15. Dutiyasenāsanasikkhāpada

The second training rule on furniture

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 sattarasavaggiyā bhikkhū sahāyakā honti.
At that time the monks from the group of seventeen were friends.

Te vasantāpi ekatova vasanti, pakkamantāpi ekatova pakkamanti.
The lived together, and when going somewhere they would leave together.

Te aññatarasmiṁ saṅghike vihāre seyyaṁ santharitvā taṁ pakkamantā neva uddhariṁsu na uddharāpesuṁ, anāpucchā pakkamiṁsu.
On one occasion they put out bedding in a dwelling belonging to the Sangha, but then departed without putting it away, having it put away, or informing anyone.

Senāsanaṁ upacikāhi khāyitaṁ hoti.
The furniture was eaten by termites.

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

“kathañhi nāma sattarasavaggiyā bhikkhū saṅghike vihāre seyyaṁ santharitvā taṁ pakkamantā neva uddharissanti na uddharāpessanti, anāpucchā pakkamissanti, senāsanaṁ upacikāhi khāyitan”ti.
“How could those monks from the group of seventeen put out bedding in a dwelling belonging to the Sangha, and then depart without putting it away, getting it put away, or informing anyone? The furniture was eaten by termites.”

Atha kho te bhikkhū sattarasavaggiye bhikkhū anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
After rebuking those monks in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks:

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, sattarasavaggiyā bhikkhū saṅghike vihāre seyyaṁ santharitvā taṁ pakkamantā neva uddhariṁsu na uddharāpesuṁ, anāpucchā pakkamiṁsu, senāsanaṁ upacikāhi khāyitan”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that those monks did this?”

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

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …

kathañhi nāma te, bhikkhave, moghapurisā saṅghike vihāre seyyaṁ santharitvā taṁ pakkamantā neva uddharissanti na uddharāpessanti, anāpucchā pakkamissanti, senāsanaṁ upacikāhi khāyitaṁ.
“How could those foolish men do this?

Netaṁ, bhikkhave, 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:

“Yo pana bhikkhu saṅghike vihāre seyyaṁ santharitvā vā santharāpetvā vā taṁ pakkamanto neva uddhareyya na uddharāpeyya, anāpucchaṁ vā gaccheyya, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a monk puts out bedding in a dwelling belonging to the Sangha, or has it put out, and he then departs without putting it away, having it put away, or informing anyone, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”

Yo panāti
A:

yo yādiso …pe…
whoever …

Monk:

…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
