Ānanda, that the Buddha should abolish a training rule that entails expulsion because of the Vajjians.”
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—
The Buddha then gave a teaching and addressed the monks:
----
----
“yo, bhikkhave, sikkhaṁ apaccakkhāya dubbalyaṁ anāvikatvā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevati so āgato na upasampādetabbo.
“Monks, if someone, without first renouncing the training and revealing their weakness, has sexual intercourse, they may not receive the full ordination once again.
Yo ca kho, bhikkhave, sikkhaṁ paccakkhāya dubbalyaṁ āvikatvā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevati so āgato upasampādetabbo.
But, monks, if someone has sexual intercourse after first renouncing the training and revealing their weakness, they may receive the full ordination once again.
----

Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Final ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāsājīvasamāpanno sikkhaṁ apaccakkhāya dubbalyaṁ anāvikatvā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭiseveyya, antamaso tiracchānagatāyapi, pārājiko hoti asaṁvāso”ti.
‘If a monk, after taking on the monks’ training and way of life, without first renouncing the training and revealing his weakness, has sexual intercourse, even with a female animal, he is expelled and excluded from the community.’”

Methunadhammo nāma
Sexual intercourse:
yo so asaddhammo gāmadhammo vasaladhammo duṭṭhullaṁ odakantikaṁ rahassaṁ dvayaṁdvayasamāpatti, eso methunadhammo nāma.
what is contrary to the true Teaching, the common practice, the low practice, the coarse practice, that which ends with a wash, that which is done in private, that which is done wherever there are couples—this is called “sexual intercourse”.
Paṭisevati nāma
Has:
yo nimittena nimittaṁ aṅgajātena aṅgajātaṁ antamaso tilaphalamattampi paveseti, eso paṭisevati nāma.
whoever makes an organ enter an organ, a genital enter a genital, even to the depth of a sesame seed—this is called “has”.
Antamaso tiracchānagatāyapīti
Even with a female animal:
tiracchānagatitthiyāpi methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevitvā assamaṇo hoti asakyaputtiyo, pageva manussitthiyā. Tena vuccati— “antamaso tiracchānagatāyapī”ti.
even having had sexual intercourse with a female animal, he is not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic, let alone with a woman—therefore it is called “even with a female animal”.
Pārājiko hotīti
He is expelled:
seyyathāpi nāma puriso sīsacchinno abhabbo tena sarīrabandhanena jīvituṁ; evameva bhikkhu methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevitvā assamaṇo hoti asakyaputtiyo. Tena vuccati— “pārājiko hotī”ti.
just as a man with his head cut off is unable to continue living by reconnecting it to the body, so too is a monk who has had sexual intercourse not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic. Therefore it is said, “he is expelled.”
Asaṁvāsoti
Excluded from the community:
saṁvāso nāma ekakammaṁ ekuddeso samasikkhatā— eso saṁvāso nāma.
Community: joint legal procedures, a joint recitation, the same training—this is called “community”.
So tena saddhiṁ natthi. Tena vuccati—“asaṁvāso”ti.
He does not take part in this—therefore it is called “excluded from the community”.

First sub-story
Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha on the Vulture Peak.
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā sandiṭṭhā sambhattā bhikkhū isigilipasse tiṇakuṭiyo karitvā vassaṁ upagacchiṁsu.
At that time a number of monks who were friends had made grass huts on the slope of Mount Isigili and had entered the rainy-season residence there.
Āyasmāpi dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tiṇakuṭikaṁ karitvā vassaṁ upagacchi.
Among them was Venerable Dhaniya the potter.
Atha kho te bhikkhū vassaṁvuṭṭhā temāsaccayena tiṇakuṭiyo bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca paṭisāmetvā janapadacārikaṁ pakkamiṁsu.
When the three months were over and they had completed the rainy-season residence, the monks demolished their grass huts, put away the grass and sticks, and left to wander the country.
Āyasmā pana dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tattheva vassaṁ vasi, tattha hemantaṁ, tattha gimhaṁ.
But Venerable Dhaniya spent the winter and the summer right there.
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
Then, on one occasion, while Dhaniya was in the village to collect almsfood, some women gathering grass and firewood demolished his grass hut and took away the grass and sticks.
Dutiyampi kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca saṅkaḍḍhitvā tiṇakuṭikaṁ akāsi.
A second time Dhaniya collected grass and sticks and made a grass hut,
Dutiyampi kho āyasmato dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
and again the hut was demolished in the same way.
Tatiyampi kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca saṅkaḍḍhitvā tiṇakuṭikaṁ akāsi.
The same thing happened a third time.
Tatiyampi kho āyasmato dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
....
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa etadahosi—
Dhaniya thought,
“yāvatatiyakaṁ kho me gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
“Three times this has happened.
Ahaṁ kho pana susikkhito anavayo sake ācariyake kumbhakārakamme pariyodātasippo.
But I’m well-trained and experienced in my own craft of pottery.
Yannūnāhaṁ sāmaṁ cikkhallaṁ madditvā sabbamattikāmayaṁ kuṭikaṁ kareyyan”ti.
Why don’t I knead mud myself and make a hut entirely of clay?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto sāmaṁ cikkhallaṁ madditvā sabbamattikāmayaṁ kuṭikaṁ karitvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca gomayañca saṅkaḍḍhitvā taṁ kuṭikaṁ paci.
And he did just that. He then collected grass, sticks, and cow-dung, and he baked his hut.
Sā ahosi kuṭikā abhirūpā dassanīyā pāsādikā lohitikā, seyyathāpi indagopako.
It was a pretty and attractive little hut, red in color like a scarlet rain-mite.
Seyyathāpi nāma kiṅkaṇikasaddo; evamevaṁ tassā kuṭikāya saddo ahosi.
And when struck, it sounded just like a bell.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā sambahulehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto addasa taṁ kuṭikaṁ abhirūpaṁ dassanīyaṁ pāsādikaṁ lohitikaṁ.
Soon afterwards the Buddha was descending from the Vulture Peak with a number of monks when he saw that hut.
Disvāna bhikkhū āmantesi—
He said to the monks,
“kiṁ etaṁ, bhikkhave, abhirūpaṁ dassanīyaṁ pāsādikaṁ lohitikaṁ, seyyathāpi indagopako”ti?
“What’s this pretty and attractive thing that’s red in color like a scarlet rain-mite?”
Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
The monks told the Buddha,
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
who then rebuked Dhaniya:
----
----
“ananucchavikaṁ, bhikkhave, tassa moghapurisassa ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“It’s not suitable for that foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma so, bhikkhave, moghapuriso sabbamattikāmayaṁ kuṭikaṁ karissati.
How could he make a hut entirely of clay?
Na hi nāma, bhikkhave, tassa moghapurisassa pāṇesu anuddayā anukampā avihesā bhavissati.
Doesn’t he have any consideration, compassion, and mercy for living beings?
Gacchathetaṁ, bhikkhave, kuṭikaṁ bhindatha.
Go, monks, and demolish this hut,
Mā pacchimā janatā pāṇesu pātabyataṁ āpajji.
so that future generations don’t follow his example.
----
----
Na ca, bhikkhave, sabbamattikāmayā kuṭikā kātabbā.
And, monks, you shouldn’t make a hut entirely of clay.
Yo kareyya, āpatti dukkaṭassā”ti.
If you do, you commit an offense of wrong conduct.”
----
----
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti, kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paṭissuṇitvā yena sā kuṭikā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ kuṭikaṁ bhindiṁsu.
Saying, “Yes, Sir,” they went to demolish it.
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto te bhikkhū etadavoca—
And Dhaniya said to them,
“kissa me tumhe, āvuso, kuṭikaṁ bhindathā”ti?
“Why are you demolishing my hut?”
----
----
“Bhagavā, āvuso, bhedāpetī”ti.
“The Buddha has asked us to.”
----
----
“Bhindathāvuso, sace dhammassāmī bhedāpetī”ti.
“Demolish it then, if the Lord of the Truth has said so.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa etadahosi—
Dhaniya thought,
“yāvatatiyakaṁ kho me gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
“Three times, while I was in the village to collect almsfood, women gathering grass and firewood demolished my hut and took away the grass and sticks.
Yāpi mayā sabbamattikāmayā kuṭikā katā sāpi bhagavatā bhedāpitā.
And now my hut made entirely of clay has been demolished at the Buddha’s request.
Atthi ca me dārugahe gaṇako sandiṭṭho.
Now, the caretaker of the woodyard is a friend of mine.
Yannūnāhaṁ dārugahe gaṇakaṁ dārūni yācitvā dārukuṭikaṁ kareyyan”ti.
Why don’t I ask him for timber and make a hut out of that?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto yena dārugahe gaṇako tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā dārugahe gaṇakaṁ etadavoca—
Dhaniya then went to the caretaker of the woodyard and told him what had happened,
“yāvatatiyakaṁ kho me, āvuso, gāmaṁ piṇḍāya paviṭṭhassa tiṇahāriyo kaṭṭhahāriyo tiṇakuṭikaṁ bhinditvā tiṇañca kaṭṭhañca ādāya agamaṁsu.
....
Yāpi mayā sabbamattikāmayā kuṭikā katā sāpi bhagavatā bhedāpitā.
....
Dehi me, āvuso, dārūni.
adding, “Please give me some timber,
Icchāmi dārukuṭikaṁ kātun”ti.
I want to make a wooden hut.”
----
----
“Natthi, bhante, tādisāni dārūni yānāhaṁ ayyassa dadeyyaṁ.
“There’s no timber, Sir, that I could give you.
Atthi, bhante, devagahadārūni nagarapaṭisaṅkhārikāni āpadatthāya nikkhittāni.
This timber is held by the King. It’s meant for repairs of the town and put aside in case of an emergency.
Sace tāni dārūni rājā dāpeti harāpetha, bhante”ti.
You can only have it if the King gives it away.”
----
----
“Dinnāni, āvuso, raññā”ti.
“Actually, it’s been given by the King.”
----
----
Atha kho dārugahe gaṇakassa etadahosi—
The caretaker of the woodyard thought,
“ime kho samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dhammacārino samacārino brahmacārino saccavādino sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā.
“These Sakyan monastics have integrity. They are celibate and their conduct is good, and they are truthful, moral, and have a good character.
Rājāpimesaṁ abhippasanno.
Even the King has faith in them.
Nārahati adinnaṁ dinnanti vattun”ti.
These venerables wouldn’t say something is given if it wasn’t.”
Atha kho dārugahe gaṇako āyasmantaṁ dhaniyaṁ kumbhakāraputtaṁ etadavoca—
And he said to Dhaniya,
“harāpetha, bhante”ti.
“You may take it, Sir.”
Atha kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tāni dārūni khaṇḍākhaṇḍikaṁ chedāpetvā sakaṭehi nibbāhāpetvā dārukuṭikaṁ akāsi.
Dhaniya then had that timber cut into pieces, took it away on carts, and made a wooden hut.

Atha kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto rājagahe kammante anusaññāyamāno yena dārugahe gaṇako tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā dārugahe gaṇakaṁ etadavoca—
Soon afterwards the brahmin Vassakāra, the chief minister of Magadha, was inspecting the public works in Rājagaha when he went to the caretaker of the woodyard and said,
“yāni tāni, bhaṇe,
“What’s going on?
devagahadārūni nagarapaṭisaṅkhārikāni āpadatthāya nikkhittāni kahaṁ tāni dārūnī”ti?
Where’s the timber held by the King that’s meant for repairs of the town and put aside in case of an emergency?”
----
----
“Tāni, sāmi, dārūni devena ayyassa dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa dinnānī”ti.
“The King has given it to Venerable Dhaniya.”
----
----
Atha kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto anattamano ahosi—
Vassakāra was upset and thought,
“kathañhi nāma devo devagahadārūni nagarapaṭisaṅkhārikāni āpadatthāya nikkhittāni dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa dassatī”ti.
“How could the King give away this timber to Dhaniya the potter?”
----
----
Atha kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto yena rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā rājānaṁ māgadhaṁ seniyaṁ bimbisāraṁ etadavoca—
He then went to King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha and said,
“saccaṁ kira devena devagahadārūni nagarapaṭisaṅkhārikāni āpadatthāya nikkhittāni dhaniyassa kumbhakāraputtassa dinnānī”ti?
“Is it true, sir, that you have given away to Dhaniya the potter the timber that was held for repairs of the town and put aside in case of an emergency?”
----
----
“Ko evamāhā”ti?
“Who said that?”
----
----
“Dārugahe gaṇako, devā”ti.
“The caretaker of the woodyard.”
----
----
“Tena hi, brāhmaṇa, dārugahe gaṇakaṁ āṇāpehī”ti.
“Well then, brahmin, summon the caretaker of the woodyard.”
Atha kho vassakāro brāhmaṇo magadhamahāmatto dārugahe gaṇakaṁ bandhaṁ āṇāpesi.
And Vassakāra had the caretaker of the woodyard bound and taken by force.
----
----
Addasa kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto dārugahe gaṇakaṁ bandhaṁ niyyamānaṁ.
Dhaniya saw this
Disvāna dārugahe gaṇakaṁ etadavoca—
and said to him,
“kissa tvaṁ, āvuso, bandho niyyāsī”ti?
“Why is this happening to you?”
----
----
“Tesaṁ, bhante, dārūnaṁ kiccā”ti.
“Because of the timber, Sir.”

----
“Gacchāvuso, ahampi āgacchāmī”ti.
“Go then, and I’ll come too.”

“Eyyāsi, bhante, purāhaṁ haññāmī”ti.
“Please come before I’m done for.”

Atha kho āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto yena rañño māgadhassa seniyassa bimbisārassa nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.
Dhaniya then went to King Bimbisāra’s house and sat down on the prepared seat.
Atha kho rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro yenāyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ dhaniyaṁ kumbhakāraputtaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
The King approached Dhaniya, bowed, sat down,
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro āyasmantaṁ dhaniyaṁ kumbhakāraputtaṁ etadavoca—
and said,
“saccaṁ kira mayā, bhante, devagahadārūni nagarapaṭisaṅkhārikāni āpadatthāya nikkhittāni ayyassa dinnānī”ti?
“Is it true, Venerable, that I have given to you the timber held for repairs of the town and put aside in case of an emergency”

“Evaṁ, mahārājā”ti.
“Yes, great king.”

“Sarasi tvaṁ, mahārāja, paṭhamābhisitto evarūpiṁ vācaṁ bhāsitā—
“Do you remember, great king, when you were first anointed, speaking these words:

They are afraid of wrongdoing even in regard to small matters.

Manussā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
But people complained and criticized him:
“alajjino ime samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dussīlā musāvādino.
“These Sakyan monastics are shameless and immoral liars.
Ime hi nāma dhammacārino samacārino brāhmacārino saccavādino sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā paṭijānissanti.
They claim to have integrity, to be celibate and of good conduct, to be truthful, moral, and good.
Natthi imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ, natthi imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ.
But they don’t have the good character of a monastic or a brahmin.

The monks heard the complaints of those people.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā santuṭṭhā lajjino kukkuccakā sikkhākāmā te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires, who had a sense of conscience, and who were contented, afraid of wrongdoing, and fond of the training, complained and criticized Venerable Dhaniya,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā dhaniyo kumbhakāraputto rañño dārūni adinnaṁ ādiyissatī”ti.
“How could he take the King’s timber without it being given to him?”

Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ dhaniyaṁ kumbhakāraputtaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
After rebuking Dhaniya in many ways, they told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ dhaniyaṁ kumbhakāraputtaṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha then had the Sangha of monks gathered and questioned Venerable Dhaniya:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, dhaniya, rañño dārūni adinnaṁ ādiyī”ti?
“Is it true, Dhaniya, that you did this?”

“anāpatti, bhikkhave, pārājikassa;
“There’s no offense entailing expulsion,

but there’s an offense entailing confession for lying in full awareness.”

