28. PattasaññīpaṭiggahaṇasikkhāpadaNot receiving with attention on the almsbowl
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū tahaṁ tahaṁ olokentā piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhanti, ākirantepi atikkantepi na jānanti …pe….
atikkantepi → atikkamantepi (bj) | atikkantepi → atikkantepi (bj: machasaṁ) | atikkantepi → atikkamantepi (cck: sī.) | atikkante → atikkamante A, atikkante C. (pts note)At that time the monks from the group of six were receiving almsfood while looking here and there, and they did not know whether people were still giving or whether they had received too much. …
“Pattasaññī piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggahessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.“‘I will receive almsfood with attention on the almsbowl,’ this is how you should train.”
Pattasaññinā piṇḍapāto paṭiggahetabbo.Almsfood is to be received with attention on the bowl. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca tahaṁ tahaṁ olokento piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhāti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If a monk, out of disrespect, receives almsfood while looking here and there, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Anāpatti—There is no offense: asañcicca …pe…if it is unintentional; ādikammikassāti.if he is the first offender.
Aṭṭhamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.The eighth training rule is finished.
