0.52. Udosita(dutiyakathina)sikkhāpadaStaying apart from one’s robes
1.0.1Origin story
1.0.2First substory
1.1PTS 3.198Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.1.2Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhū bhikkhūnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamanti.At that time the monks stored one of their robes with other monks and then left to wander the country in a sarong and an upper robe.1.3Tāni cīvarāni ciraṁ nikkhittāni kaṇṇakitāni honti.Because they were stored for a long time, the robes became moldy.1.4Tāni bhikkhū otāpenti.The monks put them out in the sun.
1.5Addasā kho āyasmā ānando senāsanacārikaṁ āhiṇḍanto te bhikkhū tāni cīvarāni otāpente.Then, while walking about the dwellings, Venerable Ānanda noticed that the monks were sunning those robes.1.6Disvāna yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te bhikkhū etadavoca—He asked them,1.7“kassimāni, āvuso, cīvarāni kaṇṇakitānī”ti?“Whose moldy robes are these?”1.8Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmato ānandassa etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.And they told him what had happened.1.9Āyasmā ānando ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—Venerable Ānanda complained and criticized them,1.10“kathañhi nāma bhikkhū bhikkhūnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamissantī”ti.“How can those monks store a robe with other monks and then leave to wander the country in a sarong and an upper robe?”
1.11Atha kho āyasmā ānando te bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi …pe…After rebuking those monks in many ways, Venerable Ānanda told the Buddha. Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:1.12“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhū bhikkhūnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamantī”ti?“Is it true, monks, that there are monks who do this?”
1.13“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”
1.14Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them …1.15kathañhi nāma te, bhikkhave, moghapurisā bhikkhūnaṁ hatthe cīvaraṁ nikkhipitvā santaruttarena janapadacārikaṁ pakkamissanti.“How can those foolish men do this?1.16Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” …1.17evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
1.18.0Preliminary ruling
1.18.1“Niṭṭhitacīvarasmiṁ bhikkhunā ubbhatasmiṁ kathine ekarattampi ce bhikkhu ticīvarena vippavaseyya, nissaggiyaṁ pācittiyan”ti.‘When his robe is finished and the robe season has ended, if a monk stays apart from his three robes even for a single day, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”
1.19Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.
2.0Second substory
2.1PTS 3.199Tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu kosambiyaṁ gilāno hoti.At one time a certain monk at Kosambī was sick.2.2Ñātakā tassa bhikkhuno santike dūtaṁ pāhesuṁ—His relatives sent him a message, saying,2.3“āgacchatu bhadanto, mayaṁ, upaṭṭhahissāmā”ti.“Come, venerable, we’ll nurse you.”2.4Bhikkhūpi evamāhaṁsu—“gacchāvuso, ñātakā taṁ upaṭṭhahissantī”ti.The monks urged him to go,2.5So evamāha—but he said,2.6“bhagavatāvuso, sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ—“The Buddha has laid down a training rule2.7‘na ticīvarena vippavasitabban’ti.that you can’t be apart from your three robes.2.8Ahañcamhi gilāno.Now because I’m sick,2.9Na sakkomi ticīvaraṁ ādāya pakkamituṁ.I’m unable to travel with my three robes.2.10Nāhaṁ gamissāmī”ti.So I can’t go.”
2.11Bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.They told the Buddha.2.12Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—Soon afterwards he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:
2.13“anujānāmi, bhikkhave, gilānassa bhikkhuno ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ dātuṁ.“Monks, I allow you to give permission to a sick monk to stay apart from his three robes.
2.14Evañca pana, bhikkhave, dātabbā.And it should be given like this.2.15Tena gilānena bhikkhunā saṅghaṁ upasaṅkamitvā ekaṁsaṁ uttarāsaṅgaṁ karitvā vuḍḍhānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ pāde vanditvā ukkuṭikaṁ nisīditvā añjaliṁ paggahetvā evamassa vacanīyo—After approaching the Sangha, the sick monk should arrange his upper robe over one shoulder and pay respect at the feet of the senior monks. He should then squat on his heels, raise his joined palms, and say,2.16‘ahaṁ, bhante, gilāno.‘Venerables, I’m sick.2.17Na sakkomi ticīvaraṁ ādāya pakkamituṁ.I’m unable to travel with my three robes.2.18Sohaṁ, bhante, saṅghaṁ ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ yācāmī’ti.I ask the Sangha for permission to stay apart from my three robes.’2.19Dutiyampi yācitabbā.And he should ask a second2.20Tatiyampi yācitabbā.and a third time.2.21Byattena bhikkhunā paṭibalena saṅgho ñāpetabbo—A competent and capable monk should then inform the Sangha:
2.22‘Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.‘Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.2.23Ayaṁ itthannāmo bhikkhu gilāno.The monk so-and-so is sick.2.24Na sakkoti ticīvaraṁ ādāya pakkamituṁ.He is unable to travel with his three robes.2.25So saṅghaṁ ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ yācati.He is asking the Sangha for permission to stay apart from his three robes.2.26Yadi saṅghassa pattakallaṁ, saṅgho itthannāmassa bhikkhuno ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ dadeyya.If the Sangha is ready, it should give permission to monk so-and-so to stay apart from his three robes.2.27Esā ñatti.This is the motion.
2.28Suṇātu me, bhante, saṅgho.Please, venerables, I ask the Sangha to listen.2.29Ayaṁ itthannāmo bhikkhu gilāno.The monk so-and-so is sick.2.30Na sakkoti ticīvaraṁ ādāya pakkamituṁ.He is unable to travel with his three robes.2.31So saṅghaṁ ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ yācati.He is asking the Sangha for permission to stay apart from his three robes.2.32Saṅgho itthannāmassa bhikkhuno ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiṁ deti.The Sangha gives permission to monk so-and-so to stay apart from his three robes.2.33Yassāyasmato khamati itthannāmassa bhikkhuno ticīvarena avippavāsasammutiyā dānaṁ, so tuṇhassa;Any monk who approves of giving permission to monk so-and-so to stay apart from his three robes should remain silent.2.34yassa nakkhamati, so bhāseyya.Any monk who doesn’t approve should speak up.
2.35Dinnā saṅghena itthannāmassa bhikkhuno ticīvarena avippavāsasammuti.The Sangha has given permission to monk so-and-so to stay apart from his three robes.2.36Khamati saṅghassa, tasmā tuṇhī,The Sangha approves and is therefore silent.2.37evametaṁ dhārayāmī’ti.I will remember it thus.’
2.38Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