Tena kho pana samayena vesāliyaṁ āyasmato ajjukassa upaṭṭhākassa gahapatino dve dārakā honti— putto ca bhāgineyyo ca.
At that time there was a householder in Vesāli who was a supporter of Venerable Ajjuka and who had two children living with him, a son and a nephew.
Atha kho so gahapati āyasmantaṁ ajjukaṁ etadavoca—
He said to Ajjuka,
“imaṁ, bhante, okāsaṁ yo imesaṁ dvinnaṁ dārakānaṁ saddho hoti pasanno tassa ācikkheyyāsī”ti.
“Sir, please assign my property to the one of these two boys who has faith and confidence.”
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena tassa gahapatino bhāgineyyo saddho hoti pasanno. Atha kho āyasmā ajjuko taṁ okāsaṁ tassa dārakassa ācikkhi.
It turned out that the householder’s nephew had faith and confidence, and so Ajjuka assigned the property to him.
So tena sāpateyyena kuṭumbañca saṇṭhapesi dānañca paṭṭhapesi.
He then established a household with that wealth and made a gift.
----
----
Atha kho tassa gahapatino putto āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca—
The householder’s son then said to Venerable Ānanda,
“ko nu kho, bhante ānanda, pituno dāyajjo— putto vā bhāgineyyo vā”ti?
“Who is the father’s heir, Venerable Ānanda, the son or the nephew?”
----
----
“Putto kho, āvuso, pituno dāyajjo”ti.
“The son is the father’s heir.”
----
----
“Ayaṁ, bhante, ayyo ajjuko amhākaṁ sāpateyyaṁ amhākaṁ methunakassa ācikkhī”ti.
“Sir, Venerable Ajjuka has assigned our wealth to our housemate.”
----
----
“Assamaṇo, āvuso, āyasmā ajjuko”ti.
“Venerable Ajjuka is not a monastic anymore.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā ajjuko āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca—
Ajjuka then said to Ānanda,
“dehi me, āvuso ānanda, vinicchayan”ti.
“Ānanda, please do a proper investigation.”
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā upāli āyasmato ajjukassa pakkho hoti.
On that occasion Venerable Upāli was siding with Ajjuka,
Atha kho āyasmā upāli āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ etadavoca—
and he said to Ānanda,
“yo nu kho, āvuso ānanda, sāmikena ‘imaṁ okāsaṁ itthannāmassa ācikkheyyāsī’ti vutto tassa ācikkhati, kiṁ so āpajjatī”ti?
“Ānanda, when one is asked by the owner to assign a property to so-and-so and one does as asked, what has one committed?”
----
----
“Na, bhante, kiñci āpajjati, antamaso dukkaṭamattampī”ti.
“One hasn’t committed anything, Sir, not even an act of wrong conduct.”
----
----
“Ayaṁ, āvuso, āyasmā ajjuko sāmikena—‘imaṁ okāsaṁ itthannāmassa ācikkhā’ti vutto tassa ācikkhati;
“Venerable Ajjuka was asked by the owner to assign his property to so-and-so, which he did.
anāpatti, āvuso, āyasmato ajjukassā”ti.
There’s no offense for Venerable Ajjuka.”
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena bārāṇasiyaṁ āyasmato pilindavacchassa upaṭṭhākakulaṁ corehi upaddutaṁ hoti.
At that time a family in Benares that supported Venerable Pilindavaccha was harassed by criminals.
Dve ca dārakā nītā honti.
Two of their children were kidnapped.
Atha kho āyasmā pilindavaccho te dārake iddhiyā ānetvā pāsāde ṭhapesi.
Soon afterwards Pilindavaccha brought those children back by his supernormal powers and put them in a stilt house.
----
----
Manussā te dārake passitvā—
When people saw those children, they said,
“ayyassāyaṁ pilindavacchassa iddhānubhāvo”ti,
“This is the greatness of Venerable Pilindavaccha’s supernormal powers,”
āyasmante pilindavacche abhippasīdiṁsu.
and they gained confidence in him.
----
----
Bhikkhū ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
But the monks complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā pilindavaccho corehi nīte dārake ānessatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Pilindavaccha bring back children who had been kidnapped by criminals?”
Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They told the Buddha.
----
----
“Anāpatti, bhikkhave, iddhimassa iddhivisaye”ti.
“There’s no offense for someone who uses their supernormal powers.”
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena dve bhikkhū sahāyakā honti—paṇḍuko ca kapilo ca.
At that time the two monks Paṇḍaka and Kapila were friends.
Eko gāmake viharati, eko kosambiyaṁ.
One was staying in a village and one at Kosambī.
Atha kho tassa bhikkhuno gāmakā kosambiṁ gacchantassa antarāmagge nadiṁ tarantassa sūkarikānaṁ hatthato muttā medavaṭṭi pāde laggā hoti.
Then, while one of them was traveling from that village to Kosambī, he had to cross a river. As he did so, a lump of fat that had escaped from the hands of a pork-butcher stuck to his foot.
So bhikkhu—“sāmikānaṁ dassāmī”ti aggahesi.
He grabbed it, thinking, “I’ll give it to the owners.”
Sāmikā taṁ bhikkhuṁ codesuṁ—
But the owners accused him, saying,
“assamaṇosi tvan”ti.
“You’re not a monastic anymore!”
----
----
Taṁ uttiṇṇaṁ gopālikā passitvā etadavoca—
Just then a woman cowherd who had seen him crossing said,
“ehi, bhante, methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevā”ti.
“Come, Sir, have sexual intercourse.”
So—“pakatiyāpāhaṁ assamaṇo”ti tassā methunaṁ dhammaṁ paṭisevitvā
Thinking he was no longer a monastic, he had sexual intercourse with her.
----
----
kosambiṁ gantvā bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
When he arrived at Kosambī, he told the monks,
Bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
who in turn told the Buddha.
“Anāpatti, bhikkhave, adinnādāne pārājikassa;
“There’s no offense entailing expulsion for stealing,
āpatti methunadhammasamāyoge pārājikassā”ti.
but there’s an offense entailing expulsion for having sexual intercourse.”
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena sāgalāyaṁ āyasmato daḷhikassa saddhivihāriko bhikkhu anabhiratiyā pīḷito āpaṇikassa veṭhanaṁ avaharitvā āyasmantaṁ daḷhikaṁ etadavoca—
At that time a monk at Sāgalā who was a student of Venerable Daḷhika was plagued by lust. He stole a turban from a shopkeeper and said to Daḷhika,
“assamaṇo ahaṁ, bhante, vibbhamissāmī”ti.
“Sir, I’m not a monastic anymore. I’ll disrobe.”
----
----
“Kiṁ tayā, āvuso, katan”ti?
“But what have you done?”
So tamatthaṁ ārocesi.
He told him.
Āharāpetvā agghāpesi.
Venerable Daḷhika had the turban brought and valued.
Taṁ agghāpentaṁ na pañcamāsake agghati.
It was worth less than five māsaka coins.
“Anāpatti, āvuso, pārājikassā”ti.
Saying, “There’s no offense entailing expulsion,”
Dhammakathaṁ akāsi.
he gave a teaching.
So bhikkhu abhiramatīti.
And that monk was delighted.
----
----
Dutiyapārājikaṁ samattaṁ.
The second offense entailing expulsion is finished.

Origin story

First sub-story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.
At one time the Buddha was staying in the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood near Vesālī.
Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā bhikkhūnaṁ anekapariyāyena asubhakathaṁ katheti, asubhāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, asubhabhāvanāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, ādissa ādissa asubhasamāpattiyā vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati.
At that time the Buddha spoke to the monks in many ways about unattractiveness—he spoke in praise of unattractiveness, of developing the mind in unattractiveness, and of the attainment of unattractiveness.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—
The Buddha then addressed the monks:
“icchāmahaṁ, bhikkhave, addhamāsaṁ paṭisallīyituṁ.
“Monks, I wish to go into solitary retreat for half a month.
Namhi kenaci upasaṅkamitabbo, aññatra ekena piṇḍapātanīhārakenā”ti.
No one should visit me except the one who brings me almsfood.”
----
----
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti, kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paṭissuṇitvā nāssudha koci bhagavantaṁ upasaṅkamati, aññatra ekena piṇḍapātanīhārakena.
“Yes, Venerable Sir.”
----
----
Bhikkhū—“bhagavā kho anekapariyāyena asubhakathaṁ katheti, asubhāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, asubhabhāvanāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, ādissa ādissa asubhasamāpattiyā vaṇṇaṁ bhāsatī”ti,
Soon afterwards the monks reflected that the Buddha had praised unattractiveness in many ways,
te anekākāravokāraṁ asubhabhāvanānuyogamanuyuttā viharanti.
and they devoted themselves to developing the mind in unattractiveness in its many different facets.
Te sakena kāyena aṭṭīyanti harāyanti jigucchanti.
As a consequence, they became troubled by their own bodies, ashamed of and disgusted with them.
Seyyathāpi nāma itthī vā puriso vā daharo yuvā maṇḍanakajātiko sīsaṁnhāto ahikuṇapena vā kukkurakuṇapena vā manussakuṇapena vā kaṇṭhe āsattena aṭṭīyeyya harāyeyya jiguccheyya;
Just as a young woman or man—someone fond of adornments, with freshly washed hair—would be ashamed, humiliated, and disgusted if the carcass of a snake, dog, or man was hung around her neck,
evameva te bhikkhū sakena kāyena aṭṭīyantā harāyantā jigucchantā
just so those monks were troubled by their own bodies.
attanāpi attānaṁ jīvitā voropenti, aññamaññampi jīvitā voropenti,
They took their own lives, took the lives of one another,
migalaṇḍikampi samaṇakuttakaṁ upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadanti—
and they went to Migalaṇḍika, the monastic lookalike, and said,
“sādhu no, āvuso, jīvitā voropehi.
“Please kill us.
Idaṁ te pattacīvaraṁ bhavissatī”ti.
You will get our bowl and robes.”
Atha kho migalaṇḍiko samaṇakuttako pattacīvarehi bhaṭo sambahule bhikkhū jīvitā voropetvā lohitakaṁ asiṁ ādāya yena vaggumudā nadī tenupasaṅkami.
And hired for a bowl and robes, Migalaṇḍika killed a number of monks. He then took his blood-stained knife to the river Vaggumudā.
----
----
Atha kho migalaṇḍikassa samaṇakuttakassa lohitakaṁ taṁ asiṁ dhovantassa ahudeva kukkuccaṁ ahu vippaṭisāro—
While washing it, he became anxious and remorseful, thinking,
“alābhā vata me, na vata me lābhā; dulladdhaṁ vata me, na vata me suladdhaṁ.
“What the heck have I done?
Bahuṁ vata mayā apuññaṁ pasutaṁ, yohaṁ bhikkhū sīlavante kalyāṇadhamme jīvitā voropesin”ti.
I’ve made so much demerit by killing good monks.”
----
----
Atha kho aññatarā mārakāyikā devatā abhijjamāne udake āgantvā migalaṇḍikaṁ samaṇakuttakaṁ etadavoca—
Then a god from the realm of the Lord of Death, coming across the water, said to Migalaṇḍika,
“sādhu sādhu, sappurisa, lābhā te, sappurisa, suladdhaṁ te, sappurisa.
“Well done, superior man, you’re truly fortunate.
Bahuṁ tayā, sappurisa, puññaṁ pasutaṁ, yaṁ tvaṁ atiṇṇe tāresī”ti.
You’ve made much merit by helping across those who hadn’t yet crossed.”
----
----
Atha kho migalaṇḍiko samaṇakuttako—
Migalaṇḍika thought,
“lābhā kira me, suladdhaṁ kira me, bahuṁ kira mayā puññaṁ pasutaṁ, atiṇṇe kirāhaṁ tāremī”ti,
“So it seems that I’m fortunate, that I’ve made much merit!”
tiṇhaṁ asiṁ ādāya vihārena vihāraṁ pariveṇena pariveṇaṁ upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadeti—
He then went from dwelling to dwelling, from yard to yard, and said,
“ko atiṇṇo, kaṁ tāremī”ti?
“Who hasn’t crossed yet? Who can I help across?”
Tattha ye te bhikkhū avītarāgā tesaṁ tasmiṁ samaye hotiyeva bhayaṁ hoti chambhitattaṁ hoti lomahaṁso.
The monks who still had worldly attachments became fearful and terrified, with goosebumps all over.
Ye pana te bhikkhū vītarāgā tesaṁ tasmiṁ samaye na hoti bhayaṁ na hoti chambhitattaṁ na hoti lomahaṁso.
Only those who were free from worldly attachments were unaffected.
----
----
Atha kho migalaṇḍiko samaṇakuttako ekampi bhikkhuṁ ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, dvepi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, tayopi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, cattāropi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, pañcapi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, dasapi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, vīsampi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, tiṁsampi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, cattālīsampi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, paññāsampi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi, saṭṭhimpi bhikkhū ekāhena jīvitā voropesi.
Then, on a single day, Migalaṇḍika killed one monk, two monks, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, even sixty monks.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā tassa addhamāsassa accayena paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi—
At the end of that half-month, when the Buddha came out of seclusion, he said to Venerable Ānanda,
“kiṁ nu kho, ānanda, tanubhūto viya bhikkhusaṅgho”ti?
“Ānanda, why is the Sangha of monks so reduced?”
----
----
“Tathā hi pana, bhante, bhagavā bhikkhūnaṁ anekapariyāyena asubhakathaṁ katheti, asubhāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, asubhabhāvanāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, ādissa ādissa asubhasamāpattiyā vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati.
Ānanda told him what had happened,
Te ca, bhante, bhikkhū— ‘bhagavā kho anekapariyāyena asubhakathaṁ katheti, asubhāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, asubhabhāvanāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsati, ādissa ādissa asubhasamāpattiyā vaṇṇaṁ bhāsatī’ti, te anekākāravokāraṁ asubhabhāvanānuyogamanuyuttā viharanti.

Sādhu, bhante, bhagavā aññaṁ pariyāyaṁ ācikkhatu yathāyaṁ bhikkhusaṅgho aññāya saṇṭhaheyyā”ti.
adding, “Please give another instruction, Venerable Sir, for the Sangha of monks to become established in perfect insight.”
----
----
“Tenahānanda, yāvatikā bhikkhū vesāliṁ upanissāya viharanti te sabbe upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannipātehī”ti.
“Well then, Ānanda, bring together in the assembly hall all the monks who live supported by Vesālī.”
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti,
“Yes.”
kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paṭissuṇitvā yāvatikā bhikkhū vesāliṁ upanissāya viharanti te sabbe upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannipātetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
When he had done so, he went to the Buddha and said,
“sannipatito, bhante, bhikkhusaṅgho;
“Sir, the Sangha of monks is gathered.
yassadāni, bhante, bhagavā kālaṁ maññatī”ti.
Please do as you think appropriate.”
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā yena upaṭṭhānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—
The Buddha then went to the assembly hall, sat down on the prepared seat, and addressed the monks:
----
----
“Ayampi kho, bhikkhave, ānāpānassatisamādhi bhāvito bahulīkato santo ceva paṇīto ca asecanako ca sukho ca vihāro uppannuppanne ca pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti.
“Monks, when undistractible-lucidity by mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it is peaceful and sublime, and a satisfying state of bliss. And it removes bad and unwholesome qualities on the spot, whenever they arise.
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gimhānaṁ pacchime māse uhataṁ rajojallaṁ tamenaṁ mahāakālamegho ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti;
Just as a great, unseasonal storm in the last month of the hot season removes the dust and dirt from the air,
evameva kho, bhikkhave, ānāpānassatisamādhi bhāvito bahulīkato santo ceva paṇīto ca asecanako ca sukho ca vihāro uppannuppanne ca pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti.
just so, when undistractible-lucidity by mindfulness of breathing is developed and cultivated, it is peaceful and sublime, and it removes bad and unwholesome qualities on the spot, whenever they arise.
----

Kathaṁ bhāvito ca, bhikkhave, ānāpānassatisamādhi kathaṁ bahulīkato santo ceva paṇīto ca asecanako ca sukho ca vihāro uppannuppanne ca pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti?
And how is undistractible-lucidity by mindfulness of breathing developed and cultivated in this way?

Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā bhikkhū paṭipucchi—
The Buddha then had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhū attanāpi attānaṁ jīvitā voropenti, aññamaññampi jīvitā voropenti migalaṇḍikampi samaṇakuttakaṁ upasaṅkamitvā evaṁ vadanti—
“Is it true, monks, that there are monks who have taken their own lives, who have killed one another, and who have said to Migalaṇḍika,
‘sādhu no, āvuso, jīvitā voropehi, idaṁ te pattacīvaraṁ bhavissatī’”ti?
‘Please kill us. You will get our bowl and robes’?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked them,
“ananucchavikaṁ, bhikkhave, tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ ananulomikaṁ appaṭirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“Monks, it’s not suitable for these monks, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it should not be done.

At one time a certain lay follower was sick.
Tassa pajāpati abhirūpā hoti dassanīyā pāsādikā.
He had a beautiful and pleasant wife,
Chabbaggiyā bhikkhū tassā itthiyā paṭibaddhacittā honti.

They said to each other,
“sace kho so, āvuso, upāsako jīvissati na mayaṁ taṁ itthiṁ labhissāma.
“If this lay follower recovers, we won’t get her.

Death is better for you.

But his wife complained and criticized those monks,

“These Sakyan monastics are shameless and immoral liars.

Those monks who had few desires and a sense of conscience, who were contented, afraid of wrongdoing, and fond of the training, complained and criticized those monks,

Definitions
Yo panāti
A:
yo yādiso …pe…
whoever …
bhikkhūti
Monk:
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.
Sañciccāti
Intentionally:
jānanto sañjānanto cecca abhivitaritvā vītikkamo.
knowing, perceiving, having intended, having decided, he transgresses.
Manussaviggaho nāma
A human being:
yaṁ mātukucchismiṁ paṭhamaṁ cittaṁ uppannaṁ paṭhamaṁ viññāṇaṁ pātubhūtaṁ, yāva maraṇakālā etthantare eso manussaviggaho nāma.
from the mind’s first appearance in the mother’s womb, from the first manifestation of consciousness, until the time of death: in between these—this is called “a human being”.
Jīvitā voropeyyāti
Kills:
jīvitindriyaṁ upacchindati uparodheti santatiṁ vikopeti.
Cuts off the life faculty, brings it to an end, interrupts its continuation.
Satthahārakaṁ vāssa pariyeseyyāti
Or seeks an instrument of death for him:
asiṁ vā sattiṁ vā bheṇḍiṁ vā laguḷaṁ vā pāsāṇaṁ vā satthaṁ vā visaṁ vā rajjuṁ vā.
a sword, a dagger, an arrow, a club, a rock, a knife, poison, or a rope.
Maraṇavaṇṇaṁ vā saṁvaṇṇeyyāti
Or praises death:
jīvite ādīnavaṁ dasseti, maraṇe vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati.
he shows the disadvantage in living and speaks in praise of death.
Maraṇāya vā samādapeyyāti
Or incites someone to die:
satthaṁ vā āhara, visaṁ vā khāda, rajjuyā vā ubbandhitvā kālaṁ karohīti.
he says, “Kill yourself with a knife,” “Eat poison,” “Die by hanging yourself with a rope.”
Ambho purisāti
My friend:
ālapanādhivacanametaṁ.
this is a form of address.
Kiṁ tuyhiminā pāpakena dujjīvitenāti
What’s the point of this miserable and difficult life:
pāpakaṁ nāma jīvitaṁ
Miserable life:
aḍḍhānaṁ jīvitaṁ upādāya daliddānaṁ jīvitaṁ pāpakaṁ lāmakaṁ,
the life of the poor is miserable compared to the life of the rich;
sadhanānaṁ jīvitaṁ upādāya adhanānaṁ jīvitaṁ pāpakaṁ,
the life of the impoverished is miserable compared to the life of the wealthy;
devānaṁ jīvitaṁ upādāya manussānaṁ jīvitaṁ pāpakaṁ.
the life of humans is miserable compared to the life of the gods.
Dujjīvitaṁ nāma
Difficult life:
hatthacchinnassa pādacchinnassa hatthapādacchinnassa kaṇṇacchinnassa nāsacchinnassa kaṇṇanāsacchinnassa,
the life of one whose hands are cut off, whose feet are cut off, whose hands and feet are cut off, whose ears are cut off, whose nose is cut off, whose ears and nose are cut off.
iminā ca pāpakena iminā ca dujjīvitena mataṁ te jīvitā seyyoti.
Because of this sort of miserableness and this sort of difficult life, one says, “Death is better for you than life!”
Iti cittamanoti
Thinking:
yaṁ cittaṁ taṁ mano, yaṁ mano taṁ cittaṁ.
mind and thought are equivalent.
Cittasaṅkappoti
Intending:
maraṇasaññī maraṇacetano maraṇādhippāyo.
perceiving death, intending death, aiming at death.
Anekapariyāyenāti
In many ways:
uccāvacehi ākārehi.
in various manners.
Maraṇavaṇṇaṁ vā saṁvaṇṇeyyāti
He praises death:
jīvite ādīnavaṁ dasseti, maraṇe vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati—
he shows the disadvantage in living and speaks in praise of death, saying,
“ito tvaṁ kālaṅkato kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjissasi,
“When you’ve passed away, you’ll be reborn in a happy destination, in heaven.
tattha dibbehi pañcahi kāmaguṇehi samappito samaṅgībhūto paricāressasī”ti.
There you’ll be able to enjoy the pleasures of heaven.”
Maraṇāya vā samādapeyyāti
Or incites someone to die:
satthaṁ vā āhara, visaṁ vā khāda, rajjuyā vā ubbandhitvā kālaṁ karohi, sobbhe vā narake vā papāte vā papatāti.
he says, “Kill yourself with a knife,” “Eat poison,” “Die by hanging yourself with a rope,” “Jump into a chasm,” “Jump into a pit,” “Jump off a cliff.”
Ayampīti
He too:
purime upādāya vuccati.
this is said with reference to the preceding offenses entailing expulsion.
Pārājiko hotīti
Is expelled:
seyyathāpi nāma puthusilā dvidhā bhinnā appaṭisandhikā hoti,
just as an ordinary stone that has broken in half cannot be put back together again,
evameva bhikkhu sañcicca manussaviggahaṁ jīvitā voropetvā assamaṇo hoti asakyaputtiyo.
so too is a monk who has intentionally killed a human being not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic.
Tena vuccati— “pārājiko hotī”ti.
Therefore it is said, “he is expelled.”
Asaṁvāsoti
Excluded from the community:
saṁvāso nāma ekakammaṁ ekuddeso samasikkhatā— eso saṁvāso nāma.
Community: joint legal procedures, a joint recitation, the same training—this is called “community”.
So tena saddhiṁ natthi, tena vuccati asaṁvāsoti.
He does not take part in this—therefore it is called “excluded from the community”.

