107. vassūpanāyikānujānanā (Mv.III.1.1)
The Allowance for Entering for the Rains [BMC]
| [205] tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. | Now at that time the Buddha, the Blessed One, was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the Squirrels’ Feeding Ground. |
| tena kho pana samayena bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ vassāvāso appaññatto hoti. | And at that time, the Rains-residence had not been laid down by the Blessed One for the monks. |
| tedha bhikkhū hemantampi gimhampi vassampi cārikaṁ caranti. | So at that time, the monks would go on walking tours in the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season. |
| (Mv.III.1.2) manussā ujjhāyanti khīyanti vipācenti kathaṁ hi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā hemantampi gimhampi vassampi cārikaṁ carissanti haritāni tiṇāni sammaddantā ekindriyaṁ jīvaṁ viheṭhentā bahū khuddake pāṇe saṅghātaṁ āpādentā | People criticized and complained and spread it about, “How can the Sakyan-son contemplatives go on walking tours in the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season—crushing crops and grasses, harming one-facultied life, and bringing many small creatures to destruction? |
| ime hi nāma aññatitthiyā paribbājakā durakkhātadhammā vassāvāsaṁ alliyissanti saṅkāsayissanti ime hi nāma sakuntakā rukkhaggesu kulāvakāni karitvā vassāvāsaṁ alliyissanti saṅkāsayissanti | “Even these wanderers of other sects with poorly-expounded Dhammas settle down and stay put for the Rains-residence. Even the little birds, having made nests in the tops of trees, settle down and stay put for the Rains-residence. |
| ime pana samaṇā sakyaputtiyā hemantampi gimhampi vassampi cārikaṁ caranti haritāni tiṇāni sammaddantā ekindriyaṁ jīvaṁ viheṭhentā bahū khuddake pāṇe saṅghātaṁ āpādentāti. | “But these Sakyan-son contemplatives go on walking tours in the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season—crushing crops and grasses, harming one-facultied life, and bringing many small creatures to destruction.” |
| (Mv.III.1.3) assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khīyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ. | The monks heard the people criticizing and complaining and spreading it about. |
| athakho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | Then the monks reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| athakho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi | Then the Blessed One, having given a Dhamma talk with regard to this cause, to this incident, addressed the monks: |
| anujānāmi bhikkhave vassaṁ upagantunti. | “Monks, I allow that you enter for the Rains.” |
| (Mv.III.2.1) [206] athakho bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi kadā nu kho vassaṁ upagantabbanti. | Then the thought occurred to the monks, “When should the Rains be entered?” |
| bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | They reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| anujānāmi bhikkhave vassāne vassaṁ upagantunti. | “Monks, I allow that you enter for the Rains during the rainy season.” |
| (Mv.III.2.2) athakho bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi kati nu kho vassūpanāyikāti. | Then the thought occurred to the monks, “How many beginnings for the Rains are there?” |
| bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | They reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| dvemā bhikkhave vassūpanāyikā purimikā pacchimikā aparajjugatāya āsāḷhiyā purimikā upagantabbā māsagatāya āsāḷhiyā pacchimikā upagantabbā imā kho bhikkhave dve vassūpanāyikāti. | “Monks, there are these two beginnings for the Rains: the earlier and the later. The earlier should be entered the day after (the full moon of ) Asāḷhī, the later should be entered a month after (the full moon of) Asāḷhī. These are the two beginnings for the Rains.” [BMC: 1 2] |
108. vassāne cārikāpaṭikkhepādi (Mv.III.3.1)
The Prohibition Against Going on Tour During the Rains, etc. [BMC]
| [207] tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagantvā antarāvassaṁ cārikaṁ caranti. | Now at that time the Group-of-six monks, having entered for the Rains, went on a walking tour during the Rains. |
