60. The training rule on hiding robes 60. Cīvaraapanidhānasikkhāpada

Origin story

At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. On one occasion when the monks from the group of seventeen had not put away their requisites, Tena kho pana samayena sattarasavaggiyā bhikkhū asannihitaparikkhārā honti. the monks from the group of six hid their bowls and robes. Chabbaggiyā bhikkhū sattarasavaggiyānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ pattampi cīvarampi apanidhenti. The monks from the group of seventeen said to them, Sattarasavaggiyā bhikkhū chabbaggiye bhikkhū etadavocuṁ—“Give us our bowls and robes.” “dethāvuso, amhākaṁ pattampi cīvarampī”ti. The monks from the group of six laughed, but the monks from the group of seventeen cried. Chabbaggiyā bhikkhū hasanti, te rodanti.

The monks asked them, Bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu—“Why are you crying?” “kissa tumhe, āvuso, rodathā”ti?

“’Cause the monks from the group of six have hidden our bowls and robes.” “Ime, āvuso, chabbaggiyā bhikkhū amhākaṁ pattampi cīvarampi apanidhentī”ti.

The monks of few desires complained and criticized them, Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—“How could the monks from the group of six hide the bowls and robes of other monks?” … “kathañhi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū bhikkhūnaṁ pattampi cīvarampi apanidhessantī”ti …pe… “Is it true, monks, that you did this?” “saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, bhikkhūnaṁ pattampi cīvarampi apanidhethā”ti?

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

The Buddha rebuked them … Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe… “Foolish men, how could you do this? kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, bhikkhūnaṁ pattampi cīvarampi apanidhessatha. This will affect people’s confidence …” … Netaṁ, moghapurisā, 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 hides a monk’s bowl, robe, sitting mat, needle case, or belt, or he has it hidden, even just for a laugh, he commits an offense entailing confession.’” “Yo pana bhikkhu bhikkhussa pattaṁ vā cīvaraṁ vā nisīdanaṁ vā sūcigharaṁ vā kāyabandhanaṁ vā apanidheyya vā apanidhāpeyya vā, antamaso hasāpekkhopi, pācittiyan”ti.