Origin story

First sub-story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.
At one time when the Buddha was staying in the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood near Vesālī,
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā sandiṭṭhā sambhattā bhikkhū vaggumudāya nadiyā tīre vassaṁ upagacchiṁsu.
a number of monks who were friends had entered the rainy-season residence on the banks of the river Vaggumudā.
Tena kho pana samayena vajjī dubbhikkhā hoti dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā,
At that time Vajjī was short of food and afflicted with hunger, with crops affected by whiteheads and turned to straw.
na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
It was not easy to get by on almsfood.
----
----
Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—“etarahi kho vajjī dubbhikkhā dvīhitikā setaṭṭhikā salākāvuttā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
The monks considered the difficult circumstances, and they thought,
Kena nu kho mayaṁ upāyena samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vaseyyāma,
“How can we have a comfortable rains, live in peace and harmony,
na ca piṇḍakena kilameyyāmā”ti?
and get almsfood without trouble?”
----
----
Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—
Some said,
“handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhema,
“We could work for the householders,
evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.
and they’ll support us in return.”
Evaṁ mayaṁ samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasissāma,

----

Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—
Others said,
“alaṁ, āvuso, kiṁ gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhitena.
“There’s no need to work for the householders.
Handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ dūteyyaṁ harāma,
Let’s instead take messages for them,
evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.
and they’ll support us in return.”

Ekacce evamāhaṁsu—
Still others said,
“alaṁ, āvuso, kiṁ gihīnaṁ kammantaṁ adhiṭṭhitena.
“There’s no need to work or take messages for them.
Kiṁ gihīnaṁ dūteyyaṁ haṭena.
....
Handa mayaṁ, āvuso, gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissāma—
Let’s instead talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to the householders:
‘asuko bhikkhu paṭhamassa jhānassa lābhī,
‘That monk has the first jhāna,
asuko bhikkhu dutiyassa jhānassa lābhī,
that monk the second jhāna,
asuko bhikkhu tatiyassa jhānassa lābhī,
that monk the third,
asuko bhikkhu catutthassa jhānassa lābhī,
that monk the fourth;
asuko bhikkhu sotāpanno,
that monk is a stream-enterer,
asuko bhikkhu sakadāgāmī,
that monk a once-returner,
asuko bhikkhu anāgāmī,
that a non-returner,
asuko bhikkhu arahā,
that a perfected one;
asuko bhikkhu tevijjo,
that monk has the three true insights,
asuko bhikkhu chaḷabhiñño’ti.
and that the six direct knowledges.’
Evaṁ te amhākaṁ dātuṁ maññissanti.
Then they’ll support us.
Evaṁ mayaṁ samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasissāma,
In this way we’ll have a comfortable rains, live together in peace and harmony,
na ca piṇḍakena kilamissāmā”ti.
and get almsfood without trouble.
“Esoyeva kho, āvuso, seyyo yo amhākaṁ gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇo bhāsito”ti.
This is the way to go.”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsiṁsu—
Then those monks did just that.
“asuko bhikkhu paṭhamassa jhānassa lābhī …pe…
....
asuko bhikkhu chaḷabhiñño”ti.
....
Atha kho te manussā—
And the people there thought,
“lābhā vata no, suladdhaṁ vata no, yesaṁ no evarūpā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagatā;
“We’re so fortunate that such monks have come to us for the rainy-season residence.
na vata no ito pubbe evarūpā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagatā yathayime bhikkhū sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā”ti,
Such virtuous and good monks have never before entered the rains residence with us.”
te na tādisāni bhojanāni attanā paribhuñjanti mātāpitūnaṁ denti puttadārassa denti dāsakammakaraporisassa denti mittāmaccānaṁ denti ñātisālohitānaṁ denti, yādisāni bhikkhūnaṁ denti.
And they gave such food and drink to those monks that they did not even eat and drink themselves, or give to their parents, to their wives and children, to their slaves, servants, and workers, to their friends and companions, or to their relatives.
Te na tādisāni khādanīyāni sāyanīyāni pānāni attanā khādanti sāyanti pivanti mātāpitūnaṁ denti puttadārassa denti dāsakammakaraporisassa denti mittāmaccānaṁ denti ñātisālohitānaṁ denti, yādisāni bhikkhūnaṁ denti.
....
Atha kho te bhikkhū vaṇṇavā ahesuṁ pīṇindriyā pasannamukhavaṇṇā vippasannachavivaṇṇā.
Soon those monks had a good color, bright faces, clear skin, and sharp senses.
----
----
Āciṇṇaṁ kho panetaṁ vassaṁvuṭṭhānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ bhagavantaṁ dassanāya upasaṅkamituṁ.
Now it was the custom for monks who had completed the rainy-season residence to go and visit the Buddha.
Atha kho te bhikkhū vassaṁvuṭṭhā temāsaccayena senāsanaṁ saṁsāmetvā pattacīvaraṁ ādāya yena vesālī tena pakkamiṁsu.
And so, when the three months were over and they had completed the rains residence, those monks put their dwellings in order, took their bowls and robes, and set out for Vesālī.
Anupubbena yena vesālī mahāvanaṁ kūṭāgārasālā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu.
When they eventually arrived, they went to the hall with the peaked roof in the Great Wood. There they approached the Buddha, bowed, and sat down.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena disāsu vassaṁvuṭṭhā bhikkhū kisā honti lūkhā dubbaṇṇā uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātā dhamanisanthatagattā;
At that time the monks who had completed the rains residence in that region were thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over their bodies.
vaggumudātīriyā pana bhikkhū vaṇṇavā honti pīṇindriyā pasannamukhavaṇṇā vippasannachavivaṇṇā.
Yet the monks from the banks of the Vaggumudā had a good color, bright faces, clear skin, and sharp senses.
Āciṇṇaṁ kho panetaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ āgantukehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ paṭisammodituṁ.
Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly arrived monks,
Atha kho bhagavā vaggumudātīriye bhikkhū etadavoca—
the Buddha said to them,
“kacci, bhikkhave, khamanīyaṁ kacci yāpanīyaṁ
“I hope you’re keeping well, monks, I hope you’re getting by?
----
----
kacci samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasittha, na ca piṇḍakena kilamitthā”ti?
I hope you had a comfortable and harmonious rains, and got almsfood without trouble?”
----
----
“Khamanīyaṁ, bhagavā, yāpanīyaṁ, bhagavā.
“We’re keeping well, Venerable Sir, we’re getting by.
Samaggā ca mayaṁ, bhante, sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasimhā, na ca piṇḍakena kilamimhā”ti.
We had a comfortable and harmonious rains, and got almsfood without trouble.”
Jānantāpi tathāgatā pucchanti, jānantāpi na pucchanti …pe…
When Buddhas know what is going on, sometimes they ask and sometimes not. They know the right time to ask and when not to ask. Buddhas ask when it is beneficial, otherwise not, for Buddhas are incapable of doing what is unbeneficial.
dvīhākārehi buddhā bhagavanto bhikkhū paṭipucchanti— “dhammaṁ vā desessāma, sāvakānaṁ vā sikkhāpadaṁ paññapessāmā”ti.
Buddhas question the monks for two reasons: to give a teaching or to lay down a training rule.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā vaggumudātīriye bhikkhū etadavoca—
And the Buddha said to those monks,
“yathā kathaṁ pana tumhe, bhikkhave, samaggā sammodamānā avivadamānā phāsukaṁ vassaṁ vasittha na ca piṇḍakena kilamitthā”ti?
“In what way, monks, did you have a comfortable and harmonious rains? And how did you get almsfood without trouble?”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked them,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisā, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“It’s not suitable, foolish men, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, udarassa kāraṇā gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissatha.
How could you for the sake of your stomachs talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to householders?
Varaṁ tumhehi, moghapurisā, tiṇhena govikantanena kucchi parikanto, na tveva udarassa kāraṇā gihīnaṁ aññamaññassa uttarimanussadhammassa vaṇṇo bhāsito.
It would be better for your bellies to be cut open with a sharp butcher’s knife than for you to talk up one another’s superhuman qualities to householders.
Taṁ kissa hetu?
Why is that?
Tatonidānañhi, moghapurisā, maraṇaṁ vā nigaccheyya maraṇamattaṁ vā dukkhaṁ,
For although it might cause death or death-like suffering,
na tveva tappaccayā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapajjeyya.
it would not cause you to be reborn in a bad destination.

But this might.

Anabhijānanti
Falsely:

although a certain wholesome quality is non-existent in himself, not real, not to be found, and he does not see it or know it, he says, “I have this wholesome quality.”
Uttarimanussadhammo nāma
A superhuman quality:

Attupanāyikanti
For himself:

either he presents those good qualities as in himself, or he presents himself as among those good qualities.
Ñāṇanti
Knowledge:

This I know, this I see:
jānāmahaṁ ete dhamme, passāmahaṁ ete dhamme atthi ca ete dhammā mayi, ahañca etesu dhammesu sandissāmīti.
“I know these qualities,” “I see these qualities,” “These qualities are found in me and I conform to them.”

yasmiṁ khaṇe samudāciṇṇaṁ hoti taṁ khaṇaṁ taṁ layaṁ taṁ muhuttaṁ vītivatte.
the moment, the second, the instant after he has made the claim.
Samanuggāhīyamānoti
He is questioned:
yaṁ vatthu paṭiññātaṁ hoti tasmiṁ vatthusmiṁ samanuggāhīyamāno—
he is questioned in regard to what he has claimed:
“kinte adhigataṁ,
“What did you attain?”
kinti te adhigataṁ,
“How did you attain it?”
kadā te adhigataṁ,
“When did you attain it?”
kattha te adhigataṁ,

“Which qualities did you gain?”
Asamanuggāhīyamānoti

na kenaci vuccamāno.
he is not spoken to by anyone.
Āpannoti
Having committed the offense:
pāpiccho icchāpakato asantaṁ abhūtaṁ uttarimanussadhammaṁ ullapitvā pārājikaṁ āpattiṁ āpanno hoti.
having bad desires, overcome by desire, claiming to have a non-existent, unreal superhuman quality, he has committed an offense entailing expulsion.
Visuddhāpekkhoti
Seeking purification:
gihī vā hotukāmo upāsako vā hotukāmo ārāmiko vā hotukāmo sāmaṇero vā hotukāmo.
he desires to be a householder, a lay follower, a monastery worker, or a novice monk.
Ajānamevaṁ, āvuso, avacaṁ—jānāmi, apassaṁ passāmīti
Not knowing I said that I know, not seeing that I see:
nāhaṁ ete dhamme jānāmi, nāhaṁ ete dhamme passāmi, natthi ca ete dhammā mayi, na cāhaṁ etesu dhammesu sandissāmīti.
“I don’t know these qualities,” “I don’t see these qualities,” “These qualities aren’t found in me and I don’t conform to them.”
Tucchaṁ musā vilapinti
What I said was empty and false:
tucchakaṁ mayā bhaṇitaṁ, musā mayā bhaṇitaṁ, abhūtaṁ mayā bhaṇitaṁ, ajānantena mayā bhaṇitaṁ.
“What I said was empty,” “What I said was false,” “What I said was unreal,” “I said it without knowing.”
Aññatra adhimānāti
Except if it is due to overestimation:
ṭhapetvā adhimānaṁ.
Unless it is due to overestimation.
Ayampīti
He too:
purime upādāya vuccati.
this is said with reference to the preceding offenses entailing expulsion.
Pārājiko hotīti
Is expelled:
seyyathāpi nāma tālo matthakacchinno abhabbo puna virūḷhiyā;
just as a palm tree with its crown cut off is incapable of further growth,
evameva bhikkhu pāpiccho icchāpakato asantaṁ abhūtaṁ uttarimanussadhammaṁ ullapitvā assamaṇo hoti asakyaputtiyo.
so too is a monk with bad desires, overcome by desire, who claims to have a non-existent superhuman quality not an ascetic, not a Sakyan monastic.
Tena vuccati— “pārājiko hotī”ti.
Therefore it is said, “he is expelled.”
Asaṁvāsoti
Excluded from the community:
saṁvāso nāma ekakammaṁ ekuddeso samasikkhatā— eso saṁvāso nāma.
Community: joint legal procedures, a joint recitation, the same training—this is called “community”.
So tena saddhiṁ natthi. Tena vuccati— “asaṁvāso”ti.
He does not take part in this—therefore it is called “excluded from the community”.

One morning Mahāmoggallāna robed up, took his bowl and robe, went to Lakkhaṇa, and said,
“Lakkhaṇa, let’s enter Rājagaha for almsfood.”

As they descended from the Vulture Peak, Mahāmoggallāna smiled at a certain place.

Lakkhaṇa asked him why, and Māhamoggallāna replied,

And Lakkhaṇa said to Mahāmoggallāna,

“idhāyasmā mahāmoggallāno gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohanto aññatarasmiṁ padese sitaṁ pātvākāsi.
“Earlier on, as we were descending from the Vulture Peak, you smiled at a certain place.

Vultures, crows, and hawks were pursuing it, striking it between the ribs,

Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, etadahosi—
And I thought

Pubbeva me so, bhikkhave, satto diṭṭho ahosi.
I too, monks, have seen that being,
Api cāhaṁ na byākāsiṁ.

Ahañcetaṁ byākareyyaṁ pare ca me na saddaheyyuṁ.
If I had, others wouldn’t have believed me,
Ye me na saddaheyyuṁ tesaṁ taṁ assa dīgharattaṁ ahitāya dukkhāya.
which would have led to their harm and suffering for a long time.
Eso, bhikkhave, satto imasmiṁyeva rājagahe goghātako ahosi.
That being was a cattle butcher right here in Rājagaha.
So tassa kammassa vipākena bahūni vassāni bahūni vassasatāni bahūni vassasahassāni bahūni vassasatasahassāni niraye paccitvā tasseva kammassa vipākāvasesena evarūpaṁ attabhāvappaṭilābhaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.
As a result of his deeds, he was tormented in hell for many hundreds of thousands of years. And now, because of the remaining result of his actions, he’s experiencing such an existence.
Saccaṁ, bhikkhave, moggallāno āha.
Moggallāna spoke truthfully.

Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—
The Buddha then said to them:
----

“cakkhubhūtā vata, bhikkhave, sāvakā viharanti.
“There are disciples who possess vision
Ñāṇabhūtā vata, bhikkhave, sāvakā viharanti.
and knowledge,
Yatra hi nāma sāvako evarūpaṁ ñassati vā dakkhati vā sakkhiṁ vā karissati.
who can see, know, and witness such things.
Pubbeva me sā, bhikkhave, sāmaṇerī diṭṭhā ahosi.
I too, monks, have seen that novice nun,
Api cāhaṁ na byākāsiṁ.
but I didn’t speak about it.
Ahañcetaṁ byākareyyaṁ pare ca me na saddaheyyuṁ.
If I had, others wouldn’t have believed me,
Ye me na saddaheyyuṁ tesaṁ taṁ assa dīgharattaṁ ahitāya dukkhāya.
which would have led to their harm and suffering for a long time.
Esā, bhikkhave, sāmaṇerī kassapassa sammāsambuddhassa pāvacane pāpasāmaṇerī ahosi.
During the time of Buddha Kassapa’s dispensation, she was a bad novice nun.
Sā tassa kammassa vipākena bahūni vassāni bahūni vassasatāni bahūni vassasahassāni bahūni vassasatasahassāni niraye paccitvā tasseva kammassa vipākāvasesena evarūpaṁ attabhāvappaṭilābhaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.
As a result of her deeds, she was tormented in hell for many hundreds of thousands of years. And now, because of the remaining result of her actions, she’s experiencing such an existence.

Moggallāna spoke truthfully.

There’s no offense for Moggallāna.”

Atha kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhikkhū āmantesi—
Venerable Mahāmoggallāna said to the monks,
“yatāyaṁ, āvuso, tapodā sandati so daho acchodako sītodako sātodako setako suppatittho ramaṇīyo pahūtamacchakacchapo cakkamattāni ca padumāni pupphantī”ti.

Bhikkhū ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks complained and criticized him,

At one time King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha was defeated in battle by the Licchavīs.

The King then rallied his army and beat the Licchavīs.

THE CHAPTER ON OFFENSES ENTAILING EXPULSION IS FINISHED.

