At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhuniyo anuvassaṁ vuṭṭhāpenti, upassayo na sammati.
At that time the nuns were giving full admission every year, and the nunnery did not have sufficient capacity.

“How can the nuns give full admission every year, when the nunnery doesn’t have sufficient capacity?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.5
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.
The nuns heard the complaints of those people.
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.6

“Is it true, monks, that the nuns do this?”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.9
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.10
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked them …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.11
kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, bhikkhuniyo anuvassaṁ vuṭṭhāpessanti.
“How can the nuns do this?
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.12
Netaṁ, bhikkhave, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.13

“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:
- pli-tv-bi-vb-pc82:1.14.1
“Yā pana bhikkhunī anuvassaṁ vuṭṭhāpeyya, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a nun gives full admission every year, she commits an offense entailing confession.’”
