Vinaya Pitaka - Monastic Rules

Khandaka ( and Mahāvagga) 3 - Rains Residence

  • Translated from the Pali by I.B. Horner.

1 At one time the awakened one, the Lord was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove at the squirrels’ feeding place. Now at that time (the use of) a rains-residence for monks had not come to be laid down by the Lord. So these monks walked on tour during the cold weather and the hot weather and the rains.

People looked down upon, criticised, spread it about, saying: "How can these recluses, sons of the Sakyans, walk on tour during the cold weather and the hot weather and the rains, trampling down the crops and grasses, injuring life that is one-facultied and bringing many small creatures to destruction? Shall it be that those members of other sects, whose rules are badly kept, cling to and prepare a rains-residence, shall it be that these birds, having made their nests in the tree-tops, cling to and prepare a rains-residence, while these recluses, sons of the Sakyans walk on a tour during the cold weather and the hot weather and the rains, trampling down the crops and grasses, injuring life that is one-facultied and bringing many small creatures to destruction?"

2 Monks heard these people who … spread it about. Then these monks told this matter to the Lord. Then the Lord, on this occasion, in this connection, having given reasoned talk, addressed the monks, saying: "I allow you, monks, to enter upon the rains."

Then it occurred to these monks: "Now, when should the rains be entered upon?" They told this matter to the Lord.

He said: "I allow you, monks, to enter upon the rains in the rainy season."

3 Then it occurred to these monks: "Now, how many (periods) are there for beginning the rains?" They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, there are these two (periods) for beginning the rains: the earlier and the later. The earlier may be entered upon the day after (the full moon of) Āsāḷhī, the later may be entered upon a month after (the full moon of) Āsāḷhī. These, monks, are the two (periods) for beginning the rains."

4 Now at that time the group of six monks, having entered upon the rains, walked on tour during the rains. People … spread it about, saying: "How can these recluses, sons of the Sakyans, walk on tour during the cold weather and the hot weather and the rains, trampling down the crops and grasses, injuring life that is one-facultied and bringing many small creatures to destruction? Shall it be that those members of other sects, whose rules are badly kept, cling to and prepare a rains-residence, shall it be that these birds, having made their nests in the tree-tops, cling to and prepare a rains-residence, while these recluses, sons of the Sakyans walk on a tour during the cold weather and the hot weather and the rains, trampling down the crops and grasses, injuring life that is one-facultied and bringing many small creatures to destruction?"

5 Monks heard these people who … spread it about. Those who were modest monks … spread it about, saying: "How can this group of six monks, having entered upon the rains, walk on tour during the rains?" Then these monks told this matter to the Lord. Then the Lord, on this occasion, in this connection, having given reasoned talk, addressed the monks, saying: "Monks, having entered upon the rains, but not having kept either the first three months or the last three months, one should not set out on tour. Whoever should (thus) set out, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

6 Now at that time the group of six monks did not want to enter upon the rains. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, one should not not enter upon the rains. Whoever should not enter upon (them), there is an offence of wrong-doing."

7 Now at that time the group of six monks, on a day for beginning the rains, not desiring to enter upon the rains, intentionally passed a residence by. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, on a day for beginning the rains, a residence should not be intentionally passed by one who does not desire to enter upon the rains. Whoever should pass one by, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

8 Now at that time King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha, desiring to postpone the rains, sent a messenger to the monks, saying: "What if the masters could enter upon the rains at the next full-moon day?" They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to obey kings."

9 Then the Lord, having stayed at Rājagaha for as long as he found suiting, set out on tour for Sāvatthī. Walking on tour, in due course he arrived at Sāvatthī. Then the Lord stayed there in Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove in Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time in the Kosala country a lay-follower, Udena, had had a dwelling-place built for an Order. He sent a messenger to monks, saying: "Let the revered sirs come; I want to give a gift and to hear dhamma and to see the monks."

Monks spoke thus: "It is laid down by the Lord, sir, that one should not set out on tour, having entered upon the rains and not having kept the first three months or the last three months. Let Udena, the lay-follower, wait until the monks have kept the rains; when they have finished the rains they will go. But if there is something urgent to be done, let him establish the dwelling-place in the presence of resident monks who are already there."

The lay-follower, Udena, … spread it about, saying: "How can these revered sirs, when sent for by me, not come, for I am a benefactor, a builder, a supporter of the Order?"

10Monks heard the lay-follower, Udena, as he … spread it about Then these monks told this matter to the Lord.

Then the Lord on this occasion, having given reasoned talk, addressed the monks, saying: "I allow you, monks, to go if you are sent for by seven (classes of people), and if the business can be done in seven days, but not if you are not sent for: by a monk, a nun, a probationer, a novice, a woman novice, a lay-follower, a woman lay-follower. I allow you, monks, to go if you are sent for by these (seven classes of people) and if the business can be done in seven days, but not if you are not sent for. The return should be made in seven days.