2 – Saṅgh-ādisesa: Suspension

Sukka-visaṭṭhi: Masturbation, Bu Ss 1
A monk who intentionally ejaculates is to be suspended.
The introductory narrative to this and the next four rules, as well as a number of other rules in the monastic code, feature the monk Udāyī, who had a serious problem with keeping his sexual urges in check.
Either that or he is a literary stand-in for the real offenders.
Kāya-saṁsagga: Physical Contact, Bu Ss 2
A lustful monk who touches a woman is to be suspended.
Duṭṭhulla-vācā: Indecent Speech, Bu Ss 3
A lustful monk who uses sexually explicit language when speaking to a woman is to be suspended.
Attakāmpāricariya: Encouraging Someone to Serve One’s Desires, Bu Ss 4
A lustful monk who recommends to a woman that they have sexual intercourse is to be suspended.
Sañcaritta: Matchmaking, Bu Ss 5
A monk who acts as a go-between for a relationship between a man and a woman is to be suspended.
Kuṭi-kāra: Building a Hut, Bu Ss 6
When a monk builds a hut by means of begging, he must get the Order to approve the site and the hut must not exceed the maximum size limit.
A monk who breaches either of these conditions is to be suspended.
The origin story to this rule includes the Maṇikaṇṭha Jātaka tale, found in a slightly different form in the Jātaka collection.
There is also another edifying tale and an apparent reference to Raṭṭhapāla of the Raṭṭhapāla Sutta, MN 82.
Vihāra-kāra: Building a Dwelling, Bu Ss 7
A monk who builds a large dwelling without getting the site approved by the Order is to be suspended.
Duṭṭha-dosa: Making a Groundless Accusation Out of Anger Duṭṭhadosa, Bu Ss 8
A monk who in anger falsely accuses another monk of an offense entailing expulsion is to be suspended.
The background narrative to this rule features the extraordinary monk Dabba the Mallian who became an arahant at the age of seven.
Aññabhāgiya: Making an Accusation Out of Anger on an Irrelevant Pretext, Bu Ss 9
A monk who in anger uses a ploy to falsely accuse another monk of an offense entailing expulsion is to be suspended.
Saṅghabheda: Causing Schism in the Saṅgha, Bu Ss 10
A monk who tries to cause a schism in the Order is to be suspended.
The origin story to this rule gives an account of how Devadatta, the Buddha’s notorious cousin, tried to cause a schism in the Order.
Bhed-ānuvattaka: Following a Schismatic, Bu Ss 11
A monk who supports another monk who is trying to cause a schism in the Order is to be suspended.
Dubbaca: Difficult to Correct, Bu Ss 12
A monk who refuses to be corrected about breaches of the monastic code is to be suspended.
The narrative setting features the monk Channa who was particularly proud and difficult to deal with.
Kuladūsaka: Corrupters of Families, Bu Ss 13
A monk who causes the lay people in a certain place to lose confidence in the teachings of the Buddha should be banished from that place.
If he refuses to accept the banishment, he is to be suspended.
The introduction to this rule tells of the corrupt and merciless group of six monks, who were the offenders behind a large number of rules in the monastic code.

Origin story
....
First sub-story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā seyyasako anabhirato brahmacariyaṁ carati.
At that time Venerable Seyyasaka was dissatisfied with the spiritual life.
So tena kiso hoti lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.
He became thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over his body.
Addasa kho āyasmā udāyī āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ kisaṁ lūkhaṁ dubbaṇṇaṁ uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātaṁ dhamanisanthatagattaṁ. Disvāna āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ etadavoca—
Venerable Udāyī saw him in this condition and said to him,
“kissa tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto?
“Seyyasaka, you’re not looking well.
Kacci no tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, anabhirato brahmacariyaṁ carasī”ti?
You’re not dissatisfied with the spiritual life, are you?”
----
----
“Evamāvuso”ti.
“I am.”
----
----
“Tena hi tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, yāvadatthaṁ bhuñja yāvadatthaṁ supa yāvadatthaṁ nhāya.
“Well then, eat , sleep, and bathe as much as you like.
Yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjitvā yāvadatthaṁ supitvā yāvadatthaṁ nhāyitvā yadā te anabhirati uppajjati rāgo cittaṁ anuddhaṁseti tadā hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocehī”ti.
And whenever you become discontent and lust overwhelms you, just masturbate with your hand.”
“Kiṁ nu kho, āvuso, kappati evarūpaṁ kātun”ti?
“But is that allowable?”
----
----
“Āma, āvuso. Ahampi evaṁ karomī”ti.
“Yes, I do it too.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā seyyasako yāvadatthaṁ bhuñji yāvadatthaṁ supi yāvadatthaṁ nhāyi.
Then Seyyasaka ate, slept, and bathed as much as he liked,
Yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjitvā yāvadatthaṁ supitvā yāvadatthaṁ nhāyitvā yadā anabhirati uppajjati rāgo cittaṁ anuddhaṁseti tadā hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocesi.
and whenever he became discontent and lust overwhelmed him, he masturbated with his hand.
Atha kho āyasmā seyyasako aparena samayena vaṇṇavā ahosi pīṇindriyo pasannamukhavaṇṇo vippasannachavivaṇṇo.
After some time Seyyasaka had a good color, a bright face, clear skin, and sharp senses.
Atha kho āyasmato seyyasakassa sahāyakā bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ etadavocuṁ—
The monks who were his friends said to him,
“pubbe kho tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, kiso ahosi lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.
“Seyyasaka, you used to be thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over your body.
So dāni tvaṁ etarahi vaṇṇavā pīṇindriyo pasannamukhavaṇṇo vippasannachavivaṇṇo.
But now you have a good color, a bright face, clear skin, and sharp senses.
Kiṁ nu kho tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, bhesajjaṁ karosī”ti?
Have you been taking medicine?”
----
----
“Na kho ahaṁ, āvuso, bhesajjaṁ karomi.
“No.
Api cāhaṁ yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjāmi yāvadatthaṁ supāmi yāvadatthaṁ nhāyāmi.
I just eat, sleep, and bathe as much as I like,
Yāvadatthaṁ bhuñjitvā yāvadatthaṁ supitvā yāvadatthaṁ nhāyitvā yadā me anabhirati uppajjati rāgo cittaṁ anuddhaṁseti tadā hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocemī”ti.
and whenever I become discontent and lust overwhelms me, I masturbate with my hand.”
“Kiṁ pana tvaṁ, āvuso seyyasaka, yeneva hatthena saddhādeyyaṁ bhuñjasi teneva hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocesī”ti?
“Do you eat the food given in faith with the same hand you use to masturbate?”
----
----
“Evamāvuso”ti.
“Yes.”
----
----
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā seyyasako hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocessatī”ti.
“How can Venerable Seyyasaka masturbate with his hand?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They rebuked Seyyasaka in many ways and then told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha then had the Sangha gathered and questioned Seyyasaka:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, seyyasaka, hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocesī”ti?
“Is it true, Seyyasaka, that you do this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“Yes, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“Foolish man, it’s not suitable, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, hatthena upakkamitvā asuciṁ mocessasi.
How can you do this?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito no sarāgāya,
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of passion;
visaññogāya dhammo desito no saññogāya,
for freedom from bondage, not for the sake of bondage;
anupādānāya dhammo desito no saupādānāya.
for the sake of non-grasping, not for the sake of grasping?
Tattha nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, mayā virāgāya dhamme desite sarāgāya cetessasi, visaññogāya dhamme desite saññogāya cetessasi, anupādānāya dhamme desite saupādānāya cetessasi.
When I’ve taught like this, how can you choose passion, bondage, and grasping?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena rāgavirāgāya dhammo desito, madanimmadanāya pipāsavinayāya ālayasamugghātāya vaṭṭupacchedāya taṇhākkhayāya virāgāya nirodhāya nibbānāya dhammo desito?
Haven’t I given many teachings for the fading away of lust, for the clearing away of intoxication, for the removal of thirst, for the uprooting of attachment, for the cutting off of the round of rebirth, for the stopping of craving, for fading away, for ending, for extinguishment?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena kāmānaṁ pahānaṁ akkhātaṁ, kāmasaññānaṁ pariññā akkhātā, kāmapipāsānaṁ paṭivinayo akkhāto, kāmavitakkānaṁ samugghāto akkhāto, kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto?
Haven’t I given many teachings for the abandoning of sensual pleasures, for the full understanding of the perceptions of sensual pleasure, for the removal of thirst for sensual pleasure, for the elimination of thoughts of sensual pleasure, for the stilling of the fevers of sensual pleasure?
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya, pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya.
Foolish man, this will affect people’s confidence,
Atha khvetaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānañceva appasādāya, pasannānañca ekaccānaṁ aññathattāyā”ti.
and cause some to lose it.”
Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ seyyasakaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā dubbharatāya …pe…
Then, after rebuking Seyyasaka in many ways, the Buddha spoke in dispraise of being difficult to support …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
----
----
....
Preliminary ruling
“Sañcetanikā sukkavissaṭṭhi saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘Intentional emission of semen is an offense entailing suspension.’”
----
----
Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.
----
----
....
Second sub-story
Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhū paṇītabhojanāni bhuñjitvā muṭṭhassatī asampajānā niddaṁ okkamanti.
Soon afterwards some monks ate fine foods, fell asleep absentminded and heedless,
Tesaṁ muṭṭhassatīnaṁ asampajānānaṁ niddaṁ okkamantānaṁ supinantena asuci muccati.
and emitted semen while dreaming.
Tesaṁ kukkuccaṁ ahosi—
They became anxious, thinking,
“bhagavatā sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ—
“The Buddha has laid down a training rule
‘sañcetanikā sukkavissaṭṭhi saṅghādiseso’ti.
that intentional emission of semen is an offense entailing suspension.
Amhākañca supinantena asuci muccati.
We had an emission while dreaming,
Atthi cettha cetanā labbhati.
which is not without intention.
Kacci nu kho mayaṁ saṅghādisesaṁ āpattiṁ āpannā”ti?
Could it be that we’ve committed an offense entailing suspension?”
Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They told the Buddha.
“Atthesā, bhikkhave, cetanā;
“It’s true, monks, that a dream is not without intention,
sā ca kho abbohārikāti.
but it’s negligible.
Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
----
----
....
Final ruling
“Sañcetanikā sukkavissaṭṭhi aññatra supinantā saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘Intentional emission of semen, except while dreaming, is an offense entailing suspension.’”
----
----
....
Definitions
Sañcetanikāti
Intentional:
jānanto sañjānanto cecca abhivitaritvā vītikkamo.
knowing, perceiving, having intended, having decided, he transgresses.
Sukkanti
Semen:
dasa sukkāni—
there are ten kinds of semen:
nīlaṁ pītakaṁ lohitakaṁ odātaṁ takkavaṇṇaṁ dakavaṇṇaṁ telavaṇṇaṁ khīravaṇṇaṁ dadhivaṇṇaṁ sappivaṇṇaṁ.
blue, yellow, red, white, the color of buttermilk, the color of water, the color of oil, the color of milk, the color of curd, the color of ghee.
Vissaṭṭhīti
Emission:
ṭhānato cāvanā vuccati vissaṭṭhīti.
making it move from its base—this is what is meant by “emission”.
Aññatra supinantāti
Except while dreaming:
ṭhapetvā supinantaṁ.
apart from that which occurs while dreaming.
Saṅghādisesoti
An offense entailing suspension:
saṅghova tassā āpattiyā parivāsaṁ deti, mūlāya paṭikassati, mānattaṁ deti, abbheti; na sambahulā, na ekapuggalo. Tena vuccati—“saṅghādiseso”ti.
only the Sangha gives probation for that offense, sends back to the beginning, gives the trial period, and rehabilitates—not several monks, not an individual. Therefore it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.
Tasseva āpattinikāyassa nāmakammaṁ adhivacanaṁ. Tenapi vuccati—“saṅghādiseso”ti.
This is the name and designation of this class of offense. Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

Tassāyasmato vihāro abhirūpo hoti dassanīyo pāsādiko, majjhegabbho, samantāpariyāgāro,
He had a beautiful dwelling with a room in the middle and corridors on all sides.
supaññattaṁ mañcapīṭhaṁ bhisibibbohanaṁ,
The bed and bench were nicely made up,
pānīyaṁ paribhojanīyaṁ sūpaṭṭhitaṁ,
and the water for drinking and the water for washing were ready for use.
pariveṇaṁ susammaṭṭhaṁ.
The yards were well swept.
Bahū manussā āyasmato udāyissa vihārapekkhakā āgacchanti.
Many people came to see Udāyī’s dwelling,

Aññataropi brāhmaṇo sapajāpatiko yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
among them a certain brahmin and his wife. They approached Udāyī and said,
“icchāma mayaṁ bhoto udāyissa vihāraṁ pekkhitun”ti.
“Venerable, we would like to see your dwelling.”
----

“Tena hi, brāhmaṇa, pekkhassū”ti,
“Well then, brahmin, please do.”
----

avāpuraṇaṁ ādāya ghaṭikaṁ ugghāṭetvā kavāṭaṁ paṇāmetvā vihāraṁ pāvisi.
Udāyī took the key, lifted the latch, opened the door, and entered the dwelling.
Sopi kho brāhmaṇo āyasmato udāyissa piṭṭhito pāvisi.
The brahmin entered after him
Sāpi kho brāhmaṇī tassa brāhmaṇassa piṭṭhito pāvisi.
and then the brahmin lady.
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī ekacce vātapāne vivaranto ekacce vātapāne thakento gabbhaṁ anuparigantvā piṭṭhito āgantvā tassā brāhmaṇiyā aṅgamaṅgāni parāmasi.
Opening some windows and closing others, Udāyī walked around the inner room and came up behind the brahmin lady, touching her all over.
Atha kho so brāhmaṇo āyasmatā udāyinā saddhiṁ paṭisammoditvā agamāsi.
Then the brahmin thanked Udāyī and left.
----
----
Atha kho so brāhmaṇo attamano attamanavācaṁ nicchāresi—
And he expressed his delight,
“uḷārā ime samaṇā sakyaputtiyā ye ime evarūpe araññe viharanti.
“These Sakyan monastics who live in the wilderness are superb.
Bhavampi udāyī uḷāro yo evarūpe araññe viharatī”ti.
Venerable Udāyī is superb!”
----
----
Evaṁ vutte, sā brāhmaṇī taṁ brāhmaṇaṁ etadavoca—
But the brahmin lady said,
“kuto tassa uḷārattatā.
“What’s superb about him?
Yatheva me tvaṁ aṅgamaṅgāni parāmasi evameva me samaṇo udāyī aṅgamaṅgāni parāmasī”ti.
He touched me all over just like you do.”
----
----
Atha kho so brāhmaṇo ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
The brahmin then complained and criticized him,
“alajjino ime samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dussīlā musāvādino.
“These Sakyan monastics are shameless and immoral liars.
Ime hi nāma dhammacārino samacārino brahmacārino saccavādino sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā paṭijānissanti.
They claim to have integrity, to be celibate and of good conduct, to be truthful, moral, and good.
Natthi imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ natthi imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ, naṭṭhaṁ imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ naṭṭhaṁ imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ,
But they don’t have the good character of a monastic or a brahmin.
kuto imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ kuto imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ, apagatā ime sāmaññā apagatā ime brahmaññā.
They’ve lost the plot!
Kathañhi nāma samaṇo udāyī mama bhariyāya aṅgamaṅgāni parāmasissati.
How could the ascetic Udāyī touch my wife all over?
Na hi sakkā kulitthīhi kuladhītāhi kulakumārīhi kulasuṇhāhi kuladāsīhi ārāmaṁ vā vihāraṁ vā gantuṁ.
It’s not possible to go to a monastery or a monk’s dwelling with a wife from a respectable family, or with a daughter, a girl, a daughter-in-law, or a female slave from a respectable family.
Sace kulitthiyo kuladhītaro kulakumāriyo kulasuṇhāyo kuladāsiyo ārāmaṁ vā vihāraṁ vā gaccheyyuṁ, tāpi samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dūseyyun”ti.
If you do, the Sakyan monastics might molest them.”

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhu tassa brāhmaṇassa ujjhāyantassa khiyyantassa vipācentassa.
The monks heard the criticism of that brahmin.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized Udāyī,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī mātugāmena saddhiṁ kāyasaṁsaggaṁ samāpajjissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī make physical contact with a woman?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
He then had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:
----
----
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, mātugāmena saddhiṁ kāyasaṁsaggaṁ samāpajjasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you did this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“Foolish man, it’s not suitable, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, mātugāmena saddhiṁ kāyasaṁsaggaṁ samāpajjissasi.
How could you do this?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito no sarāgāya …pe…
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of passion …
kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto.
the stilling of the fevers of sensual pleasure?
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udāyī araññe viharati.
At that time Venerable Udāyī was staying in a beautiful dwelling in the wilderness.
Tassāyasmato vihāro abhirūpo hoti dassanīyo pāsādiko.
....
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā itthiyo ārāmaṁ āgamaṁsu vihārapekkhikāyo.
On one occasion a number of women came to the monastery to see the dwellings.
Atha kho tā itthiyo yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu;
They approached Udāyī
upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
and said,
“icchāma mayaṁ, bhante, ayyassa vihāraṁ pekkhitun”ti.
“Venerable, we would like to see your dwelling.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī tā itthiyo vihāraṁ pekkhāpetvā tāsaṁ itthīnaṁ vaccamaggaṁ passāvamaggaṁ ādissa vaṇṇampi bhaṇati avaṇṇampi bhaṇati yācatipi āyācatipi pucchatipi paṭipucchatipi ācikkhatipi anusāsatipi akkosatipi.
Then, after showing them his dwelling, he praised and disparaged their private parts; he requested and implored, asked and enquired, described, instructed, and abused their private parts.
Yā tā itthiyo chinnikā dhuttikā ahirikāyo tā āyasmatā udāyinā saddhiṁ uhasantipi ullapantipi ujjagghantipi uppaṇḍentipi.
The shameless and indecent women flirted with Udāyī; they called out to him, laughed with him, and teased him.
Yā pana tā itthiyo hirimanā tā nikkhamitvā bhikkhū ujjhāpenti—
But after leaving, those of them who had a sense of shame complained to the monks,
“idaṁ, bhante, nacchannaṁ nappatirūpaṁ.
“Venerables, this isn’t suitable or appropriate.
Sāmikenapi mayaṁ evaṁ vuttā na iccheyyāma, kiṁ panāyyena udāyinā”ti.
We wouldn’t want to hear such speech from our own husbands, let alone from Venerable Udāyī.”
----
----
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī speak indecently to women?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They rebuked Udāyī in many ways and told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you spoke like this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“It’s not suitable, foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it should not be done.
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāsissasi.
How could you speak like this?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito no sarāgāya …pe…
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of passion …
kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto.
the stilling of the fevers of sensual pleasure?
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Final ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu otiṇṇo vipariṇatena cittena mātugāmaṁ duṭṭhullāhi vācāhi obhāseyya yathā taṁ yuvā yuvatiṁ methunupasaṁhitāhi, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk, overcome by lust and with a distorted mind, speaks indecent words to a woman, as a young man might to a young woman and referring to sexual intercourse, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Yo panāti
A:

