88. Tūlonaddhasikkhāpada

The training rule on upholstered with cotton down

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpenti.
the monks from the group of six had beds and benches made upholstered with cotton down.

Manussā vihāracārikaṁ āhiṇḍantā passitvā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
When people walking about the dwellings saw this, they complained and criticized those monks,

“kathañhi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessanti, seyyathāpi gihī kāmabhogino”ti.
“How can the Sakyan monastics have beds and benches made upholstered with cotton down? They’re just like householders who indulge in worldly pleasures!”

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.
The monks heard the complaints of those people,

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

“kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessantī”ti …pe…
“How could the monks from the group of six do this?” …

“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpethā”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that you did this?”

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

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …

kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, mañcampi pīṭhampi tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpessatha.
“Foolish men, how could you do this?

Netaṁ, moghapurisā, 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 mañcaṁ vā pīṭhaṁ vā tūlonaddhaṁ kārāpeyya, uddālanakaṁ pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a monk has a bed or a bench made upholstered with cotton down, it is to be stripped, and he commits an offense entailing confession.’”

Yo panāti
A:

yo yādiso …pe…
whoever …

bhikkhūti
Monk:

…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.

Kārāpeyyāti
Has made:

karoti vā kārāpeti vā, payoge dukkaṭaṁ.
if he makes one or has one made, then for the effort there is an act of wrong conduct.

Paṭilābhena uddāletvā pācittiyaṁ desetabbaṁ.
When he gets it, it is to be stripped, and he is then to confess an offense entailing confession.

Parehi vippakataṁ attanā pariyosāpeti, āpatti pācittiyassa.

Aññena kataṁ paṭilabhitvā paribhuñjati, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
