7. Āmakadhaññasikkhāpada

The training rule on raw grain

1.1

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

1.2

Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhuniyo sassakāle āmakadhaññaṁ viññāpetvā nagaraṁ atiharanti dvāraṭṭhāne—

it was the harvest season. At that time the nuns had asked for raw grain, which they then carried to town. At the town gate they were detained and told,

1.3

“dethāyye, bhāgan”ti.

“Venerables, give a share.”

1.4

Palibundhetvā muñciṁsu.

After being released,

1.5

Atha kho tā bhikkhuniyo upassayaṁ gantvā bhikkhunīnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.

they went to the nuns’ dwelling place and told the nuns what had happened.

1.6

Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—

The nuns of few desires complained and criticized them,

1.7

“kathañhi nāma bhikkhuniyo āmakadhaññaṁ viññāpessantī”ti …pe…

“How could nuns ask for raw grain?” …

1.8

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo āmakadhaññaṁ viññāpentī”ti?

“Is it true, monks, that nuns did this?”

1.9

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

“It’s true, Sir.”

1.10

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

The Buddha rebuked them,

1.11

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo āmakadhaññaṁ viññāpessanti.

“How could nuns do this?

1.12

Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…

This will affect people’s confidence …” …

1.13

evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—

“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

1.14.1

“Yā pana bhikkhunī āmakadhaññaṁ viññatvā vā viññāpetvā vā bhajjitvā vā bhajjāpetvā vā koṭṭetvā vā koṭṭāpetvā vā pacitvā vā pacāpetvā vā bhuñjeyya, pācittiyan”ti.

‘If a nun asks for or has someone else ask for raw grain, or she roasts it or has it roasted, or she pounds it or has it pounded, or she cooks it or has it cooked, and she then eats it, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
