25. Cīvaradānasikkhāpada
25. Giving robe-cloth to a nun
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.1
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
On one occasion when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.2
Tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu sāvatthiyaṁ aññatarissā visikhāya piṇḍāya carati. Aññatarāpi bhikkhunī tassā visikhāya piṇḍāya carati.
a certain monk was walking for almsfood along a street in Sāvatthī, as was a certain nun.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.3
Atha kho so bhikkhu taṁ bhikkhuniṁ etadavoca—“gaccha, bhagini, amukasmiṁ okāse bhikkhā diyyatī”ti.
That monk said to that nun, “Go to such-and-such a place, sister, and you’ll get alms,”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.4
Sāpi kho evamāha—“gacchāyya, amukasmiṁ okāse bhikkhā diyyatī”ti.
and she said the same to him.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.5
Te abhiṇhadassanena sandiṭṭhā ahesuṁ.
And because they met frequently, they became friends.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.6
Tena kho pana samayena saṅghassa cīvaraṁ bhājīyati.
Just then robe-cloth belonging to the Sangha was being distributed.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.7
Atha kho sā bhikkhunī ovādaṁ gantvā yena so bhikkhu tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.
Then, after going to the instruction, that nun went to that monk and bowed.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.8
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitaṁ kho taṁ bhikkhuniṁ so bhikkhu etadavoca—“ ayaṁ me, bhagini, cīvarapaṭivīso; sādiyissasī”ti?
He then said to her, “Sister, will you accept my share of the robe-cloth?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.9
“Āmāyya, dubbalacīvarāmhī”ti.
“Yes, venerable, my robes are worn.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.10
Atha kho so bhikkhu tassā bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ adāsi.
And he gave his robe-cloth to that nun.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.11
Sopi kho bhikkhu dubbalacīvaro hoti.
As a consequence, his robes, too, became worn.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.12
Bhikkhū taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavocuṁ—“karohi dāni te, āvuso, cīvaran”ti.
Other monks said to him, “Why don’t you make a robe for yourself?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.13
Atha kho so bhikkhu bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
And he told them what had happened.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.14
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.15
“kathañhi nāma bhikkhu bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ dassatī”ti …pe…
“How could a monk give robe-cloth to a nun?” …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.16
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, bhikkhu, bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ adāsī”ti?
“Is it true, monk, that you did this?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.17
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, sir.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.18
“Ñātikā te, bhikkhu, aññātikā”ti?
“Is she a relative of yours?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.19
“Aññātikā, bhagavā”ti.
“No.”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.20
“Aññātako, moghapurisa, aññātikāya na jānāti patirūpaṁ vā appatirūpaṁ vā santaṁ vā asantaṁ vā.
“Foolish man, a man and a woman who are unrelated don’t know what’s appropriate and inappropriate, what’s good and bad, in dealing with each other.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.21
Kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, aññātikāya bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ dassasi.
And still you did this.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.22
Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.23
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.24.1
“Yo pana bhikkhu aññātikāya bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ dadeyya, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a monk gives robe-cloth to an unrelated nun, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:1.25
Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.1
Tena kho pana samayena bhikkhū kukkuccāyantā bhikkhunīnaṁ pārivattakaṁ cīvaraṁ na denti.
Once this had happened, the monks did not even give robe-cloth to the nuns in exchange, being afraid of wrongdoing.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.2
Bhikkhuniyo ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
The nuns complained and criticized them,
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.3
“kathañhi nāma ayyā amhākaṁ pārivattakaṁ cīvaraṁ na dassantī”ti.
“How can they not give us robe-cloth in exchange?”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.4
Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tāsaṁ bhikkhunīnaṁ ujjhāyantīnaṁ khiyyantīnaṁ vipācentīnaṁ.
The monks heard the complaints of those nuns
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.5
Atha kho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
and they told the Buddha.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.6
Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—
Soon afterwards the Buddha gave a teaching and addressed the monks:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.7
“anujānāmi, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ pārivattakaṁ dātuṁ.
“Monks, I allow you to give things in exchange to five kinds of people:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.8
Bhikkhussa, bhikkhuniyā, sikkhamānāya, sāmaṇerassa, sāmaṇeriyā—
monks, nuns, trainee nuns, novice monks, and novice nuns.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.9
anujānāmi, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ pārivattakaṁ dātuṁ.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.10
Evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:2.11.1
“Yo pana bhikkhu aññātikāya bhikkhuniyā cīvaraṁ dadeyya, aññatra pārivattakā, pācittiyan”ti.
‘If a monk gives robe-cloth to an unrelated nun, except in exchange, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.1
Yo panāti
A:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.2
yo yādiso …pe…
whoever …
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.3
bhikkhūti
Monk:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.4
…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.5
Aññātikā nāma
Unrelated:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.6
mātito vā pitito vā yāva sattamā pitāmahayugā asambaddhā.
anyone who is not a descendant of one’s male ancestors going back eight generations, either on the mother’s side or on the father’s side.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.7
Bhikkhunī nāma
A nun:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.8
ubhatosaṅghe upasampannā.
she has been given the full ordination by both Sanghas.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.9
Cīvaraṁ nāma
Robe-cloth:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.10
channaṁ cīvarānaṁ aññataraṁ cīvaraṁ vikappanupagaṁ pacchimaṁ.
one of the six kinds of robe-cloth, but not smaller than what can be assigned to another.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.11
Aññatra pārivattakāti
Except in exchange:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.1.12
ṭhapetvā pārivattakaṁ deti, āpatti pācittiyassa.
unless there is an exchange.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.1
Aññātikāya aññātikasaññī cīvaraṁ deti, aññatra pārivattakā, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she is unrelated and he perceives her as such, and he gives her robe-cloth, except in exchange, he commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.2
Aññātikāya vematiko cīvaraṁ deti, aññatra pārivattakā, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she is unrelated, but he is unsure of it, and he gives her robe-cloth, except in exchange, he commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.3
Aññātikāya ñātikasaññī cīvaraṁ deti, aññatra pārivattakā, āpatti pācittiyassa.
If she is unrelated, but he perceives her as related, and he gives her robe-cloth, except in exchange, he commits an offense entailing confession.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.4
Ekato upasampannāya cīvaraṁ deti, aññatra pārivattakā, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If he gives robe-cloth to a nun who is fully ordained only on one side, except in exchange, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.5
Ñātikāya aññātikasaññī, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she is related, but he perceives her as unrelated, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.6
Ñātikāya vematiko, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
If she is related, but he is unsure of it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.2.7
Ñātikāya ñātikasaññī, anāpatti.
If she is related and he perceives her as such, there is no offense.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.1
Anāpatti—
There is no offense:
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.2
ñātikāya,
if she is related;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.3
pārivattakaṁ parittena vā vipulaṁ, vipulena vā parittaṁ,
if much is exchanged with little or little is exchanged with much;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.4
bhikkhunī vissāsaṁ gaṇhāti,
if the nun takes it on trust;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.5
tāvakālikaṁ gaṇhāti,
if she borrows it;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.6
cīvaraṁ ṭhapetvā aññaṁ parikkhāraṁ deti,
if he gives any requisite apart from robe-cloth;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.7
sikkhamānāya,
if it is a trainee nun;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.8
sāmaṇeriyā,
if it is a novice nun;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.9
ummattakassa,
if he is insane;
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.10
ādikammikassāti.
if he is the first offender.
- pli-tv-bu-vb-pc25:3.3.11
Cīvaradānasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ pañcamaṁ.
The training rule on giving robe-cloth to a nun, the fifth, is finished.