whoever …
bhikkhūti
Monk:
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.
Otiṇṇo nāma
Overcome by lust:
sāratto apekkhavā paṭibaddhacitto.
having lust, longing for, in love with.
Vipariṇatanti
Distorted:
rattampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ, duṭṭhampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ mūḷhampi cittaṁ vipariṇataṁ.
A lustful mind is distorted; an angry mind is distorted; a confused mind is distorted.
Api ca rattaṁ cittaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippetaṁ vipariṇatanti.
But in this case “distorted” refers to the lustful mind.
Mātugāmo nāma
A woman:
manussitthī, na yakkhī, na petī, na tiracchānagatā. Viññū paṭibalā subhāsitadubbhāsitaṁ duṭṭhullāduṭṭhullaṁ ājānituṁ.
a human female, not a female spirit, not a female ghost, not a female animal. She understands and is capable of discerning bad speech and good speech, what is decent and what is indecent.
Duṭṭhullā nāma
Indecent words:
vācā vaccamaggapassāvamaggamethunadhammappaṭisaṁyuttā vācā.
speech connected with the anus, the vagina, or sexual intercourse.
Obhāseyyāti
Speaks:
ajjhācāro vuccati.
misconduct is what is meant.
Yathā taṁ yuvā yuvatinti
As a young man might to a young woman:
daharo dahariṁ, taruṇo taruṇiṁ, kāmabhogī kāmabhoginiṁ.
a male youth to a female youth, a boy to a girl, a male who indulges in worldly pleasures to a female who indulges in worldly pleasures.
Methunupasaṁhitāhīti
Referring to sexual intercourse:
methunadhammappaṭisaṁyuttāhi.
connected with the sexual act.
Saṅghādisesoti
He commits an offense entailing suspension:
…pe… tenapi vuccati saṅghādisesoti.
… Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udāyī sāvatthiyaṁ kulūpako hoti, bahukāni kulāni upasaṅkamati.
At that time Venerable Udāyī was associating with and visiting a number of families in Sāvatthī.
Tena kho pana samayena aññatarā itthī matapatikā abhirūpā hoti dassanīyā pāsādikā.
....
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya yena tassā itthiyā nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.
One morning Udāyī robed up, took his bowl and robe, and went to the house of a beautiful widow where he sat down on the prepared seat.
Atha kho sā itthī yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
She then approached Udāyī, bowed, and sat down.
Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho taṁ itthiṁ āyasmā udāyī dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṁsesi.
And Udāyī instructed, inspired, and gladdened her with a teaching.
Atha kho sā itthī āyasmatā udāyinā dhammiyā kathāya sandassitā samādapitā samuttejitā sampahaṁsitā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
She then said,
“vadeyyātha, bhante, yena attho.
“Venerable, please tell me what you need.
Paṭibalā mayaṁ ayyassa dātuṁ yadidaṁ cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhāran”ti.
I can give robe-cloth, almsfood, a dwelling, and medicinal supplies.”
----
----
“Na kho te, bhagini, amhākaṁ dullabhā yadidaṁ cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārā.
“It’s not hard for us to get those requisites.
Api ca yo amhākaṁ dullabho taṁ dehī”ti.
Give instead what’s hard for us to get.”
----
----
“Kiṁ, bhante”ti?
“What’s that, Venerable?”
----
----
“Methunadhamman”ti.
“Sexual intercourse.”
----
----
“Attho, bhante”ti?
“Is it wanted now?”
----
----
“Attho, bhaginī”ti.
“Yes.”
----
----
“Ehi, bhante”ti,
Saying, “Come,”
ovarakaṁ pavisitvā sāṭakaṁ nikkhipitvā mañcake uttānā nipajji.
she entered her bedroom, took off her wrap, and lay back on the bed.
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena sā itthī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā—
Udāyī went up to her and spat out,
“ko imaṁ vasalaṁ duggandhaṁ āmasissatī”ti,
“Who would touch this stinking wretch!”
niṭṭhubhitvā pakkāmi.
and he left.
----
----
Atha kho sā itthī ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
That woman then complained and criticized him,
“alajjino ime samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dussīlā musāvādino.
“These Sakyan monastics are shameless and immoral liars.
Ime hi nāma dhammacārino samacārino brahmacārino saccavādino sīlavanto kalyāṇadhammā paṭijānissanti.
They claim to have integrity, to be celibate and of good conduct, to be truthful, moral, and good.
Natthi imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ natthi imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ, naṭṭhaṁ imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ naṭṭhaṁ imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ, kuto imesaṁ sāmaññaṁ kuto imesaṁ brahmaññaṁ,
But they don’t have the good character of a monastic or brahmin.
apagatā ime sāmaññā apagatā ime brahmaññā.
They’ve lost the plot!
Kathañhi nāma samaṇo udāyī maṁ sāmaṁ methunadhammaṁ yācitvā, ‘ko imaṁ vasalaṁ duggandhaṁ āmasissatī’ti niṭṭhubhitvā pakkamissati.
How could the ascetic Udāyī ask for sexual intercourse from me, but then spit out, ‘Who would touch this stinking wretch!’ and leave?
Kiṁ me pāpakaṁ kiṁ me duggandhaṁ,
What’s bad about me? How am I stinking?
kassāhaṁ kena hāyāmī”ti?
How am I inferior to anyone?”
----
----
Aññāpi itthiyo ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
Other women, too, criticized him
“alajjino ime samaṇā sakyaputtiyā dussīlā musāvādino …pe…
in the same way,
kathañhi nāma samaṇo udāyī imissā sāmaṁ methunadhammaṁ yācitvā, ‘ko imaṁ vasalaṁ duggandhaṁ āmasissatī’ti niṭṭhubhitvā pakkamissati.
....
Kiṁ imissā pāpakaṁ kiṁ imissā duggandhaṁ, kassāyaṁ kena hāyatī”ti?
....
----
----
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tāsaṁ itthīnaṁ ujjhāyantīnaṁ khiyyantīnaṁ vipācentīnaṁ.
The monks heard the criticism of those women,
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
and the monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī mātugāmassa santike attakāmapāricariyāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī encourage a woman to satisfy his own desires?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
Those monks rebuked Udāyī in many ways and then told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, mātugāmassa santike attakāmapāricariyāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you did this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—
The Buddha rebuked him,
“ananucchavikaṁ, moghapurisa, ananulomikaṁ appatirūpaṁ assāmaṇakaṁ akappiyaṁ akaraṇīyaṁ.
“It’s not suitable, foolish man, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done.
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, mātugāmassa santike attakāmapāricariyāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāsissasi.
How could you do such a thing?
Nanu mayā, moghapurisa, anekapariyāyena virāgāya dhammo desito no sarāgāya …pe…
Haven’t I given many teachings for the sake of dispassion, not for the sake of passion …
kāmapariḷāhānaṁ vūpasamo akkhāto?
the stilling of the fevers of sensual pleasure?
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Final ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu otiṇṇo vipariṇatena cittena mātugāmassa santike attakāmapāricariyāya vaṇṇaṁ bhāseyya— ‘etadaggaṁ, bhagini, pāricariyānaṁ yā mādisaṁ sīlavantaṁ kalyāṇadhammaṁ brahmacāriṁ etena dhammena paricareyyāti methunupasaṁhitena’, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk, overcome by lust and with a distorted mind, encourages a woman to satisfy his own desires, saying, “Sister, she provides the highest service who in this way satisfies one like me, who is virtuous, celibate, and of good character,” and if it is a reference to sexual intercourse, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Origin story

First sub-story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udāyī sāvatthiyaṁ kulūpako hoti. Bahukāni kulāni upasaṅkamati.
Venerable Udāyī was associating with and visiting a number of families in Sāvatthī.
----
----
Yattha passati kumārakaṁ vā apajāpatikaṁ, kumārikaṁ vā apatikaṁ, kumārakassa mātāpitūnaṁ santike kumārikāya vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati—
When Udāyī saw a young man without a wife or a young woman without a husband, he would praise the young woman to the parents of a young man,
“amukassa kulassa kumārikā abhirūpā dassanīyā pāsādikā paṇḍitā byattā medhāvinī dakkhā analasā.
“The young woman of such-and such a family is beautiful, intelligent, skilled, and diligent.
Channā sā kumārikā imassa kumārakassā”ti.
She’s suitable for your son.”
Te evaṁ vadanti—
They would reply,
“ete kho, bhante, amhe na jānanti—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“They don’t know who we are, Venerable.
Sace, bhante, ayyo dāpeyya āneyyāma mayaṁ taṁ kumārikaṁ imassa kumārakassā”ti.
If you could persuade them to give the girl, we would take her for our son.”
----
----
Kumārikāya mātāpitūnaṁ santike kumārakassa vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati—
And he praised the young man to the parents of a young woman,
“amukassa kulassa kumārako abhirūpo dassanīyo pāsādiko paṇḍito byatto medhāvī dakkho analaso.
“The young man of such-and-such a family is handsome, intelligent, skilled, and diligent.
Channāyaṁ kumārikā tassa kumārakassā”ti.
He’s suitable for your daughter.”
Te evaṁ vadanti—
They would reply,
“ete kho, bhante, amhe na jānanti—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti,
“They don’t know who we are, Venerable,
kismiṁ viya kumārikāya vattuṁ.
and we would be ashamed to speak to them for the sake of the girl.
Sace, bhante, ayyo yācāpeyya dajjeyyāma mayaṁ imaṁ kumārikaṁ tassa kumārakassā”ti.
But if you could persuade them to ask us, we would give our girl to the young man.”
Eteneva upāyena āvāhānipi kārāpeti, vivāhānipi kārāpeti, vāreyyānipi kārāpeti.
In this way he arranged for the taking of a bride, for the giving of a bride, and for marriage.
----
----
Tena kho pana samayena aññatarissā purāṇagaṇakiyā dhītā abhirūpā hoti dassanīyā pāsādikā.
At that time there was a former courtesan who had a beautiful daughter.
Tirogāmakā ājīvakasāvakā āgantvā taṁ gaṇakiṁ etadavocuṁ—
On one occasion some lay followers of the Ājīvaka religion came from another village and said to that courtesan,
“dehāyye, imaṁ kumārikaṁ amhākaṁ kumārakassā”ti.
“Madam, please give your girl to our boy.”
----
----
Sā evamāha—“ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“I don’t know who you are, Sirs,
Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.
and I won’t give my only daughter to be taken to another village.”
----
----
Manussā te ājīvakasāvake etadavocuṁ—
People asked those Ājīvaka lay followers
“kissa tumhe, ayyo, āgatatthā”ti?
why they had come.
“Idha mayaṁ, ayyo, amukaṁ nāma gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācimhā amhākaṁ kumārakassa.
They replied, “We came to ask that courtesan to give her daughter to our son,
Sā evamāha—‘ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
but she refused.”
Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.
....
----
----
“Kissa tumhe, ayyo, taṁ gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācittha?
“But why did you ask the courtesan?
Nanu ayyo udāyī vattabbo.
You should speak to Venerable Udāyī.
Ayyo udāyī dāpessatī”ti.
He’ll persuade her.”
----
----
Atha kho te ājīvakasāvakā yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
They then went to Udāyī and said,
“idha mayaṁ, bhante, amukaṁ nāma gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācimhā amhākaṁ kumārakassa.
“Venerable, we’ve asked that courtesan here to give her daughter to our son,
Sā evamāha—‘ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—ke vā ime kassa vāti.
but she refused.
Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī’ti.
....
Sādhu, bhante, ayyo taṁ gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ dāpetu amhākaṁ kumārakassā”ti.
Would you please persuade her to give her daughter?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena sā gaṇakī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ gaṇakiṁ etadavoca—
Udāyī agreed. Soon afterwards he went to that courtesan and said,
“kissimesaṁ dhītaraṁ na desī”ti?
“Why didn’t you give them your daughter?”
----
----
“Ahaṁ khvayya, ime na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“I don’t know who they are, Sir,
Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.
and I won’t give my only daughter to be taken to another village.”
----
----
“Dehimesaṁ.
“Please give her to them.
Ahaṁ ime jānāmī”ti.
I know them.”
----
----
“Sace, bhante, ayyo jānāti, dassāmī”ti.
“If you know them, I’ll give her away.”
----
----
Atha kho sā gaṇakī tesaṁ ājīvakasāvakānaṁ dhītaraṁ adāsi.
She then gave her daughter to those Ājīvaka followers,
Atha kho te ājīvakasāvakā taṁ kumārikaṁ netvā māsaṁyeva suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
and they took her away. For a month they treated her like a daughter-in-law,
Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.
----
----
Atha kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
The girl sent a message to her mother, saying,
“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.
“Mom, I’m unhappy and miserable.
Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
For a month they treated me like a daughter-in-law,
Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.
Āgacchatu me, mātā, maṁ nessatū”ti.
Come, mom, and take me home.”
----
----
Atha kho sā gaṇakī yena te ājīvakasāvakā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te ājīvakasāvake etadavoca—
Soon afterwards the courtesan went to those Ājīvakas and said,
“māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhuñjittha.
“Please don’t treat my girl like a slave;
Suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā”ti.
treat her properly!”
----
----
Te evamāhaṁsu—
They replied,
“natthamhākaṁ tayā saddhiṁ āhārūpahāro, samaṇena saddhiṁ amhākaṁ āhārūpahāro,
“We deal with the monastic, not with you.
gaccha tvaṁ,

We don’t want anything to do with you.”
Atha kho sā gaṇakī tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasāditā punadeva sāvatthiṁ paccāgañchi.
Being dismissed, she returned to Sāvatthī.
----
----
Dutiyampi kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
A second time the girl sent the same message to her mother.
“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.

Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
....

....
Atha kho sā gaṇakī yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
That courtesan then went to Udāyī and said,
“sā kira, bhante, kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhati.
“Venerable, my girl is unhappy and miserable.
Māsaṁyeva naṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
They treated her like a daughter-in-law for a month,
Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.
Vadeyyātha, bhante—
Please tell them
‘māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhuñjittha.

----
----
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena te ājīvakasāvakā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te ājīvakasāvake etadavoca—
Udāyī went to the Ājīvakas and said,
“māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhujjittha.
“Please don’t treat this girl like a slave;
Suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā”ti.

----
----
Te evamāhaṁsu—
They replied,
“natthamhākaṁ tayā saddhiṁ āhārūpahāro, gaṇakiyā saddhiṁ amhākaṁ āhārūpahāro.
“We deal with the courtesan, not with you.
Samaṇena bhavitabbaṁ abyāvaṭena.
A monastic shouldn’t get involved.

You should behave like a proper monastic.

So go away!

We don’t want anything to do with you.”
Atha kho āyasmā udāyī tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasādito punadeva sāvatthiṁ paccāgañchi.
Being dismissed, he returned to Sāvatthī.
----
----
Tatiyampi kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
A third time that girl sent the same message to her mother,
“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.
....
Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
....
Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.

Dutiyampi kho sā gaṇakī yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
and a second time the courtesan went to Udāyī and told him the same thing.
“sā kira, bhante, kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhati.

“Paṭhamampāhaṁ tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasādito,
He replied, “When I first went, they just dismissed me.
gaccha tvaṁ,
Go yourself;

I’m not going.”
----
----
Atha kho sā gaṇakī ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
Then that courtesan complained and criticized him,
“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathā me kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhati pāpikāya sassuyā pāpakena sasurena pāpakena sāmikenā”ti.
“May Venerable Udāyī be miserable and unhappy, just as my girl is miserable and unhappy because of her nasty mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband.”
----
----
Sāpi kho kumārikā ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
The girl, too, complained and criticized him in the same way,
“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathāhaṁ duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhāmi pāpikāya sassuyā pāpakena sasurena pāpakena sāmikenā”ti.

Aññāpi itthiyo asantuṭṭhā sassūhi vā sasurehi vā sāmikehi vā, tā evaṁ oyācanti—
as did other women who were unhappy with their mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands.
“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathā mayaṁ duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhāma pāpikāhi sassūhi pāpakehi sasurehi pāpakehi sāmikehī”ti.
....
----
----
Yā pana tā itthiyo santuṭṭhā sassūhi vā sasurehi vā sāmikehi vā tā evaṁ āyācanti—
But those women who were happy with their in-laws wished him well, saying,
“evaṁ sukhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ sajjito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ sukhamedho hotu ayyo udāyī, yathā mayaṁ sukhitā sajjitā sukhamedhā bhaddikāhi sassūhi bhaddakehi sasurehi bhaddakehi sāmikehī”ti.
“May Venerable Udāyī be happy and well, just as we are happy and well because of our good mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands.”
----
----
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū ekaccānaṁ itthīnaṁ oyācantīnaṁ ekaccānaṁ itthīnaṁ āyācantīnaṁ.
The monks heard that some women were criticizing him whereas others were wishing him well.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
And the monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī act as a matchmaker?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, sañcarittaṁ samāpajjasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you do this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked him …

“Foolish man, how could you do this?

Preliminary ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu sañcarittaṁ samāpajjeyya, itthiyā vā purisamatiṁ purisassa vā itthimatiṁ, jāyattane vā jārattane vā, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk acts as a matchmaker, conveying a man’s intention to a woman or a woman’s intention to a man, for marriage or for an affair, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

----
Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.

Second sub-story
Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā dhuttā uyyāne paricārentā aññatarissā vesiyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesuṁ—
Soon afterwards a number of scoundrels who were enjoying themselves in a park sent a messenger to a sex worker, saying,
“āgacchatu uyyāne paricāressāmā”ti.
“Please come, let’s enjoy ourselves in the park.”
----

Sā evamāha—
She replied,
“ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“Sirs, I don’t know who you are.

I’m wealthy. I don’t want to go outside the city.”

----
Atha kho so dūto tesaṁ dhuttānaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
The messenger returned the message.
Evaṁ vutte, aññataro puriso te dhutte etadavoca—
A certain man then said to those men,
“kissa tumhe, ayyo, etaṁ vesiṁ yācittha?
“Why did you ask the sex worker?
Nanu ayyo udāyī vattabbo.
You should speak to Venerable Udāyī.
Ayyo udāyī uyyojessatī”ti.
He’ll persuade her.”
----
----
Evaṁ vutte, aññataro upāsako taṁ purisaṁ etadavoca—
But a certain Buddhist lay follower said,
“māyyo, evaṁ avaca.
“No way.
Na kappati samaṇānaṁ sakyaputtiyānaṁ evarūpaṁ kātuṁ.
That’s not allowable for the Sakyan monastics.
Nāyyo udāyī evaṁ karissatī”ti.
He won’t do it.”
Evaṁ vutte, “karissati na karissatī”ti abbhutamakaṁsu.
And they made a bet on whether he would.
----
----
Atha kho te dhuttā yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
Those scoundrels then went to Udāyī and said,
“idha mayaṁ, bhante, uyyāne paricārentā asukāya nāma vesiyā santike dūtaṁ pahiṇimhā—
“Venerable, while we were enjoying ourselves in the park, we sent a message to such-and-such a sex worker,

“Why don’t you go to those men?”
----

“Ahaṁ khvayya, ime na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.

And those men took her to the park.

