He doesn\u2019t employ improper solicitation for the sake of a robe. He doesn\u2019t worry if he doesn\u2019t get a robe. And if he does get a robe, he uses it untied, uninfatuated, unattached, seeing the drawback, and understanding the escape. Kassapa is content with any kind of almsfood \u2026 Kassapa is content with any kind of lodging \u2026 Kassapa is content with any kind of medicines and supplies for the sick \u2026 So you should train like this: \u2018We will be content with any kind of robe, and praise such contentment. We won\u2019t employ improper solicitation for the sake of a robe. We won\u2019t worry if we don\u2019t get a robe. And if we do get a robe, we\u2019ll use it untied, uninfatuated, unattached, seeing the drawback, and understanding the escape.\u2019 (All should be told in full the same way.) \u2018We will be content with any kind of almsfood \u2026\u2019 \u2018We will be content with any kind of lodging \u2026\u2019 \u2018We will be content with any kind of medicines and supplies for the sick \u2026\u2019 That\u2019s how you should train.