11 This is a case, monks, where a dwelling-place for an Order comes to have been built by a lay-follower. If he should send a messenger to monks, saying: ‘Let the revered sirs come, I want to give a gift and to hear dhamma and to see the monks you should go, monks’, if you are sent for and if the business can be done in seven days, but not if you are not sent for.

59 Now at that time in the Kosala country monks who had entered upon the rains in a certain residence came to be molested by beasts of prey who seized them and attacked them. They told this matter to the Lord. He said:

60 "This is a case, monks, where monks who have entered upon the rains come to be molested by beasts of prey who seize them and attack them. This is indeed a danger, and you should depart. There is no offence in cutting short the rains.

61 This is a case, monks, where monks who have entered upon the rains come to be molested by creeping things which bite them and attack them. This is indeed … in cutting short the rains.

68 Now at that time the village of certain monks who had entered upon the rains in a certain residence was removed on account of thieves. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to go to that village."

69The village was split in two. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to go where there are the more (people)."

70The majority came to be of little faith, not believing. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to go to those who have faith and are believing."

71 Now at that time in the Kosala country monks who had entered upon the rains in a certain residence did not obtain a sufficiency, as much as they needed, of coarse or of sumptuous food. They told this matter to the Lord. He said

There is no offence in cutting short the rains.

77 "This is a case, monks, where a low class woman … a grown girl … a eunuch invites a monk who has entered upon the rains … where relations invite … kings … thieves … men of abandoned life invite a monk who has entered upon the rains, saying: ‘Come, honoured sir, we will give you gold … or we will give you a daughter as wife or we will lead another wife to you’. If it then occurs to the monk: ‘The mind is called quickly-changing by the Lord … ’ … There is no offence in cutting short the rains.

78This is a case, monks, where a monk who has entered upon the rains sees a treasure without an owner. If then it occurs to the monk: ‘The mind is called quickly changing … ’ … There is no offence in cutting short the rains.

89 Now at that time a certain monk became desirous of entering on the rains in a cow-pen. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to enter on the rains in a cow-pen." The cow-pen was removed. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to go to that cow-pen."

90 Now at that time, as the beginning of the rains was approaching, a certain monk became desirous of going in a caravan. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to enter on the rains in a caravan."

91Now at that time, as the beginning of the rains was approaching, a certain monk became desirous of going in a boat. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "I allow you, monks, to enter on the rains in a boat."

92 Now at that time monks entered on the rains in hollow trees. People looked down on, criticised, spread it about, saying: "Like demon-worshippers." They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains in hollow trees. Whoever should (so) enter on them, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

93 Now at that time monks entered on the rains in forks of trees. People … spread it about, saying: "Like hunters." They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains in the forks of trees. Whoever should (so) enter on them, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

94 Now at that time monks entered on the rains in the open air. When the gods rained they ran up to the foot of trees and to the shelter of a nimb tree. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains in the open air. Whoever should (so) enter on them, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

95 Now at that time monks entered on the rains without lodgings. They suffered from cold and they suffered from heat. They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains without lodgings. Whoever should (so) enter on them, there is an offence of wrong-doing."

96 Now at that time monks entered on the rains in a charnel-house. People … spread it about, saying: "Like those who burn corpses". They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains in a charnel-house. Whoever … wrong-doing."

97 Now at that time monks entered on the rains under a sunshade. People … spread it about, saying: "Like cowherds". They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains under a sunshade. Whoever … wrong-doing."

98 Now at that time monks entered on the rains in a water-jar. People … spread it about, saying: "Like followers of other sects". They told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, you should not enter on the rains in a water-jar. Whoever … of wrong-doing."

99 Now at that time an agreement came to be made by an Order in Sāvatthī that no one should be allowed to go forth during the rains. A nephew of Visākhā, Migāra’s mother, having approached monks, asked for the going forth. Monks spoke thus: "Sir, an agreement was made by the Order that during the rains no one should be allowed to go forth. Wait, sir, until the monks have kept the rains; when they have kept the rains they will allow you to go forth." Then these monks, having kept the rains, spoke thus to the nephew of Visākhā, Migāra’s mother: "Come now, sir, go forth." He spoke thus: "Honoured sirs, if I could have gone forth, I should have been pleased. But now, I, honoured sirs, will not go forth."

100 Visākhā, Migāra’s mother … spread it about, saying: "How can the masters make an agreement to the effect that no one should be allowed to go forth during the rains? At what time should dhamma not be followed?" Monks heard Visākhā, Migāra’s mother, as she … spread it about. Then these monks told this matter to the Lord. He said: "Monks, an agreement that no one should be allowed to go forth during the rains should not be made. Whoever should make (one), there is an offence of wrong-doing."

101 Now at that time a rains-residence belonging to King Pasenadi of Kosala came to be assented to for the earlier period by the venerable Upananda, the son of the Sakyans. As he was going to that residence, he saw on the way two residences with many robes. It occurred to him: "Now, suppose I should spend the rains in these two residences? Thus would many robes accrue to me." He spent the rains in these two residences. King Pasenadi of Kosala … spread it about, saying: "How can this master Upananda, the son of the Sakyans, having assented to our rains-residence, break his word? Is not lying condemned in many a figure by the Lord and restraint from lying extolled?"

