0.41. Pārivāsikavatta1. The proper conduct for those on probation

1.1.1PTS 2.31Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.1.1.2Tena kho pana samayena pārivāsikā bhikkhū sādiyanti pakatattānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhivādanaṁ, paccuṭṭhānaṁ, añjalikammaṁ, sāmīcikammaṁ, āsanābhihāraṁ, seyyābhihāraṁ, pādodakaṁ pādapīṭhaṁ, pādakathalikaṁ, pattacīvarappaṭiggahaṇaṁ, nahāne piṭṭhiparikammaṁ.At that time monks on probation consented to regular monks bowing down to them, standing up for them, raising their joined palms to them, doing acts of respect toward them, offering them a seat, offering them a bed, offering them water for washing their feet and a foot stool, offering them a foot scraper, receiving their bowls and robes, and massaging their backs when bathing.1.1.3Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—The monks of few desires complained and criticized them,1.1.4“kathañhi nāma pārivāsikā bhikkhū sādiyissanti pakatattānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhivādanaṁ, paccuṭṭhānaṁ, añjalikammaṁ, sāmīcikammaṁ, āsanābhihāraṁ, seyyābhihāraṁ, pādodakaṁ pādapīṭhaṁ, pādakathalikaṁ, pattacīvarappaṭiggahaṇaṁ, nahāne piṭṭhiparikamman”ti.“How can monks on probation consent to these things?”1.1.5Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.The monks told the Buddha.

1.1.6Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā bhikkhū paṭipucchi—Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:

1.1.7“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, pārivāsikā bhikkhū sādiyanti pakatattānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhivādanaṁ, paccuṭṭhānaṁ, añjalikammaṁ, sāmīcikammaṁ, āsanābhihāraṁ, seyyābhihāraṁ, pādodakaṁ pādapīṭhaṁ, pādakathalikaṁ, pattacīvarappaṭiggahaṇaṁ, nahāne piṭṭhiparikamman”ti?“Is it true, monks, that the monks on probation are consenting to these things?”

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

1.1.9Vigarahi buddho bhagavā—The Buddha rebuked them …1.1.10“ananucchavikaṁ …pe…“It’s not suitable …1.1.11kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, pārivāsikā bhikkhū sādiyissanti pakatattānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhivādanaṁ, paccuṭṭhānaṁ, añjalikammaṁ, sāmīcikammaṁ, āsanābhihāraṁ, seyyābhihāraṁ, pādodakaṁ pādapīṭhaṁ, pādakathalikaṁ, pattacīvarappaṭiggahaṇaṁ, nahāne piṭṭhiparikammaṁ.How can monks on probation consent to these things?1.1.12Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …”1.1.13vigarahitvā …pe…After rebuking them …1.1.14dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

1.1.15“na, bhikkhave, pārivāsikena bhikkhunā sāditabbaṁ“A monk on probation shouldn’t consent to:
