1. Now the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa addressed the Bhikkhus, and said: 'Once I was travelling along the road from 笔腻惫腻 to 碍耻蝉颈苍腻谤腻 with a great company of the Bhikkhus, with about five hundred Bhikkhus. And I left the high road and sat myself down at the foot of a certain tree.

'Just at that time a certain naked ascetic (腻箩墨惫补办补), who had picked up a 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补^[2] flower in 碍耻蝉颈苍腻谤腻, was coming along the road towards 笔腻惫腻. And I saw him coming in the distance, and on seeing I said to him:

'"O, friend! surely thou knowest our Master?"

'"Yea, friend, I know him. This day the 厂补尘补峁嘺 Gotama has been dead a week. That is how I obtained this 惭补苍诲腻谤补惫补 flower."'

'Then, Sirs, of those of the Bhikkhus who were not yet free from their passions, some stretched out their arms and wept; and some fell headlong on the ground; and some reeled to and fro in anguish at the thought: "Too soon has the Blessed One died! Too soon has the Happy One passed away! Too soon has the Light gone out in the world!"'

'But those of the Bhikkhus who were free from the passions (the Arahats) bore their grief, collected and composed at the thought: "Impermanent are all component things. How is it possible [that they should not be dissolved]?"

'Then I, Sirs, spake thus to the Bhikkhus: "Enough, Sirs! Weep not, neither lament! Has not the Blessed One already declared to us that it is the very nature of all things near and dear unto us that we must divide ourselves from them, leave them, sever ourselves from them? How then, Sirs, can this be possible鈥攖hat whereas anything whatever born, brought into being and organised, contains within itself the inherent necessity of dissolution鈥攈ow then can this be possible that such a being should not be dissolved? No such condition can exist!"

'Then at that time^[3], Sirs, one Subhadda, who had gone out from the world in his old age, was seated there in the company of Bhikkhus. And Subhadda, the late-received one, said to the Bhikkhus: "Enough, Sirs! Weep not, neither lament! We are well rid of the great 厂补尘补峁嘺. We used to be annoyed by being told, 'This beseems you, this beseems you not.' But now we shall be able to do whatever we like; and what we do not like, that we shall not have to do^[3]."

'Come, Sirs, let us chant together the Dhamma and the Vinaya before what is not Dhamma is spread abroad, and what is Dhamma is put aside; before what is not Vinaya is spread abroad, and what is Vinaya is put aside; before those who argue against the Dhamma become powerful, and those who hold to the Dhamma become weak; before those who argue against the Vinaya become powerful, and those who hold to the Vinaya become weak!'

2. 'Let then the venerable Thera choose out Bhikkhus.'

Then the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa chose out five hundred Arahats less one. And the Bhikkhus said to the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa: 'Lord, this venerable one, 膧苍补苍诲补, although he have not yet attained [to 狈颈谤惫腻峁嘺], yet is he incapable of falling into error through partiality, or malice, or stupidity, or fear, and thoroughly have the Dhamma and the Vinaya been learnt by him from the Blessed One himself. Therefore let our Lord choose the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补. And the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa chose also the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补.'

3. Then it occurred to the Thera Bhikkhus: 'In what place shall we now chant over together the Dhamma and the Vinaya?' And it occurred to the Thera Bhikkhus: 'In 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 is alms plentiful, and there is abundance of lodging-places. What, now, if we were to spend the rainy season at 搁腻箩补驳补丑补, and chant the Dhamma and the Vinaya together there: and if no other Bhikkhus were to go up to 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 for the rainy season^[4]?'

4. Then the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa laid the resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. If the time seems meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, let the 厂补峁僩丑补 appoint that these five hundred Bhikkhus take up their residence during the rainy season at 搁腻箩补驳补丑补, to chant over together the Dhamma and the Vinaya, and that no other Bhikkhus go up to 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 for the rainy season. This is the resolution. Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear. The 厂补峁僩丑补 appoints accordingly. Whosoever of the venerable ones approves thereof, let him keep silence. Whosoever approves not thereof, let him speak. The 厂补峁僩丑补 has appointed accordingly. Therefore is it silent. Thus do I understand.'