102 Monks heard King Pasenadi of Kosala as he … spread it about. Those who were modest monks … spread it about, saying: "How can the venerable Upananda, the son of the Sakyans, having assented to a rains-residence belonging to King Pasenadi of Kosala, break his word? Is not lying condemned in many a figure by the Lord and restraint from lying extolled?"

Then these monks told this matter to the Lord. Then the Lord on this occasion, having had the Order of monks convened, questioned the venerable Upananda, the son of the Sakyans, saying: "Is it true, as is said, Upananda, that you, having assented to a rains-residence belonging to King Pasenadi of Kosala, broke your word?"

"It is true, Lord." The awakened one, the Lord, rebuked him, saying:

"How can you, foolish man, having assented to a rains-residence belonging to King Pasenadi of Kosala, break your word? Foolish man, is not lying condemned in many a figure by me and restraint from lying extolled? It is not, foolish man, for pleasing those who are not (yet) pleased … " and having rebuked him, having given reasoned talk, he addressed the monks, saying:

103 "This is a case, monks, where a rains-residence comes to be assented to by a monk for the earlier period. As he is going to that residence he sees on the way two residences with many robes. It occurs to him: ‘What now if I should spend the rains in these two residences? Thus would many robes accrue to me.’ He spends the rains in these two residences. Monks, the earlier period is not valid for that monk, and also there is an offence of wrong-doing in the assent.

104 "This is a case, monks, where a rains-residence comes to be assented to by a monk for the earlier period. As he is going to that residence he carries out Observance outside it, he reaches a dwelling-place on the day after the Observance day, he prepares a lodging, he sets out drinking-water and water for washing, he sweeps a cell, and, having nothing to do, he departs that self-same day. Monks, the earlier period is not valid for that monk, and also there is an offence of wrong-doing in the assent.

105 "This is a case, monks, where a rains-residence comes to be assented to by a monk for the earlier period. As he is going to that residence he carries out Observance outside it, he reaches a dwelling-place on the day after the Observance day, he prepares a lodging, he sets out drinking-water and water for washing, he sweeps a cell, and, having something to do, he departs that self-same day. Monks, the earlier period is not valid for that monk, and also there is an offence of wrong-doing in the assent.

106 "This is a case, monks, … and, having nothing to do, he departs, having spent two or three days. Monks, … in the assent.

107 "This is a case, monks, … and, having something to do he departs, having spent two or three days. Monks, … in the assent.

108 "This is a case, monks, … and, having stayed two or three days, he departs on some business that can be done in seven days. But he passes those seven days outside. Monks, … in the assent.

109 "This is a case, monks, … and, having stayed two or three days, he departs on some business that can be done in seven days. He returns within seven days. Monks, the earlier period is valid for that monk, and there is no offence in the assent.

110 "This is a case, monks, … and having something to do before the Invitation, he departs for seven days. Monks, whether that monk returns or whether he does not return to that residence, the earlier period is valid for that monk, and also there is no offence in the assent.

111 - "This is a case, monks, where a rains-residence comes to be assented to by a monk for the earlier period. Having arrived at that residence he carries out the Observance, he reaches a dwelling-place on the day after the Observance day …

112-123 "This is a case, monks, where a rains-residence comes to be assented to by a monk for the later period. As he is going to that residence he carries out Observance outside it … the whole passage is identical with verses 114-110 above but; for earlier period read later period; for before the Invitation read before the komudī cātumāsinī … and also there is no offence in the assent."

The Third Section: that on beginning the Rains

124This is its key:

125 To enter on (the rains), and just when? how many?
and during the rains,
and they did not want to, intentionally,
to postpone, a lay-follower,

126Ill, and a mother, a father,
and a brother, then a relation,
a person living with monks, a dwelling-place,
and also beasts of prey, creeping things,

127 And so thieves, and demons, burnt,
and in regard to both,
carried away by water, was removed,
and the majority, benefactors,

128And about coarse and sumptuous (foods),
beneficial medicines, an attendant,
a woman, a low class woman,
and a grown girl, a eunuch, and about a relation,

129Kings, thieves, men of abandoned life,
a treasure, schisms, and by what is eightfold,
a cow-pen, and a caravan,
and a boat, in a hollow, and in a fork,

130A rains-residence in the open air,
and about one who had no lodgings,
a charnel-house, and under a sunshade,
and these went upon (the rains) in a water-jar,

131An agreement, having assented,
and Observance days outside,
the earlier, the later,
one should combine them after the same fashion,

132He departs having nothing to do,
and likewise because he has something to do,
spending two or three days,

133and on business that can be done in seven days,
And then going away for seven days,
whether he should return or should not come back,
In the key to the items the order
should observe the woven way.

134 In this Chapter there are fifty-two items.