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrel sanctuary.
Tena kho pana samayena āḷavakā bhikkhū saññācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpenti assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.
At that time the monks of Āḷavī were building huts by means of begging. The huts were intended for themselves, did not have a sponsoring owner, and were inappropriately large.
Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.
And since they were never finished,
Te yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharanti—
the monks kept on begging and asking,
“purisaṁ detha, purisatthakaraṁ detha, goṇaṁ detha, sakaṭaṁ detha, vāsiṁ detha, parasuṁ detha, kuṭhāriṁ detha, kudālaṁ detha, nikhādanaṁ detha, valliṁ detha, veḷuṁ detha, muñjaṁ detha, pabbajaṁ detha, tiṇaṁ detha, mattikaṁ dethā”ti.
“Please give a man, a servant, an ox, a cart, a machete, a hatchet, an ax, a spade, a chisel; give creepers, bamboo, reeds, grass, clay.”
Manussā upaddutā yācanāya upaddutā viññattiyā bhikkhū disvā ubbijjantipi uttasantipi palāyantipi aññenapi gacchanti aññenapi mukhaṁ karonti dvārampi thakenti,
People felt oppressed by all the begging and asking, so much so that when they saw a monk they became alarmed and fearful. They turned away, took a different path, ran off, and closed their doors.
gāvimpi disvā palāyanti bhikkhūti maññamānā.
They even ran away when they saw cows, thinking they were monks.

Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo rājagahe vassaṁvuṭṭho yena āḷavī tena pakkāmi.
Just then Venerable Mahākassapa, after completing the rainy-season residence at Rājagaha, set out for Āḷavī.
Anupubbena yena āḷavī tadavasari.
When he eventually arrived,
Tatra sudaṁ āyasmā mahākassapo āḷaviyaṁ viharati aggāḷave cetiye.
he stayed at the Aggāḷava Shrine.
Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya āḷaviṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.
One morning Venerable Mahākassapa robed up, took his bowl and robe, and entered Āḷavī for alms.
Manussā āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ passitvā ubbijjantipi uttasantipi palāyantipi aññenapi gacchanti aññenapi mukhaṁ karonti dvārampi thakenti.
When people saw him, they became alarmed and fearful. They turned away, took a different path, ran off, and closed their doors.
Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo āḷaviyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto bhikkhū āmantesi—
When he had eaten his meal and returned from alms round, Venerable Mahākassapa returned and said to the monks:
----
----
“pubbāyaṁ, āvuso, āḷavī subhikkhā ahosi sulabhapiṇḍā sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ;
“There used to be plenty of almsfood in Āḷavī, and it was easy to get by on alms.
etarahi panāyaṁ āḷavī dubbhikkhā dullabhapiṇḍā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.
But now there’s a shortage, and it’s hard to get by.
Ko nu kho, āvuso, hetu ko paccayo, yenāyaṁ āḷavī dubbhikkhā dullabhapiṇḍā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetun”ti?
Why is that?”
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmato mahākassapassa etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
The monks told Venerable Mahākassapa what had happened.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā rājagahe yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā yena āḷavī tena cārikaṁ pakkāmi.
Soon afterwards the Buddha too set out wandering toward Āḷavī after staying at Rājagaha for as long as he liked.
Anupubbena cārikaṁ caramāno yena āḷavī tadavasari.
When he eventually arrived,
Tatra sudaṁ bhagavā āḷaviyaṁ viharati aggāḷave cetiye.
he too stayed at the Aggāḷava Shrine.
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
Venerable Mahākassapa then went to see the Buddha, bowed, sat down,
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā mahākassapo bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
and told him what had happened.
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āḷavake bhikkhū paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks of Āḷavī:
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, saññācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpetha assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.
“Is it true, monks, that this is happening?”
Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.

Te tumhe yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharatha—
....
‘purisaṁ detha purisatthakaraṁ detha …pe… tiṇaṁ detha mattikaṁ dethā’ti.

....
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, saṁyācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpessatha assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.
“Foolish men, how can you act like this?
Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.

Te tumhe yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharissatha—

“purisaṁ detha purisatthakaraṁ detha …pe… tiṇaṁ detha mattikaṁ dethā”ti.

After rebuking them, he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

Jātaka
“Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, dve bhātaro isayo gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ upanissāya vihariṁsu.
“Once upon a time, monks, two sages who were brothers lived near the river Ganges.
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ sattakkhattuṁ bhogehi parikkhipitvā uparimuddhani mahantaṁ phaṇaṁ karitvā aṭṭhāsi.
On one occasion the dragon king Maṇikaṇṭha emerged from the Ganges and went up to the younger sage. He encircled him with seven coils and spread his large hood over his head.
Atha kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi tassa nāgassa bhayā kiso ahosi lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.
Then, because of his fear of that dragon, the younger sage became thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over his body.
Addasa kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ kisaṁ lūkhaṁ dubbaṇṇaṁ uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātaṁ dhamanisanthatagattaṁ.
The older sage saw him like this
Disvāna kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ etadavoca—
and asked him what was the matter.
‘kissa tvaṁ, bho, kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti?
....
‘Idha, bho, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ sattakkhattuṁ bhogehi parikkhipitvā uparimuddhani mahantaṁ phaṇaṁ karitvā aṭṭhāsi.
The younger sage told him.
Tassāhaṁ, bho, nāgassa bhayā kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti.
....
‘Icchasi pana tvaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa anāgamanan’ti?
The elder sage said, ‘So, do you want that dragon to stay away?’
----
----
‘Icchāmahaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa anāgamanan’ti.
‘Yes.’
----
----
‘Api pana tvaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa kiñci passasī’ti?
‘Well then, did you see anything belonging to that dragon?’
----
----
‘Passāmahaṁ, bho, maṇimassa kaṇṭhe pilandhanan’ti.
‘I saw an ornamental gem on his neck.’
----
----
‘Tena hi tvaṁ, bho, taṁ nāgaṁ maṇiṁ yāca—
‘In that case, ask the dragon for that gem.’
“maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;
....
maṇinā me attho”’ti.
....
----
----
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.
Soon the dragon king again emerged from the Ganges and went up to the younger sage.
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitaṁ kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ kaniṭṭho isi etadavoca—
And the sage said to him,
‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;
‘Sir, give me the gem.
maṇinā me attho’ti.
I want the gem.’
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—
The dragon thought,
‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti khippaññeva agamāsi.
‘The monk is asking for the gem; he wants the gem,’ and he left in a hurry.
----
----
Dutiyampi kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami.
Once more the dragon king emerged from the Ganges and approached the younger sage.
Addasa kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.
The sage saw him coming
Disvāna maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ etadavoca—
and said to him,
‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;
‘Sir, give me the gem.
maṇinā me attho’ti.
I want the gem.’
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—
When the dragon heard him,
‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti tatova paṭinivatti.
he turned around right there.
----
----
Tatiyampi kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttarati.
Yet again the dragon king emerged from the Ganges.
Addasa kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttarantaṁ.
The younger sage saw him emerging
Disvāna maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ etadavoca—
and said to him,
‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;
‘Sir, give me the gem.
maṇinā me attho’ti.
I want the gem.’
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi—
The dragon king then spoke these verses to the sage:
----
----
‘Mamannapānaṁ vipulaṁ uḷāraṁ,
‘My food and drink are abundant and sublime,
Uppajjatīmassa maṇissa hetu;
And they appear because of this gem.
Taṁ te na dassaṁ atiyācakosi,
I won’t give it to you—you ask too much—
Na cāpi te assamamāgamissaṁ.
Nor will I return to your hermitage.
----
----
Susū yathā sakkharadhotapāṇī,
Like a youth holding a sword polished on a rock,
Tāsesi maṁ selamāyācamāno;
You frighten me, asking for this gem.
Taṁ te na dassaṁ atiyācakosi,
I won’t give it to you—you ask too much—
Na cāpi te assamamāgamissan’ti.
Nor will I return to your hermitage.’
----
----
Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—
And the dragon king Maṇikaṇṭha thought,
‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti pakkāmi.
‘The monk is asking for the gem; he wants the gem,’
Tathā pakkantova ahosi, na puna paccāgañchi.
and he left and never returned.
----
----
Atha kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi tassa nāgassa dassanīyassa adassanena bhiyyoso mattāya kiso ahosi lūkho dubbaṇṇo, uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.
Because he did not get to see that beautiful dragon, the young sage became even thinner, more haggard and pale, his veins protruding even more.
Addasa kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ bhiyyoso mattāya kisaṁ lūkhaṁ dubbaṇṇaṁ uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātaṁ dhamanisanthatagattaṁ.
The older sage saw him like this
Disvāna kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ etadavoca—
and asked what was the matter.
‘kissa tvaṁ, bho, bhiyyoso mattāya kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti?
....
‘Tassāhaṁ, bho, nāgassa dassanīyassa adassanena bhiyyoso mattāya kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti.
He replied, ‘It’s because I no longer get to see that beautiful dragon.’
Atha kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi—
The older sage then spoke to him in verse:
----
----
‘Na taṁ yāce yassapiyaṁ jigīse,
‘One shouldn’t beg from those one wishes to be dear to;
Videsso hoti atiyācanāya;
One is detested for asking for too much.
Nāgo maṇiṁ yācito brāhmaṇena,
When the brahmin asked the dragon for his gem,
Adassanaññeva tadajjhagamā’ti.
It left and was never to be seen again.’
----
----
Tesañhi nāma, bhikkhave, tiracchānagatānaṁ pāṇānaṁ amanāpā bhavissati yācanā amanāpā viññatti.
One will be disliked even by animals, monks, for begging and asking,
Kimaṅgaṁ pana manussabhūtānaṁ.

Story
Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññataro bhikkhu himavantapasse viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe.
“At one time, monks, a certain monk lived in a forest grove on the slopes of the Himalayas.
Tassa kho, bhikkhave, vanasaṇḍassa avidūre mahantaṁ ninnaṁ pallalaṁ.
Not far from that grove was a large, low-lying marsh.
Atha kho, bhikkhave, mahāsakuṇasaṅgho tasmiṁ pallale divasaṁ gocaraṁ caritvā sāyaṁ taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ vāsāya upagacchati.
A great flock of birds fed in the marsh during the day and entered the grove to roost at night.
Atha kho, bhikkhave, so bhikkhu tassa sakuṇasaṅghassa saddena ubbāḷho yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
The monk was disturbed by the noise of the flocking birds, and so he came to see me. He bowed, sat down,
Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho ahaṁ, bhikkhave, taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca—
and I said to him,
‘kacci, bhikkhu, khamanīyaṁ kacci yāpanīyaṁ
‘I hope you’re keeping well, monk, I hope you’re getting by?

Atthi, bhante, himavantapasse mahāvanasaṇḍo.
He then explained where he had come from, adding,
Atha kho, bhante, mahāsakuṇasaṅgho tasmiṁ pallale divasaṁ gocaraṁ caritvā sāyaṁ taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ vāsāya upagacchati.
Tassa kho pana, bhante, vanasaṇḍassa avidūre mahantaṁ ninnaṁ pallalaṁ.

Etaṁ sārambhaṁ nāma.

Kuṭi nāma
A hut:

plastered inside or plastered outside or plastered both inside and outside.
Kāreyyāti
Builds:
karoti vā kārāpeti vā.
building it himself or having it built.
Bhikkhū vā anabhineyya, vatthudesanāya pamāṇaṁ vā atikkāmeyyāti
Or he does not have monks approve the site, or he exceeds the right size:
ñattidutiyena kammena kuṭivatthuṁ na desāpetvā, āyāmato vā vitthārato vā antamaso kesaggamattampi atikkāmetvā karoti vā kārāpeti vā, payoge dukkaṭaṁ.
if the site for the hut has not been approved through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements, or if he builds a hut or has one built that exceeds the allowable length or breadth even by the width of a hair, then for the effort there is an act of wrong conduct.
Ekaṁ piṇḍaṁ anāgate āpatti thullaccayassa.
When one piece is left to complete the hut, he commits a serious offense.
Tasmiṁ piṇḍe āgate āpatti saṅghādisesassa.
When the last piece is finished, he commits an offense entailing suspension.
Saṅghādisesoti
He commits an offense entailing suspension:
…pe… tenapi vuccati “saṅghādiseso”ti.
… Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Kosambī in Ghosita’s Monastery,
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato channassa upaṭṭhāko gahapati āyasmantaṁ channaṁ etadavoca—
a householder who was a supporter of Venerable Channa said to him,
“vihāravatthuṁ, bhante, jānāhi ayyassa vihāraṁ kārāpessāmī”ti.
“I’ll have a dwelling built for you, Venerable, if you would find a site for it.”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā channo vihāravatthuṁ sodhento aññataraṁ cetiyarukkhaṁ chedāpesi gāmapūjitaṁ nigamapūjitaṁ nagarapūjitaṁ janapadapūjitaṁ raṭṭhapūjitaṁ.
While Venerable Channa was clearing a site for that dwelling, he felled a tree that served as a shrine and was revered by village, town, district, and kingdom.
Manussā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
People complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā cetiyarukkhaṁ chedāpessanti gāmapūjitaṁ nigamapūjitaṁ nagarapūjitaṁ janapadapūjitaṁ raṭṭhapūjitaṁ.
“How could the Sakyan monastics fell a tree that serves as a shrine and is revered by village, town, district, and kingdom?
Ekindriyaṁ samaṇā sakyaputtiyā jīvaṁ viheṭhentī”ti.
They are hurting one-sensed life.”
----
----
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.
The monks heard the criticism of those people,
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
and the monks of few desires complained and criticized
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā channo cetiyarukkhaṁ chedāpessati gāmapūjitaṁ …pe… raṭṭhapūjitan”ti.
Venerable Channa in the same way.
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ channaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
After rebuking Venerable Channa in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned Channa:
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, channa, cetiyarukkhaṁ chedāpesi gāmapūjitaṁ …pe… raṭṭhapūjitan”ti?
“Is it true, Channa, that you did this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked him …
kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, cetiyarukkhaṁ chedāpessasi gāmapūjitaṁ nigamapūjitaṁ nagarapūjitaṁ janapadapūjitaṁ raṭṭhapūjitaṁ.
“Foolish man, how could you do this?
Jīvasaññino hi, moghapurisa, manussā rukkhasmiṁ.
People perceive trees as conscious.
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Final ruling
“Mahallakaṁ pana bhikkhunā vihāraṁ kārayamānena sassāmikaṁ attuddesaṁ bhikkhū abhinetabbā vatthudesanāya.
‘When a monk builds a large dwelling with a sponsoring owner and intended for himself,
Tehi bhikkhūhi vatthu desetabbaṁ anārambhaṁ saparikkamanaṁ.
he must have monks approve a site where no harm will be done and which has space on all sides.
Sārambhe ce bhikkhu vatthusmiṁ aparikkamane mahallakaṁ vihāraṁ kāreyya bhikkhū vā anabhineyya vatthudesanāya, saṅghādiseso”ti.
If a monk builds a large dwelling on a site where harm will be done and which lacks space on all sides, or he does not have monks approve the site, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

it is possible to go around it with a yoked cart, or to go all the way around it with a ladder—
Etaṁ saparikkamanaṁ nāma.
this is called “which has space on all sides”.
Mahallako nāma vihāro
A large dwelling:
sassāmiko vuccati.
one with a sponsoring owner is what is meant.
Vihāro nāma
Dwelling:
ullitto vā hoti avalitto vā ullittāvalitto vā.
plastered inside or plastered outside or plastered both inside and outside.
Kāreyyāti
Builds:
karoti vā kārāpeti vā.
building it himself or having it built.
Bhikkhū vā anabhineyya vatthudesanāyāti
Or he does not have monks approve the site:
ñattidutiyena kammena vihāravatthuṁ na desāpetvā karoti vā kārāpeti vā, payoge dukkaṭaṁ.
if the site has not been approved through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements, and he then builds a dwelling or has one built, then for the effort there is an act of wrong conduct.
Ekaṁ piṇḍaṁ anāgate, āpatti thullaccayassa.
When one piece is left to complete the dwelling, he commits a serious offense.
Tasmiṁ piṇḍe āgate, āpatti saṅghādisesassa.
When the last piece is finished, he commits an offense entailing suspension.
Saṅghādisesoti
He commits an offense entailing suspension:
…pe… tenapi vuccati— “saṅghādiseso”ti.
… Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove,
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmatā dabbena mallaputtena jātiyā sattavassena arahattaṁ sacchikataṁ hoti.
Venerable Dabba the Mallian realized perfection at the age of seven.
Yaṁ kiñci sāvakena pattabbaṁ sabbaṁ tena anuppattaṁ hoti.
He had achieved all there is to achieve by a disciple
Natthi cassa kiñci uttari karaṇīyaṁ, katassa vā paticayo.
and had nothing further to do.
Atha kho āyasmato dabbassa mallaputtassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi—
Then, while reflecting in private,
“mayā kho jātiyā sattavassena arahattaṁ sacchikataṁ.
....
Yaṁ kiñci sāvakena pattabbaṁ sabbaṁ mayā anuppattaṁ.
....
Natthi ca me kiñci uttari karaṇīyaṁ, katassa vā paticayo.
....
Kiṁ nu kho ahaṁ saṅghassa veyyāvaccaṁ kareyyan”ti?
he thought, “How can I be of service to the Sangha?
----
----
Atha kho āyasmato dabbassa mallaputtassa etadahosi—
....
“yannūnāhaṁ saṅghassa senāsanañca paññapeyyaṁ bhattāni ca uddiseyyan”ti.
Why don’t I assign the dwellings and designate the meals?”
----
----
Atha kho āyasmā dabbo mallaputto sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
In the evening Dabba came out of seclusion and went to the Buddha. He bowed, sat down,
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā dabbo mallaputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
and said,
“idha mayhaṁ, bhante, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi mayā kho jātiyā sattavassena arahattaṁ sacchikataṁ, yaṁ kiñci sāvakena pattabbaṁ, sabbaṁ mayā anupattaṁ, natthi ca me kiñci uttari karaṇīyaṁ, katassa vā paticayo, kiṁ nu kho ahaṁ saṅghassa veyyāvaccaṁ kareyyanti.
“Venerable Sir, while I was reflecting in private, it occurred to me that I’ve achieved all there is to achieve by a disciple, and I was wondering how I could be of service to the Sangha.
Tassa mayhaṁ, bhante, etadahosi—
I thought,
‘yannūnāhaṁ saṅghassa senāsanañca paññapeyyaṁ bhattāni ca uddiseyyan’ti.
‘Why don’t I assign the dwellings and designate the meals?’”
Icchāmahaṁ, bhante, saṅghassa senāsanañca paññapetuṁ bhattāni ca uddisitun”ti.
....