5. So the Thera Bhikkhus went up to 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 to chant over together the Dhamma and the Vinaya. And the Thera Bhikkhus thought: 'The Blessed One has spoken in praise of the repair of dilapidations. Let us, then, during the first month of the rainy season repair such dilapidations, and during the middle month let us chant over the Dhamma and the Vinaya together.' And during the first month they repaired dilapidation.

6. And the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补鈥攖hinking, 'To-morrow is the assembly, now it beseems me not to go into the assembly while I am still only on the way (towards Arahatship)'鈥攕pent the whole night with mind alert. And at the close of the night, intending to lie dawn, he inclined his body, but before his head reached the pillow, and while his feet were still far from the ground, in the interval he became free from attachment to the world, and his heart was emancipated from the 膧蝉补惫补蝉 (that is to say, from sensuality, individuality, delusion, and ignorance)^[5].

7. And the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa laid the resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'If the time seem meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, I will question 鲍辫腻濒颈 concerning the Vinaya.' And the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈 laid a resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. If the time seems meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, I, when questioned by the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa, will give reply.'

Then the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa said to the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈: 'Venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈, where was the first 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补 promulgated?'

'In 痴别蝉腻濒墨, Sir.'

'Concerning whom was it spoken?'

'Concerning Sudinna, the son of Kalanda.'

'In regard to what matter?'

'Sexual intercourse.'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈 as to the matter, as to the occasion, as to the individual concerned, as to the (principal) rule, as to the sub-rule^[6], as to who would be guilty, and as to who would be innocent^[7], of the first 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补.

'Again, venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈, where was the second 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补 promulgated?'

'At 搁腻箩补驳补丑补, Sir.'

'Concerning whom was it spoken?'

'Dhaniya, the potter's son.'

'In regard to what matter?'

'The taking of that which had not been given^[8].'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈 as to the matter, and as to the occasion, and as to the individual concerned, and as to the (principal) rule, and as to the sub-rule, and as to who would be guilty, and as to who would be innocent of the second 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补.

'Again, venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈, where was the third 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补 promulgated?'

'At 痴别蝉腻濒墨, Sir.'

'Concerning whom was it spoken?'

'A number of Bhikkhus.'

'In regard to what matter?'

'Human beings^[9].'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈 as to [all the particulars, as before] of the third 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补.

'Again, venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈, where was the fourth 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补 promulgated?'

'At 痴别蝉腻濒墨, Sir.'

'Concerning whom was it spoken?'

'The Bhikkhus dwelling on the banks of the 痴补驳驳耻尘耻诲腻 river.'

'In regard to what matter?'

'Superhuman conditions.'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 鲍辫腻濒颈 as to [all the particulars, as before] of the fourth 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补. And in like manner did he question him through both the Vinayas^[10]; and as he was successively asked, so did 鲍辫腻濒颈 make reply.

8. Then the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa laid a resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. If the time seems meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, I would question 膧苍补苍诲补 concerning the Dhamma.'

And the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 laid a resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. If the time seems meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, I, as questioned by the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa, will give reply.'

And the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa said to the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补: 'Where, venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, was the 叠谤补丑尘补箩腻濒补 spoken?'

'On the way, Sir, between 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 and Nalanda, at the royal rest-house at 础尘产补濒补峁�峁�丑颈办腻^[11].'

'Concerning whom was it spoken?'

'Suppiya, the wandering ascetic, and Brahmadatta, the young Br膩hman.'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 as to the occasion of the 叠谤补丑尘补箩腻濒补, and as to the individuals concerning whom it was spoken.

'And again, venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, where was the 厂腻尘补帽帽补-辫丑补濒补 spoken?'

'At 搁腻箩补驳补丑补, Sir; in 闯墨惫补办补's Mango Grove.'

'And with whom was it spoken?'

'With 础箩腻迟补蝉补迟迟耻, the son of the Vedeh墨.'

Thus did the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa question the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 as to the occasion of the 厂腻尘补帽帽补-phala, and as to the individual concerned. And in like manner did he question him through the five 狈颈办腻测补蝉, and as he was successively asked, so did 膧苍补苍诲补 make reply.

9. Then the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 spake thus to the Thera Bhikkhus: 'The Blessed One, Sirs, at the time of his passing away, spake thus to me "When I am gone, 膧苍补苍诲补, let the 厂补峁僩丑补, if it should so wish, revoke all the lesser and minor precepts^[12]."'

'Did you then, venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, ask the Blessed One which were the lesser and minor precepts?'

'No, Sirs.'

Some Theras then said that all the rules save the four 笔腻谤腻箩颈办补s; others that all save those and the thirteen Sa峁僩h膩disesas; others that all save those and the two Aniyatas; others that all save those and the thirty Nissaggiyas; others that all save those and the ninety-two 笔腻肠颈迟迟颈测补蝉; others that all save those and the four 笔腻峁璱诲别蝉补苍颈测补蝉 were lesser and minor precepts.

Then the venerable 惭补丑腻 Kassapa laid a resolution before the 厂补峁僩丑补: 'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. There are certain of our precepts which relate to matters in which the laity are concerned. Now the laity know of us that "such and such things are proper for you 厂补尘补峁嘺s who are Sakyaputtiyas, and such and such things are not." If we were to revoke the lesser and minor precepts, it will be said to us: "A set of precepts was laid down for his disciples by the 厂补尘补峁嘺 Gotama to endure until the smoke should rise from his funeral pyre^[13]. So long as their teacher remained with these men, so long did they train themselves in the precepts. Since their teacher has passed away from them, no longer do they now train themselves in the precepts.'

'If the time seems meet to the 厂补峁僩丑补, not ordaining what has not been ordained, and not revoking what has been ordained, let it take upon itself and ever direct itself in the precepts according as they have been laid down. This is the resolution.

'Let the venerable 厂补峁僩丑补 hear me. [These things being so^[14]] the 厂补峁僩丑补 takes upon itself the precepts according as they have been laid down. Whosoever of the venerable ones approves thereof, let him keep silence. Whosoever approves not thereof, let him speak. The 厂补峁僩丑补 has taken upon itself the precepts according as they were laid down. Therefore does it keep silence. Thus do I understand.'

10. Now the Thera Bhikkhus said to the venerable

膧苍补苍诲补: 'That was ill done by thee, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, in that thou didst not ask the Blessed One which were the lesser and minor precepts. Confess thy fault.'

'Through forgetfulness was it, Sirs, that I did not ask that of the Blessed One. I see no fault therein. Nevertheless, out of my faith in you, I confess that as a fault^[15].'

'This also, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, was ill done by thee, in that thou steppedst upon the Blessed One's rainy-season garment to sew it. Confess thy fault.'

'It was not, Sirs, through any want of respect to the Blessed One that I did so. I see no fault therein. Nevertheless, out of my faith in you, I confess that as a fault.'

'This also, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, was ill done by thee, in that thou causedst the body of the Blessed One to be saluted by women first^[16], so that by their weeping the body of the Blessed One was defiled by tears. Confess that fault.'

'I did so, Sirs, with the intention that they should not be kept beyond due time. I see no fault therein. Nevertheless, out of my faith in you, I confess that as a fault.'

'This too, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, was ill done by thee, in that even when a suggestion so evident and a hint so clear were given thee by the Blessed One, thou didst not beseech him, saying, "Let the Blessed One remain on for a kalpa! Let the Happy One remain on for a kalpa for the good and happiness of the great multitudes, out of pity for the world, for the good and the gain and the weal of gods and men^[17]!" Confess that fault.'

'I was possessed (by the Evil One)^[18], friends, when I refrained from so beseeching him. I see no fault therein. Nevertheless, out of my faith in you, I confess that as a fault.'

'This also, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, was ill done by thee, in that thou exertedst thyself to procure admission for women into the Dhamma and Vinaya proclaimed by the 罢补迟丑腻驳补迟补^[19]. Confess that fault.'

'That did I do, friends, thinking of 惭补丑腻 Paj膩pat墨 the 骋辞迟补尘墨, the sister of the Blessed One's mother; his nurse and comforter, who gave him milk; how she, when she who had borne him was dead, herself suckled him as with mother's milk. I see no fault therein. Nevertheless, out of my faith in you, I confess that as a fault.'

