1.1.0Origin story

1.1.1PTS 3.167Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.At one time when the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove,1.1.2Tena 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.1.1.3Disvāna evamāhaṁsu—They said to each other,1.1.4“handa mayaṁ, āvuso, imaṁ chagalakaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ nāma karoma.“Let’s give the he-goat the name Dabba the Mallian1.1.5Imaṁ ajikaṁ mettiyaṁ nāma bhikkhuniṁ karoma.and the she-goat the name Mettiyā the nun.1.1.6Evaṁ mayaṁ voharissāma.We can then say,1.1.7Pubbe mayaṁ, āvuso, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ sutena avocumhā.‘Previously we spoke of what we had heard,1.1.8Idāni pana amhehi sāmaṁ diṭṭho mettiyāya bhikkhuniyā vippaṭipajjanto”ti.but now we’ve seen Dabba copulating with the nun Mettiyā.’”1.1.9Te taṁ chagalakaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ nāma akaṁsu.They then gave them those names1.1.10Taṁ ajikaṁ mettiyaṁ nāma bhikkhuniṁ akaṁsu.1.1.11Te bhikkhūnaṁ ārocesuṁ—and told the monks,1.1.12“pubbe mayaṁ, āvuso, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ sutena avocumhā.“Previously we spoke of what we had heard,1.1.13Idāni pana amhehi sāmaṁ diṭṭho mettiyāya bhikkhuniyā vippaṭipajjanto”ti.but now we’ve seen Dabba copulating with the nun Mettiyā.”

1.1.14Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—The monks replied,1.1.15“māvuso, evaṁ avacuttha.“Don’t say such things.1.1.16Nāyasmā dabbo mallaputto evaṁ karissatī”ti.Venerable Dabba wouldn’t do that.”

1.1.17Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.The monks told the Buddha.1.1.18Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ paṭipucchi—Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Dabba:1.1.19“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathayime bhikkhū āhaṁsū”ti?“Dabba, do you remember doing as these monks say?”

1.1.20“Yathā maṁ, bhante, bhagavā jānātī”ti.“Sir, you know what I’m like.”

1.1.21Dutiyampi kho bhagavā …pe…A second1.1.22tatiyampi kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ etadavoca—and a third time the Buddha asked1.1.23“sarasi tvaṁ, dabba, evarūpaṁ kattā yathayime bhikkhū āhaṁsū”ti?the same question1.1.24“Yathā maṁ, bhante, bhagavā jānātī”ti.and got the same response.1.1.25“Na kho, dabba, dabbā evaṁ nibbeṭhenti.He then said, “Dabba, the Dabbas don’t give such evasive answers.1.1.26Sace tayā kataṁ katanti vadehi,If it was done by you, say so;1.1.27sace tayā akataṁ akatanti vadehī”ti.if it wasn’t, then say that.”

1.1.28“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.”

1.1.29Atha kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi—“tena hi, bhikkhave, ime bhikkhū anuyuñjathā”ti.“Well then, monks, call those monks to account.”1.1.30Idaṁ vatvā bhagavā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.And the Buddha got up from his seat and entered his dwelling.

1.2.1Atha kho te bhikkhū mettiyabhūmajake bhikkhū anuyuñjiṁsu.The monks then questioned Mettiya and Bhūmajaka, who told them what had happened.1.2.2Te bhikkhūhi anuyuñjīyamānā bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ—The monks said,1.2.3“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?”

1.2.4“Evamāvuso”ti.“Yes.”

1.2.5Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,1.2.6“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?”

1.2.7Atha 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:1.2.8“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsethā”ti?“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”

1.2.9“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

1.2.10Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them …1.2.11“kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, dabbaṁ mallaputtaṁ aññabhāgiyassa adhikaraṇassa kiñci desaṁ lesamattaṁ upādāya pārājikena dhammena anuddhaṁsessatha.“Foolish men, how could you do this?1.2.12Netaṁ, moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” …1.2.13evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

1.2.14.1PTS 3.168“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,1.2.15Tato 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.’”
