4. Jatumaṭṭhakasikkhāpada
4. Using a dildo
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena aññatarā purāṇarājorodhā bhikkhunīsu pabbajitā hoti.
At that time a woman who had previously belonged to the king’s harem had gone forth as a nun.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.3
Aññatarā bhikkhunī anabhiratiyā pīḷitā yena sā bhikkhunī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ bhikkhuniṁ etadavoca—
Another nun who was plagued by lust went to that nun and said,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.4
“rājā kho, ayye, tumhe cirāciraṁ gacchati.
“Venerable, the king only came to you at long intervals.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.5
Kathaṁ tumhe dhārethā”ti?
How did you cope?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.6
“Jatumaṭṭhakena, ayye”ti.
“With a dildo.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.7
“Kiṁ etaṁ, ayye, jatumaṭṭhakan”ti?
“What’s a dildo?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.8
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī tassā bhikkhuniyā jatumaṭṭhakaṁ ācikkhi.
That nun described a dildo to her.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.9
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī jatumaṭṭhakaṁ ādiyitvā dhovituṁ vissaritvā ekamantaṁ chaḍḍesi.
The other nun then used a dildo. But she forgot to wash it before disposing of it in a certain place.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.10
Bhikkhuniyo makkhikāhi samparikiṇṇaṁ passitvā evamāhaṁsu—
The nuns saw it covered with flies, and they said,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.11
“kassidaṁ kamman”ti?
“Who did this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.12
Sā evamāha— “mayhidaṁ kamman”ti.
“I did it,” she replied.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.13
Yā tā bhikkhuniyo appicchā …pe… tā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.14
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhunī jatumaṭṭhakaṁ ādiyissatī”ti …pe…
“How could a nun use a dildo?” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.15
“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī jatumaṭṭhakaṁ ādiyatī”ti?
“Is it true, monks, that a nun did this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.16
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.17
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked her,
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.18
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhunī jatumaṭṭhakaṁ ādiyissati.
“How could a nun use a dildo?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.19
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.20
evañca pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddisantu—
“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:1.21.1
“Jatumaṭṭhake pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun uses a dildo, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.1
Jatumaṭṭhakaṁ nāma
A dildo:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.2
jatumayaṁ kaṭṭhamayaṁ piṭṭhamayaṁ mattikāmayaṁ.
made of resin, made of wood, made of flour, made of clay.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.3
Ādiyeyyāti
Uses:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.4
samphassaṁ sādiyantī antamaso uppalapattampi muttakaraṇaṁ paveseti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
if she consents to the contact and inserts it into her vagina, even if it is just a water-lily leaf, she commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.5.1
Anāpatti—
There is no offense:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.6
ābādhapaccayā,
if she does it because she is sick;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.7
ummattikāya,
if she is insane;
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.8
ādikammikāyāti.
if she is the first offender.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4:2.9
Catutthasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
The fourth training rule is finished.