| manussā tatheva ujjhāyanti khīyanti vipācenti kathaṁ hi nāma samaṇā sakyaputtiyā hemantampi gimhampi vassampi cārikaṁ carissanti haritāni tiṇāni sammaddantā ekindriyaṁ jīvaṁ viheṭhentā bahū khuddake pāṇe saṅghātaṁ āpādentā | Because of that, people criticized and complained and spread it about, “How can the Sakyan-son contemplatives go on walking tours in the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season—crushing crops and grasses, harming one-facultied life, bringing many small creatures to destruction? |
| ime hi nāma aññatitthiyā durakkhātadhammā vassāvāsaṁ alliyissanti saṅkāsayissanti ime hi nāma sakuntakā rukkhaggesu kulāvakāni karitvā vassāvāsaṁ alliyissanti saṅkāsayissanti | “Even these wanderers of other religions with poorly-expounded Dhammas stick to one place and stay put for the Rains-residence. Even the little birds, having made nests in the tops of trees stick to one place and stay put for the Rains-residence. |
| ime pana samaṇā sakyaputtiyā hemantampi gimhampi vassampi cārikaṁ caranti haritāni tiṇāni sammaddantā ekindriyaṁ jīvaṁ viheṭhentā bahū khuddake pāṇe saṅghātaṁ āpādentāti. | “But these Sakyan-son contemplatives go on walking tours in the hot season, the cold season, and the rainy season—crushing crops and grasses, harming one-facultied life, bringing many small creatures to destruction.” |
| (Mv.III.3.2) assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ manussānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khīyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ. | The monks heard the people criticizing and complaining and spreading it about. |
| ye te bhikkhū appicchā te ujjhāyanti khīyanti vipācenti kathaṁ hi nāma chabbaggiyā bhikkhū vassaṁ upagantvā antarāvassaṁ cārikaṁ carissantīti. | Those monks who were modest criticized and complained and spread it about: “How can the Group-of-six monks, having entered for the Rains, go on a walking tour during the Rains?” |
| athakho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | Then the monks reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| athakho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi | Then the Blessed One, having given a Dhamma talk with regard to this cause, to this incident, addressed the monks: |
| na bhikkhave vassaṁ upagantvā purimaṁ vā temāsaṁ pacchimaṁ vā temāsaṁ avasitvā cārikā pakkamitabbā yo pakkameyya āpatti dukkaṭassāti. | “Monks, having entered for the Rains, one should not set out on a walking tour without having stayed either the first three months or the last three months. Whoever should set out: an offense of wrong doing.” |
| (Mv.III.4.1) [208] tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū na icchanti vassaṁ upagantuṁ. | Now at that time the Group-of-six monks didn’t want to enter for the Rains. |
| bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | They reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| na bhikkhave vassaṁ na upagantabbaṁ yo na upagaccheyya āpatti dukkaṭassāti. | “Monks, one should not not enter for the Rains. Whoever does not enter: an offense of wrong doing.” |
| (Mv.III.4.2) tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū tadahuvassūpanāyikāya vassaṁ anupagantukāmā sañcicca āvāsaṁ atikkamanti. | Now at that time the Group-of-six monks, on a day for beginning the Rains, intentionally passed by a residence not desiring to enter for the Rains. |
| bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | They reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| na bhikkhave tadahuvassūpanāyikāya vassaṁ anupagantukāmena sañcicca āvāso atikkamitabbo yo atikkameyya āpatti dukkaṭassāti. | “Monks, on a day for beginning the Rains, one should not intentionally pass by a residence not desiring to enter for the Rains. Whoever should pass by: an offense of wrong doing.” [BMC] |
| (Mv.III.4.3) [209] tena kho pana samayena rājā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro vassaṁ ukkaḍḍhitukāmo bhikkhūnaṁ santike dūtaṁ pāhesi yadi panayyā āgame juṇhe vassaṁ upagaccheyyunti. | Now at that time King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha, wanting to delay the Rains1, sent a messenger to the presence of the monks, (saying,) “When the next bright fortnight comes, may the masters enter for the Rains.”