“Sādhu sādhu, dabba.
“Good, good, Dabba,

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā dabbo mallaputto bhagavato paccassosi.
“Yes.”
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—
Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks:
“tena hi, bhikkhave, saṅgho dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ senāsanapaññāpakañca bhattuddesakañca sammannatu.
“Monks, the Sangha should appoint Dabba the Mallian as the assigner of dwellings and the designator of meals.
Evañca pana, bhikkhave, sammannitabbo.
And he should be appointed like this.
Paṭhamaṁ dabbo mallaputto yācitabbo.
First Dabba should be asked.
Yācitvā byattena bhikkhunā paṭibalena saṅgho ñāpetabbo—
A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha:
----
----
‘Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.
‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.
Yadi saṅghassa pattakallaṁ saṅgho āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ senāsanapaññāpakañca bhattuddesakañca sammanneyya.
If it seems appropriate to the Sangha, it should appoint Venerable Dabba the Mallian as assigner of dwellings and designator of meals.
Esā ñatti.
This is the motion.
----

Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.
Please, Venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.
Saṅgho āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ senāsanapaññāpakañca bhattuddesakañca sammannati.
The Sangha appoints Venerable Dabba the Mallian as assigner of dwellings and designator of meals.
Yassāyasmato khamati āyasmato dabbassa mallaputtassa senāsanapaññāpakassa ca bhattuddesakassa ca sammuti, so tuṇhassa;
Any monk who approves of appointing Venerable Dabba as assigner of dwellings and designator of meals should remain silent.

Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

Dabba assigned dwellings to the monks according to their character.

Ye te bhikkhū suttantikā tesaṁ ekajjhaṁ senāsanaṁ paññapeti—
He assigned dwellings in the same place to those monks who were experts on the discourses, thinking,

“They’ll recite the discourses to one another.”
Ye te bhikkhū vinayadharā tesaṁ ekajjhaṁ senāsanaṁ paññapeti—
And he did likewise for the experts on the Monastic Law, thinking,

“In this way even these venerables will be happy.”
----
----
Yepi te bhikkhū vikāle āgacchanti tesampi tejodhātuṁ samāpajjitvā teneva ālokena senāsanaṁ paññapeti.
When monks arrived at night, he entered the fire element and assigned dwellings with the help of that light.
Apisu bhikkhū sañcicca vikāle āgacchanti—
Monks even arrived late on purpose,
“mayaṁ āyasmato dabbassa mallaputtassa iddhipāṭihāriyaṁ passissāmā”ti.
hoping to see the marvel of Dabba’s supernormal powers.

Tesaṁ āyasmā dabbo mallaputto tejodhātuṁ samāpajjitvā aṅguliyā jalamānāya purato purato gacchati.
Dabba then entered the fire element, and with his finger glowing, he walked in front of those monks.
Tepi teneva ālokena āyasmato dabbassa mallaputtassa piṭṭhito piṭṭhito gacchanti.
They followed behind him with the help of that light.
Tesaṁ āyasmā dabbo mallaputto evaṁ senāsanaṁ paññapeti—
And he would assign them dwellings:
“ayaṁ mañco, idaṁ pīṭhaṁ, ayaṁ bhisi, idaṁ bibbohanaṁ, idaṁ vaccaṭṭhānaṁ, idaṁ passāvaṭṭhānaṁ, idaṁ pānīyaṁ, idaṁ paribhojanīyaṁ, ayaṁ kattaradaṇḍo,
“This is the bed, this the bench, this the mattress, this the pillow, this the place for defecating, this the place for urinating, this the water for drinking, this the water for washing, this the walking stick;
idaṁ saṅghassa katikasaṇṭhānaṁ, imaṁ kālaṁ pavisitabbaṁ, imaṁ kālaṁ nikkhamitabban”ti.
these are the Sangha’s agreements concerning the right time to enter and the right time to leave.”
Dabba then returned to the Bamboo Grove.

Tena kho pana samayena mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū navakā ceva honti appapuññā ca.
At that time the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka were only newly ordained. They had little merit,
Yāni saṅghassa lāmakāni senāsanāni tāni tesaṁ pāpuṇanti lāmakāni ca bhattāni.
getting inferior dwellings and meals.
Tena kho pana samayena rājagahe manussā icchanti therānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhisaṅkhārikaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ dātuṁ sappimpi telampi uttaribhaṅgampi.
The people of Rājagaha were keen to give specially prepared almsfood to the senior monks—ghee, oil, and special curries—
Mettiyabhūmajakānaṁ pana bhikkhūnaṁ pākatikaṁ denti yathārandhaṁ kaṇājakaṁ bilaṅgadutiyaṁ.
but to the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka they gave ordinary food of porridge and broken rice.
----

Te pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantā there bhikkhū pucchanti—
When they had eaten their meal and returned from alms round, they asked the senior monks,
“tumhākaṁ, āvuso, bhattagge kiṁ ahosi? Tumhākaṁ, āvuso, bhattagge kiṁ ahosī”ti?
“What did you get at the dining hall?”
----
----
Ekacce therā evaṁ vadanti—
Some said,
“amhākaṁ, āvuso, sappi ahosi telaṁ ahosi uttaribhaṅgaṁ ahosī”ti.
“We got ghee, oil, and special curries.”
----
----
Mettiyabhūmajakā pana bhikkhū evaṁ vadanti—
But the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka said,
“amhākaṁ, āvuso, na kiñci ahosi, pākatikaṁ yathārandhaṁ kaṇājakaṁ bilaṅgadutiyan”ti.
“We didn’t get anything except ordinary food of porridge and broken rice.”

Tena kho pana samayena kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati saṅghassa catukkabhattaṁ deti niccabhattaṁ.
At that time there was a householder who gave a regular meal of fine food to four monks.
So bhattagge saputtadāro upatiṭṭhitvā parivisati.
He made his offering in the dining hall together with his wives and children.
Aññe odanena pucchanti, aññe sūpena pucchanti, aññe telena pucchanti, aññe uttaribhaṅgena pucchanti.
Some of them offered rice, some bean curry, some oil, and some special curries.

Tena kho pana samayena kalyāṇabhattikassa gahapatino bhattaṁ svātanāya mettiyabhūmajakānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ uddiṭṭhaṁ hoti.
On one occasion the meal to be given by this householder on the following day had been designated to the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka.
Atha kho kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati ārāmaṁ agamāsi kenacideva karaṇīyena.
Just then that householder went to the monastery on some business.
So yenāyasmā dabbo mallaputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
He approached Dabba, bowed, and sat down.
Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho kalyāṇabhattikaṁ gahapatiṁ āyasmā dabbo mallaputto dhammiyā kathāya sandassesi samādapesi samuttejesi sampahaṁsesi.
And Dabba instructed, inspired, and gladdened him with a teaching.
Atha kho kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati āyasmatā dabbena mallaputtena dhammiyā kathāya sandassito samādapito samuttejito sampahaṁsito āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ etadavoca—
After the talk, he asked Dabba,
“kassa, bhante, amhākaṁ ghare svātanāya bhattaṁ uddiṭṭhan”ti?
“Sir, who has been designated to receive tomorrow’s meal in our house?”
----
----
“Mettiyabhūmajakānaṁ kho, gahapati, bhikkhūnaṁ tumhākaṁ ghare svātanāya bhattaṁ uddiṭṭhan”ti.
“Mettiya and Bhūmajaka.”
----
----
Atha kho kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati anattamano ahosi—
He was disappointed, and thought,
“kathañhi nāma pāpabhikkhū amhākaṁ ghare bhuñjissantī”ti.
“Why should bad monks eat in our house?”
Gharaṁ gantvā dāsiṁ āṇāpesi—
After returning to his house, he told a female slave,
“ye, je, sve bhattikā āgacchanti te koṭṭhake āsanaṁ paññapetvā kaṇājakena bilaṅgadutiyena parivisā”ti.
“For those who are coming for tomorrow’s meal, prepare seats in the gatehouse and serve them broken rice and porridge.”
----
----
“Evaṁ, ayyā”ti kho sā dāsī kalyāṇabhattikassa gahapatino paccassosi.
“Yes, sir.”
----
----
Atha kho mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū—
The monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka said to each other,
“hiyyo kho, āvuso, amhākaṁ kalyāṇabhattikassa gahapatino bhattaṁ uddiṭṭhaṁ,
“Yesterday we were designated a meal from that householder who offers fine food.
sve amhe kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati saputtadāro upatiṭṭhitvā parivisissati;
Tomorrow he’ll serve us together with his wives and children.
aññe odanena pucchissanti, aññe sūpena pucchissanti, aññe telena pucchissanti, aññe uttaribhaṅgena pucchissantī”ti.
Some of them will offer us rice, some bean curry, some oil, and some special curries.”
Te teneva somanassena na cittarūpaṁ rattiyā supiṁsu.
And because they were excited, they did not sleep properly that night.

Atha kho mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaraṁ ādāya yena kalyāṇabhattikassa gahapatino nivesanaṁ tenupasaṅkamiṁsu.
The following morning they robed up, took their bowls and robes, and went to the house of that householder.
Addasā kho sā dāsī mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū dūratova āgacchante. Disvāna koṭṭhake āsanaṁ paññapetvā mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū etadavoca—
When the female slave saw them coming, she prepared seats in the gatehouse and said to them,
“nisīdatha, bhante”ti.
“Please sit, Venerables.”
----
----
Atha kho mettiyabhūmajakānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi—
They thought,
“nissaṁsayaṁ kho na tāva bhattaṁ siddhaṁ bhavissati. Yathā mayaṁ koṭṭhake nisīdeyyāmā”ti.
“The meal can’t be ready, since we’re given seats in the gatehouse.”
----
----
Atha kho sā dāsī kaṇājakena bilaṅgadutiyena upagacchi—
She then brought them broken rice and porridge, and said,
“bhuñjatha, bhante”ti.
“Eat, Sirs.”
----
----
“Mayaṁ kho, bhagini, niccabhattikā”ti.
“But, Sister, we’ve come for the regular meal.”

“Jānāmi, ayyā, niccabhattikāti.
“I know.

Bhuñjatha, bhante”ti.
Please eat.”
----

Atha kho mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū—
They said to each other,
“hiyyo kho, āvuso, kalyāṇabhattiko gahapati ārāmaṁ agamāsi dabbassa mallaputtassa santike.
“Yesterday this householder came to the monastery and spoke with Dabba.
Nissaṁsayaṁ kho mayaṁ dabbena mallaputtena gahapatino antare paribhinnā”ti.
Dabba must be responsible for this split between the householder and us.”
Te teneva domanassena na cittarūpaṁ bhuñjiṁsu.
And because they were dejected, they did not eat as much as they had intended.
Atha kho mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantā ārāmaṁ gantvā pattacīvaraṁ paṭisāmetvā bahārāmakoṭṭhake saṅghāṭipallatthikāya nisīdiṁsu tuṇhībhūtā maṅkubhūtā pattakkhandhā adhomukhā pajjhāyantā appaṭibhānā.
When they had eaten their meal and returned from alms round, they put their bowls and robes away, and squatted on their heels outside the monastery gatehouse, using their upper robes as a back-and-knee strap. They were silent and humiliated, their shoulders drooping and their heads down, glum and speechless.

Atha kho mettiyā bhikkhunī yena mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū etadavoca—
Just then the nun Mettiyā came to them and said,
“vandāmi, ayyā”ti.
“My respectful greetings to you, Venerables.”
Evaṁ vutte, mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū nālapiṁsu.
But they did not respond.

A second time

but they still did not respond.

Saying, “Alright, Venerables,” she went to the Buddha, bowed,

and then repeated what she had been told to say.
“idaṁ, bhante, nacchannaṁ nappatirūpaṁ.

Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ paṭipucchi—
Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Dabba:
“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathāyaṁ bhikkhunī āhā”ti?
“Dabba, do you remember doing as the nun Mettiyā says?”

A second and

a third time the Buddha asked
“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathāyaṁ bhikkhunī āhā”ti?
the same question
“Yathā maṁ, bhante, bhagavā jānātī”ti.
and got the same response.
“Na kho, dabba, dabbā evaṁ nibbeṭhenti.
He then said, “Dabba, the Dabbas don’t give such evasive answers.

“Since I was born, Sir, I don’t recall having sexual intercourse even in a dream, let alone when awake.”

Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—
The Buddha addressed the monks:
“tena hi, bhikkhave, mettiyaṁ bhikkhuniṁ nāsetha.
“Well then, monks, expel the nun Mettiyā,
Ime ca bhikkhū anuyuñjathā”ti.
and call these monks to account.”

The Buddha then got up from his seat and entered his dwelling.

When the monks had expelled the nun Mettiyā,

the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka said to them,
“māvuso, mettiyaṁ bhikkhuniṁ nāsetha.
“Don’t expel the nun Mettiyā;
Na sā kiñci aparajjhati.
she’s done nothing wrong.

She was urged on by us. We were angry and displeased, and trying to get Dabba to leave the monastic life.”

“Evamāvuso”ti.
“Yes.”

The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,

Atha kho te bhikkhū mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
They rebuked those monks in many ways and then told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned those monks:
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ amūlakena pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsethā”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”

“Yo pana bhikkhu bhikkhuṁ duṭṭho doso appatīto amūlakena pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁseyya—‘appeva nāma naṁ imamhā brahmacariyā cāveyyan’ti,
‘If a monk who is angry and displeased groundlessly charges a monk with an offense entailing expulsion, aiming to make him leave the monastic life,

and then after some time, whether he is questioned or not, it is clear that the legal issue is groundless, and he admits to his ill will, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove,
Tena kho pana samayena mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū gijjhakūṭā pabbatā orohantā addasaṁsu chagalakaṁ ajikāya vippaṭipajjantaṁ.
the monks Mettiya and Bhūmajaka were descending from the Vulture Peak when they saw two goats copulating.
Disvāna evamāhaṁsu—
They said to each other,
“handa mayaṁ, āvuso, imaṁ chagalakaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ nāma karoma.
“Let’s give the he-goat the name Dabba the Mallian
Imaṁ ajikaṁ mettiyaṁ nāma bhikkhuniṁ karoma.
and the she-goat the name Mettiyā the nun.
Evaṁ mayaṁ voharissāma.
We can then say,
Pubbe mayaṁ, āvuso, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ sutena avocumhā.
‘Previously we spoke of what we had heard,
Idāni pana amhehi sāmaṁ diṭṭho mettiyāya bhikkhuniyā vippaṭipajjanto”ti.
but now we’ve seen Dabba copulating with the nun Mettiyā.’”
Te taṁ chagalakaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ nāma akaṁsu.
They then gave them those names
Taṁ ajikaṁ mettiyaṁ nāma bhikkhuniṁ akaṁsu.
....
Te bhikkhūnaṁ ārocesuṁ—
and told the monks,
“pubbe mayaṁ, āvuso, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ sutena avocumhā.
“Previously we spoke of what we had heard,
Idāni pana amhehi sāmaṁ diṭṭho mettiyāya bhikkhuniyā vippaṭipajjanto”ti.
but now we’ve seen Dabba copulating with the nun Mettiyā.”
----
----
Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—
The monks replied,
“māvuso, evaṁ avacuttha.
“Don’t say such things.
Nāyasmā dabbo mallaputto evaṁ karissatī”ti.
Venerable Dabba wouldn’t do that.”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
The monks told the Buddha.
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ paṭipucchi—
Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Dabba:
“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathayime bhikkhū āhaṁsū”ti?
“Dabba, do you remember doing as these monks say?”
----
----
“Yathā maṁ, bhante, bhagavā jānātī”ti.
“Venerable Sir, you know what I’m like.”
----
----
Dutiyampi kho bhagavā …pe…
A second
tatiyampi kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ etadavoca—
and a third time the Buddha asked
“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathayime bhikkhū āhaṁsū”ti?
the same question
“Yathā maṁ, bhante, bhagavā jānātī”ti.
and got the same response.
“Na kho, dabba, dabbā evaṁ nibbeṭhenti.
He then said, “Dabba, the Dabbas don’t give such evasive answers.
Sace tayā kataṁ katanti vadehi,
If it was done by you, say so;
sace tayā akataṁ akatanti vadehī”ti.
if it wasn’t done by you, then say that.”
----
----
“Yato ahaṁ, bhante, jāto nābhijānāmi supinantenapi methunadhammaṁ paṭisevitā, pageva jāgaro”ti.
“Since I was born, Sir, I don’t recall having sexual intercourse even in a dream, let alone when awake.”
----
----
Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—“tena hi, bhikkhave, ime bhikkhū anuyuñjathā”ti.
“Well then, monks, call those monks to account.”
Idaṁ vatvā bhagavā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.
And the Buddha got up from his seat and entered his dwelling.
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū anuyuñjiṁsu.
The monks then questioned Mettiya and Bhūmajaka, who told them what had happened.
Te bhikkhūhi anuyuñjīyamānā bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ—
The monks said,
“kiṁ pana tumhe, āvuso, āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsethā”ti?
“So did you charge Venerable Dabba with an offense entailing expulsion, using an unrelated legal issue as a pretext?”
----
----
“Evamāvuso”ti.
“Yes.”
----
----
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma mettiyabhūmajakā bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsessantī”ti.
“How could Mettiya and Bhūmajaka charge Venerable Dabba with an offense entailing expulsion, using an unrelated legal issue as a pretext?”
----
----
Atha kho te bhikkhū mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
They rebuked those monks in many ways and then told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned those monks:
“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsethā”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”
----
----
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”
----
----
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
“kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsessatha.
“Foolish men, how could you do this?
Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
----
----
....
Final ruling
“Yo pana bhikkhu bhikkhuṁ duṭṭho doso appatīto aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁseyya— ‘appeva nāma naṁ imamhā brahmacariyā cāveyyan’ti.
‘If a monk who is angry and displeased, uses an unrelated legal issue as a pretext to charge a monk with an offense entailing expulsion, aiming to make him leave the monastic life,
Tato aparena samayena samanuggāhīyamāno vā asamanuggāhīyamāno vā aññabhāgiyañceva taṁ adhikaraṇaṁ hoti koci deso lesamatto upādinno, bhikkhu ca dosaṁ patiṭṭhāti, saṅghādiseso”ti.
and then after some time, whether he is questioned or not, it is clear that the legal issue is unrelated and was used as a pretext, and he admits to his ill will, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Devadatta went to Kokālika, Kaṭamodakatissaka, Khaṇḍadeviyā-putta, and Samuddadatta. He said to them,
“etha mayaṁ, āvuso, samaṇassa gotamassa saṅghabhedaṁ karissāma cakkabhedan”ti.
“Let’s cause a schism in the Sangha of the ascetic Gotama. Let’s break its authority.”

