25. Borrowing a robe
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena aññatarā bhikkhunī piṇḍāya caritvā allacīvaraṁ pattharitvā vihāraṁ pāvisi.
there was a nun who, after walking for almsfood, spread out her damp robe and entered her dwelling.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.3
Aññatarā bhikkhunī taṁ cīvaraṁ pārupitvā gāmaṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.
Another nun put on that robe and went to the village for alms.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.4
Sā nikkhamitvā bhikkhuniyo pucchi—
Soon afterwards the first nun came out and asked the nuns,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.5
“apāyye, mayhaṁ cīvaraṁ passeyyāthā”ti?
“Venerables, have you seen my robe?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.6
Bhikkhuniyo tassā bhikkhuniyā etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
The nuns told her what had happened.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.7
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
She then complained and criticized the other nun,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.8
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhunī mayhaṁ cīvaraṁ anāpucchā pārupissatī”ti.
“How could a nun put on my robe without asking permission?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.9
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī bhikkhunīnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
She told the nuns what had happened,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.10
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
and the nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.11
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhunī bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ anāpucchā pārupissatī”ti …pe…
“How could a nun put on another nun’s robe without asking permission?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.12
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ anāpucchā pārupatī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that a nun did this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.13
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.14
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.15
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ anāpucchā pārupissati.
“How could a nun do this?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.16
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.17
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc25:1.18.1
“Yā pana bhikkhunī cīvarasaṅkamanīyaṁ dhāreyya, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun wears a robe taken on loan, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