11. Now at that time the venerable 笔耻谤腻峁嘺 was wandering through the Southern Hills with a great company of Bhikkhus, with five hundred Bhikkhus. And when the Thera Bhikkhus had completed the chanting over together of the Dhamma and the Vinaya, he, having stayed in the Southern Hills as long as he thought fit, went on to 搁腻箩补驳补丑补 to the 痴别岣穟惫补苍补, to the Kalandaka Niv膩pa, where the Thera Bhikkhus were, and having greeted the Thera Bhikkhus, he took his seat on one side. When he was so seated, the Thera Bhikkhus said to him:

'The Dhamma and the Vinaya, friend 笔耻谤腻峁嘺, have been chanted over together by the Thera Bhikkhus. Do thou, then, submit thyself to and learn the text so rehearsed by them^[20].'

'The Dhamma and the Vinaya, Sirs, have been well sung by the Theras. Nevertheless, even in such manner as it has been heard by me, and received by me from the very mouth of the Blessed One, in that manner will I bear it in my memory.'

12. Now the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 said to the Thera Bhikkhus: 'The Blessed One, Sirs, said to me at the time of his death: "Let then the 厂补峁僩丑补, 膧苍补苍诲补, when I am dead, impose the higher penalty on Channa the Bhikkhu^[21]."

'Didst thou then, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, ask the Blessed One what the higher penalty was?'

'I did, Sirs, (and the reply was): 'Let Channa the Bhikkhu, 膧苍补苍诲补, say whatever he may wish; but the Bhikkhus should neither speak to him, nor exhort him, nor admonish him."'

'Do thou, then, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, let Channa the Bhikkhu know that the higher penalty has been imposed upon him.'

'How can I, Sirs, do so? Passionate is that Bhikkhu, and rough.'

'Go then, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, in company with a number of other Bhikkhus.'

'Even so, Sirs,' said 膧苍补苍诲补, in assent to the Thera Bhikkhus. And he took with him a number of Bhikkhus, to wit, five hundred Bhikkhus, and embarked on a boat going up stream, and disembarked at 碍辞蝉补尘产墨, and not far from king Udena's park he took his seat at the foot of a certain tree.

13. Now at that time king Udena was enjoying himself in the park together with the ladies of his palace. And the ladies heard that their teacher, the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, was seated at the foot of a tree not far from the park. And they said to king Udena:

'They say that our teacher, the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, is seated at the foot of a tree not far from the park. We desire, Lord, to go and see him.'

'Go, then, and see the 厂补尘补峁嘺 膧苍补苍诲补.' And they went and saluted the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, and took their seats on one side. And he. instructed, and aroused, and incited, and gladdened them with religious discourse. And when that discourse was concluded, they presented the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 with five hundred robes, and exalted and thanked him for his discourse, and arose from their seats, and saluted him, and keeping him on their right sides as they passed him, they departed thence.

14. And king Udena saw the ladies coming from the distance. And on seeing them he said to them:

'Well, did you succeed in seeing the 厂补尘补峁嘺 膧苍补苍诲补?'

'We saw him, Sire.'

'Did you present the 厂补尘补峁嘺 膧苍补苍诲补 with any gift?'

'We gave, Sire, to the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 five hundred robes.'

Then king Udena was indignant and annoyed, and became angry, saying:

'How can the 厂补尘补峁嘺 膧苍补苍诲补 accept so many robes? Would he set up as a hawker in cloths, or would he open a shop^[22]?'

And king Udena went to where the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补 was, and after exchanging with him the greetings and compliments of friendship and civility, sat down by his side. And when he was so seated, he said to him:

'Did our ladies come hither, 膧苍补苍诲补?'

'Yes, great king.'

'Did they give anything to your reverence?'

'They gave me, great king, five hundred robes.'

'And what does your reverence intend to do with those five hundred robes?'

I shall divide them, great king, among those of the Bhikkhus whose robes are worn out.'

'And what do you intend, 膧苍补苍诲补, to do with the worn-out robes?'

'Of those, great king, we shall make counterpanes.'