Evaṁ vutte, kokāliko devadattaṁ etadavoca—
Kokālika said to Devadatta,
“samaṇo kho, āvuso, gotamo mahiddhiko mahānubhāvo.
“The ascetic Gotama is powerful and mighty.
Kathaṁ mayaṁ samaṇassa gotamassa saṅghabhedaṁ karissāma cakkabhedan”ti?
How can we do this?”
----

“Etha mayaṁ, āvuso, samaṇaṁ gotamaṁ upasaṅkamitvā pañca vatthūni yācissāma—
“Well, let’s go to the ascetic Gotama and request five things:
‘bhagavā, bhante, anekapariyāyena appicchassa santuṭṭhassa sallekhassa dhutassa pāsādikassa apacayassa vīriyārambhassa vaṇṇavādī.
‘In many ways, Venerable Sir, you praise fewness of wishes, contentment, self-effacement, ascetic practices, being inspiring, the reduction in things, and being energetic.
Imāni, bhante, pañca vatthūni anekapariyāyena appicchatāya santuṭṭhiyā sallekhāya dhutatāya pāsādikatāya apacayāya vīriyārambhāya saṁvattanti.
And there are five things that lead to just that:

The ascetic Gotama won’t allow this.

Sakkā kho, āvuso, imehi pañcahi vatthūhi samaṇassa gotamassa saṅghabhedo kātuṁ cakkabhedo.
Kokālika said, “It might be possible to cause a schism in the Sangha with these five points,

Atha kho devadatto sapariso yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
Devadatta and his followers then went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down,
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho devadatto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca—
and Devadatta made his request.
“bhagavā, bhante, anekapariyāyena appicchassa …pe…

“The Buddha doesn’t allow the five points.” Glad and elated, he got up from his seat, bowed down, circumambulated the Buddha with his right side toward him, and left with his followers.

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrel sanctuary.
Tena kho pana samayena devadatto saṅghabhedāya parakkamati cakkabhedāya.
At that time Devadatta was pursuing schism in the Sangha, a break in authority.
Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—
The monks were saying,
“adhammavādī devadatto, avinayavādī devadatto.
“Devadatta speaks contrary to the Teaching and the training.
Kathañhi nāma devadatto saṅghabhedāya parakkamissati cakkabhedāyā”ti.
How can he pursue schism in the Sangha?”

Evaṁ vutte, kokāliko kaṭamodakatissako khaṇḍadeviyā putto samuddadatto te bhikkhū etadavocuṁ—
But Kokālika, Kaṭamodakatissaka, Khaṇḍadeviyā-putta, and Samuddadatta said to those monks,
“māyasmanto evaṁ avacuttha.
“No, Venerables,

Devadatta speaks in accordance with the Teaching and the training.
Amhākañca devadatto chandañca ruciñca ādāya voharati jānāti no bhāsati amhākampetaṁ khamatī”ti.
And he speaks with our consent and approval. He knows about us and speaks for us, and we approve of this.”
----
----
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhū devadattassa saṅghabhedāya parakkamantassa anuvattakā bhavissanti vaggavādakā”ti.
“How can these monks support Devadatta’s pursuit of schism in the Sangha?”

Origin story
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Kosambī in Ghosita’s Monastery,
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā channo anācāraṁ ācarati.
Venerable Channa was misbehaving.
Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—
The monks would tell him,
“māvuso channa, evarūpaṁ akāsi.
“Don’t do that;
Netaṁ kappatī”ti.
it’s not allowable,”
So evaṁ vadeti—
and he would reply,
“kiṁ nu kho nāma tumhe, āvuso, maṁ vattabbaṁ maññatha?
“Who are you to correct me?
Ahaṁ kho nāma tumhe vadeyyaṁ.
I should correct you!
Amhākaṁ buddho amhākaṁ dhammo
The Buddha is mine; the Teaching is mine.
amhākaṁ ayyaputtena dhammo abhisamito.
The Master realized the Truth because of me.
Seyyathāpi nāma mahāvāto vāyanto tiṇakaṭṭhapaṇṇasaṭaṁ ekato ussāreyya, seyyathā vā pana nadī pabbateyyā saṅkhasevālapaṇakaṁ ekato ussāreyya;
Just as grass, sticks, and fallen leaves are whirled up by a strong wind all at once, just as various water plants are whirled up by a mountain stream all at once,
evameva tumhe nānānāmā nānāgottā nānājaccā nānākulā pabbajitā ekato ussāritā.
so too have you–after going forth with various names, various families, various castes, various households–been lifted up all at once.
Kiṁ nu kho nāma tumhe, āvuso, maṁ vattabbaṁ maññatha?
So, who are you to correct me?
Ahaṁ kho nāma tumhe vadeyyaṁ.
I should correct you!

Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā channo bhikkhūhi sahadhammikaṁ vuccamāno attānaṁ avacanīyaṁ karissatī”ti.
“How can Venerable Channa make himself incorrigible when he’s legitimately corrected by the monks?”

‘If a monk is difficult to correct, and he makes himself incorrigible when legitimately corrected by the monks concerning the training rules that are recited, saying,

Tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu kāsīsu vassaṁvuṭṭho sāvatthiṁ gacchanto bhagavantaṁ dassanāya, yena kīṭāgiri tadavasari.
Just then a monk who had completed the rainy-season residence in Kāsī was on his way to visit the Buddha at Sāvatthī when he arrived at Kīṭāgiri.
Atha kho so bhikkhu pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya kīṭāgiriṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi
In the morning he robed up, took his bowl and robe, and entered Kīṭāgiri to collect almsfood.
pāsādikena abhikkantena paṭikkantena ālokitena vilokitena samiñjitena pasāritena okkhittacakkhu iriyāpathasampanno.
He was pleasing in his conduct: in going out and coming back, in looking ahead and looking aside, in bending and stretching his arms. His eyes were lowered, and he was perfect in deportment.
Manussā taṁ bhikkhuṁ passitvā evamāhaṁsu—“kvāyaṁ abalabalo viya mandamando viya bhākuṭikabhākuṭiko viya? Ko imassa upagatassa piṇḍakaṁ dassati? Amhākaṁ pana ayyā assajipunabbasukā saṇhā sakhilā sukhasambhāsā mihitapubbaṅgamā ehisvāgatavādino abbhākuṭikā uttānamukhā pubbabhāsino. Tesaṁ kho nāma piṇḍo dātabbo”ti.
When people saw him, they said, “Who’s this, acting like a moron and always frowning? Who’s gonna give almsfood to him? Almsfood should be given to our Venerables Assaji and Punabbasuka, for they are gentle, congenial, pleasant to speak with, greeting one with a smile, welcoming, friendly, open, the first to speak.”

Addasā kho aññataro upāsako taṁ bhikkhuṁ kīṭāgirismiṁ piṇḍāya carantaṁ.
A certain lay follower saw that monk walking for alms in Kīṭāgiri.
Disvāna yena so bhikkhu tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ abhivādetvā etadavoca—“api, bhante, piṇḍo labbhatī”ti?
He approached him, bowed, and said, “Venerable, have you received any almsfood?”
----

“Na kho, āvuso, piṇḍo labbhatī”ti.
“No, I haven’t.”

“Ehi, bhante, gharaṁ gamissāmā”ti.
“Come, let’s go to my house.”

Atha kho so upāsako taṁ bhikkhuṁ gharaṁ netvā bhojetvā etadavoca—
He took that monk to his house and gave him a meal.
“kahaṁ, bhante, ayyo gamissatī”ti?
He then said, “Where are you going, Venerable?”
----
----
“Sāvatthiṁ kho ahaṁ, āvuso, gamissāmi bhagavantaṁ dassanāyā”ti.
“I’m going to Sāvatthī to see the Buddha.”

“Tena hi, bhante, mama vacanena bhagavato pāde sirasā vanda, evañca vadehi—
“Well then, would you please pay respect at the Buddha’s feet in my name and say,
‘duṭṭho, bhante, kīṭāgirismiṁ āvāso.
‘Sir, the monastery at Kīṭāgiri has been corrupted.

“Evamāvuso”ti kho so bhikkhu tassa upāsakassa paṭissutvā yena sāvatthi tena pakkāmi.
The monk consented, got up, and set out for Sāvatthī.
Anupubbena yena sāvatthi jetavanaṁ anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāmo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.
When he eventually arrived, he went to the Buddha in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. He bowed to the Buddha and sat down.
Āciṇṇaṁ kho panetaṁ buddhānaṁ bhagavantānaṁ āgantukehi bhikkhūhi saddhiṁ paṭisammodituṁ.
Since it is the custom for Buddhas to greet newly arrived monks,
Atha kho bhagavā taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca—
the Buddha said to him,
“kacci, bhikkhu, khamanīyaṁ kacci yāpanīyaṁ,
“I hope you’re keeping well, monk, I hope you’re getting by?

Idhāhaṁ, bhante, kāsīsu vassaṁvuṭṭho sāvatthiṁ āgacchanto bhagavantaṁ dassanāya yena kīṭāgiri tadavasariṁ.

Soon afterwards a sangha of monks, headed by Sāriputta and Moggallāna, went to Kīṭāgiri and did the procedure of banishing Assaji and Punabbasuka, prohibiting them from staying at Kīṭāgiri.

After the Sangha had done the procedure, those monks did not conduct themselves properly or suitably so as to deserve to be released, nor did they ask the monks for forgiveness. Instead they abused and reviled them, and they slandered them as acting from desire, ill will, confusion, and fear. And they left and they disrobed.
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,
“kathañhi nāma assajipunabbasukā bhikkhū saṅghena pabbājanīyakammakatā na sammā vattissanti, na lomaṁ pātessanti, na netthāraṁ vattissanti, na bhikkhū khamāpessanti, akkosissanti paribhāsissanti, chandagāmitā dosagāmitā mohagāmitā bhayagāmitā pāpessanti pakkamissantipi vibbhamissantipī”ti.

So bhikkhu bhikkhūhi evamassa vacanīyo—

“You’re acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear. Because of this sort of offense, you only banish some, but not others,”
so bhikkhu bhikkhūhi evamassa vacanīyo—
the monks should correct him like this:
‘māyasmā evaṁ avaca. Na ca bhikkhū chandagāmino. Na ca bhikkhū dosagāmino. Na ca bhikkhū mohagāmino. Na ca bhikkhū bhayagāmino.
“No, Venerable, the monks are not acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear.

Evañca so bhikkhu bhikkhūhi vuccamāno tatheva paggaṇheyya, so bhikkhu bhikkhūhi yāvatatiyaṁ samanubhāsitabbo tassa paṭinissaggāya.
If that monk continues as before, the monks should press him up to three times to make him stop.

If he then stops, all is well.

Kuladūsakoti
A corrupter of families:
kulāni dūseti pupphena vā phalena vā cuṇṇena vā mattikāya vā dantakaṭṭhena vā veḷuyā vejjikāya vā jaṅghapesanikena vā.
he corrupts families by means of flowers, fruit, bath powder, soap, tooth cleaners, bamboo, medical treatment, or by taking messages on foot.
Pāpasamācāroti
Badly behaved:
mālāvacchaṁ ropetipi ropāpetipi, siñcatipi siñcāpetipi, ocinātipi ocināpetipi, ganthetipi ganthāpetipi.
he plants flowering trees and has it done; he waters them and has it done; he plucks them and has it done; he ties the flowers together and has it done.
Dissanti ceva suyyanti cāti
Has been seen and heard about:
ye saṁmukhā te passanti, ye tirokkhā te suṇanti.
those who are present see it; those who are absent hear about it.
Kulāni ca tena duṭṭhānīti
The families corrupted by him:
pubbe saddhā hutvā taṁ āgamma assaddhā honti, pasannā hutvā appasannā honti.
they have lost their faith because of him; they have lost their confidence because of him.
Dissanti ceva suyyanti cāti
Have been seen and heard about:
ye saṁmukhā te passanti, ye tirokkhā te suṇanti.
those who are present see it; those who are absent hear about it.
So bhikkhūti
Him:
yo so kuladūsako bhikkhu.
that monk who is a corrupter of families.
Bhikkhūhīti
The monks:
aññehi bhikkhūhi. Ye passanti ye suṇanti. Tehi vattabbo—
other monks, those who see it or hear about it. They should correct him like this:
“āyasmā kho kuladūsako pāpasamācāro. Āyasmato kho pāpakā samācārā dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Kulāni cāyasmatā duṭṭhāni dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Pakkamatāyasmā imamhā āvāsā. Alaṁ te idha vāsenā”ti.
“Venerable, you’re a corrupter of families and badly behaved. Your bad behavior has been seen and heard about, and the families corrupted by you have been seen and heard about. Leave this monastery; you’ve stayed here long enough.”
Evañca so bhikkhu bhikkhūhi vuccamāno te bhikkhū evaṁ vadeyya—“chandagāmino ca bhikkhū, dosagāmino ca bhikkhū, mohagāmino ca bhikkhū, bhayagāmino ca bhikkhū. Tādisikāya āpattiyā ekaccaṁ pabbājenti ekaccaṁ na pabbājentī”ti.
If he replies, “You’re acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear. Because of this sort of offense, you only banish some, but not others.”
So bhikkhūti
Him:
yo so kammakato bhikkhu.
that monk who is having a legal procedure done against him.
Bhikkhūhīti
The monks:
aññehi bhikkhūhi. Ye passanti ye suṇanti. Tehi vattabbo—
other monks, those who see it or hear about it. They should correct him like this:
“māyasmā evaṁ avaca. Na ca bhikkhū chandagāmino, na ca bhikkhū dosagāmino, na ca bhikkhū mohagāmino, na ca bhikkhū bhayagāmino.
“No, Venerable, the monks are not acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear.
Āyasmā kho kuladūsako pāpasamācāro. Āyasmato kho pāpakā samācārā dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Kulāni cāyasmatā duṭṭhāni dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Pakkamatāyasmā imamhā āvāsā. Alaṁ te idha vāsenā”ti.
Venerable, you’re a corrupter of families and badly behaved. Your bad behavior has been seen and heard about, and the families corrupted by you have been seen and heard about. Leave this monastery; you’ve stayed here long enough.”
Dutiyampi vattabbo.
And they should correct him a second
Tatiyampi vattabbo.
and a third time.

Sace paṭinissajjati, iccetaṁ kusalaṁ.
If he stops, all is well.
No ce paṭinissajjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If he does not stop, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Sutvā na vadanti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If those who hear about it do not say anything, they commit an offense of wrong conduct.
----
----
So bhikkhu saṅghamajjhampi ākaḍḍhitvā vattabbo—
That monk, even if he has to be pulled into the Sangha, should be corrected like this:
“māyasmā evaṁ avaca. Na ca bhikkhū chandagāmino, na ca bhikkhū dosagāmino, na ca bhikkhū mohagāmino, na ca bhikkhū bhayagāmino.
“No, Venerable, the monks are not acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear.
Āyasmā kho kuladūsako pāpasamācāro. Āyasmato kho pāpakā samācārā dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Kulāni cāyasmatā duṭṭhāni dissanti ceva suyyanti ca. Pakkamatāyasmā imamhā āvāsā. Alaṁ te idha vāsenā”ti.

So bhikkhu samanubhāsitabbo.
Should press him:
“Evañca pana, bhikkhave, samanubhāsitabbo.
“And, monks, he should be pressed like this.
Byattena bhikkhunā paṭibalena saṅgho ñāpetabbo—
A competent and capable monk should inform the Sangha:

‘Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.
‘Please, Venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.
Ayaṁ itthannāmo bhikkhu saṅghena pabbājanīyakammakato bhikkhū chandagāmitā dosagāmitā mohagāmitā bhayagāmitā pāpeti.
The monk so-and-so, who has had a legal procedure of banishment done against himself, is slandering the monks as acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear.
So taṁ vatthuṁ na paṭinissajjati.
And he keeps on doing it.
Yadi saṅghassa pattakallaṁ, saṅgho itthannāmaṁ bhikkhuṁ samanubhāseyya tassa vatthussa paṭinissaggāya.
If it seems appropriate to the Sangha, the Sangha should press him to make him stop.
Esā ñatti.
This is the motion.

Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.

Ayaṁ itthannāmo bhikkhu saṅghena pabbājanīyakammakato bhikkhū chandagāmitā dosagāmitā mohagāmitā bhayagāmitā pāpeti.
The monk so-and-so, who has had a legal procedure of banishment done against himself, is slandering the monks as acting out of desire, ill will, confusion, and fear.
So taṁ vatthuṁ na paṭinissajjati.
And he keeps on doing it.
Saṅgho itthannāmaṁ bhikkhuṁ samanubhāsati tassa vatthussa paṭinissaggāya.
The Sangha presses him to make him stop.
Yassāyasmato khamati itthannāmassa bhikkhuno samanubhāsanā tassa vatthussa paṭinissaggāya, so tuṇhassa; yassa nakkhamati, so bhāseyya.
Any monk who approves of pressing him to make him stop should remain silent. Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.

Ñattiyā dukkaṭaṁ,
After the motion, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
dvīhi kammavācāhi thullaccayā,
After each of the first two announcements, he commits a serious offense.
kammavācāpariyosāne āpatti saṅghādisesassa.
When the last announcement is finished, he commits an offense entailing suspension.
Saṅghādisesaṁ ajjhāpajjantassa ñattiyā dukkaṭaṁ, dvīhi kammavācāhi thullaccayā paṭippassambhanti.
For one who commits the offense entailing suspension, the offense of wrong conduct and the serious offenses are annulled.
----
----
Saṅghādisesoti
He commits an offense entailing suspension:
saṅghova tassā āpattiyā parivāsaṁ deti, mūlāya paṭikassati, mānattaṁ deti, abbheti; na sambahulā, na ekapuggalo. Tena vuccati—“saṅghādiseso”ti,
only the Sangha gives probation for that offense, sends back to the beginning, gives the trial period, and rehabilitates—not several monks, not an individual. Therefore it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.
tasseva āpattinikāyassa nāmakammaṁ adhivacanaṁ. Tenapi vuccati “saṅghādiseso”ti.
This is the name and designation of this class of offense. Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

“Venerables, the thirteen rules on suspension have been recited, nine being immediate offenses, four after the third announcement.
Yesaṁ bhikkhu aññataraṁ vā aññataraṁ vā āpajjitvā yāvatīhaṁ jānaṁ paṭicchādeti tāvatīhaṁ tena bhikkhunā akāmā parivattabbaṁ.
If a monk commits any one of them, he is to undergo probation for the same number of days as he knowingly concealed that offense.
Parivutthaparivāsena bhikkhunā uttari chārattaṁ bhikkhumānattāya paṭipajjitabbaṁ.
When this is completed, he must undertake the trial period for a further six days.
Ciṇṇamānatto bhikkhu yattha siyā vīsatigaṇo bhikkhusaṅgho tattha so bhikkhu abbhetabbo.
When this is completed, he is to be rehabilitated wherever there is a sangha of at least twenty monks.
Ekenapi ce ūno vīsatigaṇo bhikkhusaṅgho taṁ bhikkhuṁ abbheyya, so ca bhikkhu anabbhito, te ca bhikkhū gārayhā, ayaṁ tattha sāmīci.
If that monk is rehabilitated by a sangha of even one less than twenty, that monk is not rehabilitated and those monks are at fault. This is the proper procedure.
