35. Nikkaḍḍhanasikkhāpada

The training rule on throwing out

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 bhaddā kāpilānī sākete vassaṁ upagatā hoti.
At that time Bhaddā Kāpilānī had entered the rainy-season residence at Sāketa.

Sā kenacideva karaṇīyena ubbāḷhā thullanandāya bhikkhuniyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
But because she was disturbed by a certain matter, she sent a message to the nun Thullanandā:

“sace me ayyā thullanandā upassayaṁ dadeyya āgaccheyyāmahaṁ sāvatthin”ti.
“If you would give me a dwelling place, I would come to Sāvatthī.”

Thullanandā bhikkhunī evamāha—
Thullanandā replied,

“āgacchatu, dassāmī”ti.
“Please come; I’ll give you one.”

Atha kho bhaddā kāpilānī sāketā sāvatthiṁ agamāsi.
Bhaddā Kāpilānī then traveled from Sāketa to Sāvatthī,

Thullanandā bhikkhunī bhaddāya kāpilāniyā upassayaṁ adāsi.
and Thullanandā gave her a dwelling place.

Tena kho pana samayena thullanandā bhikkhunī bahussutā hoti bhāṇikā visāradā paṭṭā dhammiṁ kathaṁ kātuṁ.
At that time Thullanandā was a learned reciter, and she was confident and skilled at giving teachings.

Bhaddāpi kāpilānī bahussutā hoti bhāṇikā visāradā paṭṭā dhammiṁ kathaṁ kātuṁ uḷārasambhāvitā.
Bhaddā Kāpilānī, too, was a learned reciter who was confident and skilled at giving teachings, and she was respected for her excellence.

Manussā—

“ayyā bhaddā kāpilānī bahussutā bhāṇikā visāradā paṭṭā dhammiṁ kathaṁ kātuṁ uḷārasambhāvitā”ti bhaddaṁ kāpilāniṁ paṭhamaṁ payirupāsitvā pacchā thullanandaṁ bhikkhuniṁ payirupāsanti.
Because of this, people visited Bhaddā Kāpilānī first and then Thullanandā.

Thullanandā bhikkhunī issāpakatā—
Overcome by jealousy, Thullanandā thought,

“imā kira appicchā santuṭṭhā pavivittā asaṁsaṭṭhā yā imā saññattibahulā viññattibahulā viharantī”ti kupitā anattamanā bhaddaṁ kāpilāniṁ upassayā nikkaḍḍhi.
“These ones, who are supposedly contented and have few desires, who are supposedly secluded and not socializing, are always persuading and convincing people.” And in anger she threw Bhaddā Kāpilānī out of that dwelling place.

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,

“kathañhi nāma ayyā thullanandā ayyāya bhaddāya kāpilāniyā upassayaṁ datvā kupitā anattamanā nikkaḍḍhissatī”ti …pe…
“How could Venerable Thullanandā give a dwelling place to Venerable Bhaddā Kāpilānī and then throw her out in anger?” …

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī bhaddāya kāpilāniyā upassayaṁ datvā kupitā anattamanā nikkaḍḍhatī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā did this?”

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

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her …

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī bhaddāya kāpilāniyā upassayaṁ datvā kupitā anattamanā nikkaḍḍhissati.
“How could the nun Thullanandā do this?

Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

“Yā pana bhikkhunī bhikkhuniyā upassayaṁ datvā kupitā anattamanā nikkaḍḍheyya vā nikkaḍḍhāpeyya vā, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun gives a dwelling place to a nun, and then, in anger, throws her out or has her thrown out, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