'And what do you intend to do, 膧苍补苍诲补, with the old counterpanes?'

'Of those, great king, we shall make bolster cases.'

'And what do you intend to do, 膧苍补苍诲补, with the old bolster cases?'

'Of those, great king, we shall make carpets.'

'And what do you intend to do, 膧苍补苍诲补, with the old carpets?'

'Of those, great king, we shall make towels for the washing of the feet.'

'And what do you intend to do, 膧苍补苍诲补, with the old towels?'

'Of those, great king, we shall make dusters.'

'And what do you intend to do, 膧苍补苍诲补, with the old dusters?'

'Those, great king, we shall tear in shreds, and beat up with mud, and use them for making flooring of clay.'

Then king Udena thought: 'These Sakyaputtiya 厂补尘补峁嘺s make general use of everything in a conscientious way, and take nothing as one man's peculiar property^[23].' And he presented other five hundred pieces of cloth to the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补.

15. But 膧苍补苍诲补 went on to the Ghosita 膧r膩ma, and sat down then on the seat spread out for him. And the venerable Channa went to the place where he was and saluted him, and took his seat beside him. And when he was so seated, 膧苍补苍诲补 said to him

'The 厂补峁僩丑补, friend Channa, has imposed upon you the higher penalty.'

'What then, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, is the higher penalty?'

'You, friend Channa, may say to the Bhikkhus whatever you wish; but the Bhikkhus are neither to speak to you, nor exhort you, nor admonish you.'

'Shall I not be even a slain man, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, so long as I am neither spoken to, nor exhorted, nor admonished by the Bhikkhus?' said Channa, and he fainted and fell.

Then the venerable Channa, pained, grieved, and seized with, remorse through the higher penalty, remained alone and separate, earnest, zealous, and resolved. And ere long he attained to that supreme goal^[24] of the higher life for the sake of which men even of good family go out from all and every household gain and comfort to become houseless wanderers鈥攜ea, that supreme goal did he, by himself, and while yet in this visible world, bring himself to the knowledge of, and continue to realise, and to see face to face! And he became conscious that rebirth was at an end for him, that the higher life had been fulfilled, that all that should be done had been accomplished, and that, after this present life, there would be no beyond^[25]!

So the venerable Channa became yet another among the Arahats. And after he had attained to Arahatship, the venerable Channa went to the venerable 膧苍补苍诲补, and said:

'Remove from me now, friend 膧苍补苍诲补, the higher penalty.'

'From the moment, friend Channa, that you had realised Arahatship, from that moment was the higher penalty removed from you.'

16. Now whereas five hundred Bhikkhus, without one failing, without one more, took part in this rehearsal of the Vinaya, therefore is that rehearsal of the Vinaya called 'that of the five hundred^[26].'

=====================

Here ends the Eleventh Khandhaka, on the Rehearsal by the Five Hundred.

D. at p. xiii of the General Introduction to his 'Buddhist Suttas.'

This was a flower which was supposed to grow only in heaven, and its appearance on earth showed that the devas, on some special occasion, had been casting down heavenly flowers upon the earth.

In the 'Book of the Great Decease' the following speech comes before the preceding one.

[4]:

This last was necessary, for if other Bhikkhus spent the Was at 搁腻箩补驳补丑补, either they must take part in the council, or its decisions would have been invalid through its being incompletely constituted (want of vaggatta).

In other words, he became an Arahat. Some MSS. omit the clause about the feet.

Anupa帽帽atti. Turnour (Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, 1837, p. 19) translates this word,: which is not in Childers, by 'the sequel or application of the exhortation.' We think the pa帽帽atti refers to the principal rule (as laid down in the Sutta Vibha峁単a at the close of I, 5, 11), and the anupa帽帽atti to the additions made to it in the following sections.

[7]:

This last clause doubtless refers to the closing words in the account given in the Sutta Vibha峁単a of each rule.

[8]:

That is, 'theft.'

That is, murder or manslaughter. 'The slaying of is to be understood.

Ubhato-vinaye. That is, relating on the one hand to Bhikkhus, and on the other to Bhikkhun墨s (not Sutta Vibha峁単a and Khandhakas).
