54. The training rule on disrespect 54. Anādariyasikkhāpada

Origin story

At one time when the Buddha was staying at Kosambī in Ghosita’s Monastery, Tena samayena buddho bhagavā kosambiyaṁ viharati ghositārāme. Venerable Channa was misbehaving. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā channo anācāraṁ ācarati. The monks would tell him, Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—“Channa, don’t do that; “māvuso channa, evarūpaṁ akāsi. it’s not allowable,” Netaṁ kappatī”ti. and he just did it again out of disrespect. So anādariyaṁ paṭicca karotiyeva.

The monks of few desires complained and criticized him, Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—“How can Venerable Channa act disrespectfully?” … “kathañhi nāma āyasmā channo anādariyaṁ karissatī”ti …pe… “Is it true, Channa, that you do this?” “saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, channa, anādariyaṁ karosī”ti?

“It’s true, sir.” “Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

The Buddha rebuked him … Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe… “Foolish man, how can you do this? kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, anādariyaṁ karissasi. This will affect people’s confidence …” … Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe… “And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this: evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—

Final ruling

‘If a monk is disrespectful, he commits an offense entailing confession.’” “Anādariye pācittiyan”ti.
