Bhikkhu Vibhanga - Pācittiya 5: The Training Rule on a Sleeping Place Together With.
- Translated from the Pali by Brahmali Bhikkhu.
Origin story
First sub-story
1 At one time the Buddha, the Master, was staying at Āḷavī at the Aggāḷava Shrine. At that time the lay disciples were going to the monastery to listen to the Dhamma. When the Dhamma-talk was over, the senior monks went to their own dwellings. But the newly ordained monks went to sleep right there in the assembly-hall together with the lay people - mindlessly, thoughtlessly, naked, muttering, and snoring. The lay people complained and criticised them: “How can the venerables go to sleep, mindlessly, thoughtlessly, naked, muttering, and snoring?"
2 Monks heard the complaints of those lay people, and the monks of few desires … complained and criticised those monks: “How can those monks arrange their sleeping places with people who are not fully ordained?"
3 After criticising those newly ordained monks in many ways, they informed the Master. … “Is it true, monks, that monks are doing this?" “It’s true, Master." The Buddha, the Master, criticised them: “ … How can those foolish men arrange their sleeping places with people who are not fully ordained? This will not give rise to confidence in those without it … And, monks, this training rule should be recited thus:
Preliminary ruling
4 “If a monk arranges his sleeping place with a person who is not fully ordained, he commits an offence entailing confession."
5 In this way the Master laid down this training rule for the monks.
Second sub-story
6
After staying at Āḷavī for as long as he wanted, the Master set out for Kosambī. Walking on tour by stages, he eventually arrives at Kosambī, where he stayed at the Badarikā Monastery.
Just then the monks said to Venerable Rāhula: “Rāhula, the Master has laid down a training rule that we cannot arrange our sleeping places with a person who is not fully ordained. Please find another sleeping place." Since Venerable Rāhula was not able to get a sleeping place, he lay down to sleep in the toilet. Then, after rising early in the morning, the Master went to the toilet, where he coughed. And Venerable Rāhula coughed too.
“Who is there?"
“It’s me, Master, Rāhula."
“Why are you seated here, Rāhula?"
7 Venerable Rāhula informed the Master. The Master then spoke on the Dhamma and addressed the monks: “Monks, I allow you to arrange your sleeping place with a person who is not fully ordained for two or three nights. And so, monks, this training rule should be recited thus:
Final ruling
8 “If a monk uses a sleeping place for more than two or three nights with a person who is not fully ordained, he commits an offence entailing confession."
Definitions
9 A: whoever … Monk: … The monk who is ordained by a complete Sangha through a procedure of one motion and three announcements, which is unchallengeable and fit to stand; this sort of monk is meant in this case.
10A person who is not fully ordained: anyone except a fully ordained monk.
11For more than two or three nights: beyond two or three nights.
13Sleeping place: fully roofed, fully walled; mostly roofed, mostly walled.
14Uses a sleeping place: at dawn on the fourth day: if the monk lies down when the person who is not fully ordained is already lying down, he commits an offence entailing confession; if the person who is not fully ordained lies down when the monk is already lying down, he commits an offence entailing confession; if they both lie down together, he commits an offence entailing confession; if they get up and then lie down again and again, he commits an offence entailing confession.
Permutations
15If it is a person who is not fully ordained, and the monk perceives them as not fully ordained, and he uses a sleeping place with them for more than two or three nights, he commits an offence entailing confession. If it is a person who is not fully ordained, but the monk has doubts about it, and he uses a sleeping place with them for more than two or three nights, he commits an offence entailing confession. If it is a person who is not fully ordained, but the monk perceives them as fully ordained, and he uses a sleeping place with them for more than two or three nights, he commits an offence entailing confession.
16If it is half roofed and half walled, he commits an offence of bad conduct. If it is a person who is fully ordained, but the monk perceives them as not fully ordained, he commits an offence of bad conduct. If it is a person who is fully ordained, but the monk has doubts about it, he commits an offence of bad conduct. If it is a person who is fully ordained, and the monk perceives them as fully ordained, there is no offence.
href=Non-offences
17There is no offence: if he stays two or three night; if he stays less than two or three nights; if, after staying for two nights, he leaves before dawn on the third night and then stays again; if it is fully roofed but not fully walled; if it is fully walled but not fully roofed; if it is mostly roofed and mostly walled; if the monk sits when the person who is not fully ordained is lying down; if the person who is not fully ordained sits when the monk is lying down; if they both sit; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
18The fifth rule, the training rule on a sleeping place together with, is finished.
