Now at that time a sheath of felt 2 had come into the possession of the Samgha.\nThey told this matter to the Blessed One.\n'I allow you, O Bhikkhus, a sheath.'\nThe Bhikkhus considered whether a sheath was a thing which each one might keep for himself, or a thing which ought to be handed over from time to time by one Bhikkhu to another.'\n'A sheath, O Bhikkhus, is neither to be appropriated nor to be handed over 1.'\nNow at that time the Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus used to eat lying on decorated divans.\nPeople murmured, &c saying, 'Like those still living in the pleasures of the world.'\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, to eat lying on decorated divans 2. Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata.'\nNow at that time a certain Bhikkhu was sick, and when eating he was not able to hold his bowl in his hand.\n'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a stand for the bowl 3.'\nNow at that time the Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus used to eat out of one dish, to drink out of one vessel, and to lie on one bed, one coverlet, or one mat 4.\nThe people murmured, &c. . . . .\n'You are not, O Bhikkhus, [to do any of these things.] Whosoever does so, shall be guilty of a dukkata.'\n116:2 Namatakam. See V, 11, 1.\n117:1 Na adhitth\u00e2tabbam na vikappetabbam. That is, it is always to be kept as common property of the Samgha (Samghika). See Mah\u00e2vagga VIII, 20, 2, where the same expressions occur.\n117:2 \u00c2sittaktlpadh\u00e2nam n\u00e2ma tamba-lohena v\u00e2 ragatena v\u00e2 kat\u00e2ya pel\u00e2ya (MS. bel\u00e2ya) etam adhivakanam. The use of an ubhato-lohitak\u00fbpadh\u00e2nam is condemned, among other things of a like kind, in the Magghima S\u00eela, \u00a7 5 (Rh. D.'s 'Buddhist Suttas,' p. 193), and above, Mah\u00e2vagga V, 10, 2.\n117:3 Malorik\u00e2 ti dand\u00e2dh\u00e2rako vukkati.

'Sitting on one seat' is there added to the list.","title":"SBE 20: Fifth Khandhaka: Chapter 19","type":"page"}