1. In the Buddha’s time, kings would determine the lunar calendar, making it easier to coordinate agricultural work or to keep the calendar in line with the actual seasons and avoid disagreements that would arise over this matter. |
|
vassanāmakaṁ paṭhamamāsaṁ ukkaḍḍhitukāmo, sāvaṇamāsaṁ akatvā puna āsāḷhīmāsameva kattukāmoti attho. āgame juṇheti āgame māseti attho. |
Wanting to delay the first month of the Rains; desiring not to make (the next month) the month of Sāvaṇā, but to make it that very month of Āsāḷha again. “The next bright fortnight”: That means the next month. |
| bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | They reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| anujānāmi bhikkhave rājūnaṁ anuvattitunti. | “Monks, I allow that kings be complied with.” [BMC] |
|
anujānāmi bhikkhave rājūnaṁ anuvattitunti ettha vassukkaḍḍhane bhikkhūnaṁ kāci parihāni nāma natthīti anuvattituṁ anuññātaṁ, tasmā aññasmimpi dhammike kamme anuvattitabbaṁ. adhammike pana na kassaci anuvattitabbaṁ. |
“Monks, I allow that kings be complied with”: (The Buddha) allowed (the king) to be complied with, (thinking,) “In this case—delaying the Rains—there is no harm for the monks.” Thus in the case of another action [or: transaction] in line with the Dhamma, (a king) should also be complied with. But in the case it is not in line with the Dhamma, no one should be complied with. |
109. sattāhakaraṇīyānujānanā (Mv.III.5.1)
The Allowance for Seven-say Business [BMC]
| [210] athakho bhagavā rājagahe yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā yena sāvatthī tena cārikaṁ pakkāmi anupubbena cārikaṁ caramāno yena sāvatthī tadavasari. | Then the Blessed One, having stayed at Rājagaha as long as he liked, set out on a wandering tour toward Sāvatthī, and traveling by stages, arrived at Sāvatthī. |
| tatra sudaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. | There in Sāvatthī he stayed at Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. |
| tena kho pana samayena kosalesu janapadesu udenena upāsakena saṅghaṁ uddissa vihāro kārāpito hoti. | Now at that time a dwelling dedicated to the Saṅgha had been built by Udena the lay-follower in the Kosalan countryside. |
| so bhikkhūnaṁ santike dūtaṁ pāheti āgacchantu bhadantā icchāmi dānañca dātuṁ dhammañca sotuṁ bhikkhū ca passitunti. | He sent a messenger to the presence of the monks, (saying,) “May the reverend ones come; I want to give a gift, to hear the Dhamma, to see the monks.” |
| (Mv.III.5.2) bhikkhū evamāhaṁsu bhagavatā āvuso paññattaṁ na vassaṁ upagantvā purimaṁ vā temāsaṁ pacchimaṁ vā temāsaṁ avasitvā cārikā pakkamitabbāti | The monks said, “Friend, it has been laid down by the Blessed One that, having entered for the Rains, one should not set out on a walking tour without having stayed either the first three months or the last three months. |
| āgametu udeno upāsako yāva bhikkhū vassaṁ vasanti vassaṁ vutthā gamissanti sace panassa accāyikaṁ karaṇīyaṁ tattheva āvāsikānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ santike vihāraṁ patiṭṭhāpetūti. | “May Udena the lay-follower wait. When the monks, who are staying for the Rains, have finished staying for the Rains, they will go. But if it’s an urgent matter, he may he build the residence in the presence of the resident monks there.” |
| (Mv.III.5.3) udeno upāsako ujjhāyati khīyati vipāceti kathaṁ hi nāma bhadantā mayā pahite na āgacchissanti ahaṁ hi dāyako kārako saṅghupaṭṭhākoti. | Udena the lay-follower criticized and complained and spread it about, “How can the reverend ones not come when I have sent for them? I’m a donor, a builder, and a supporter of the Saṅgha!” |
| assosuṁ kho bhikkhū udenassa upāsakassa ujjhāyantassa khīyantassa vipācentassa. | The monks heard Udena the lay-follower criticizing and complaining and spreading it about. |
| athakho te bhikkhū bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ. | Then the monks reported the matter to the Blessed One. |
| (Mv.III.5.4) athakho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi | Then the Blessed One, having given a Dhamma talk with regard to this cause, to this incident, addressed the monks: |
| anujānāmi bhikkhave sattannaṁ sattāhakaraṇīyena pahite gantuṁ na tveva appahite bhikkhussa bhikkhuniyā sikkhamānāya sāmaṇerassa sāmaṇeriyā upāsakassa upāsikāya | “Monks, I allow you to go for seven-day business when sent for by seven (classes of people) but not if not sent for: a monk, a bhikkhunī, a female trainee, a novice, a female novice, a male lay follower, a female lay follower. |
| anujānāmi bhikkhave imesaṁ sattannaṁ sattāhakaraṇīyena pahite gantuṁ na tveva appahite | “I allow you to go for seven-day business when sent for by these seven (classes of people), but not if not sent for. |

| so ce bhikkhūnaṁ santike dūtaṁ pahiṇeyya āgacchantu bhadantā icchāmi dānañca dātuṁ dhammañca sotuṁ bhikkhū ca passitunti. | “If he should send a messenger to the presence of the monks, (saying,) ‘May the reverend ones please come; I want to give a gift, to hear the Dhamma, to see the monks,’ |
