30. Samatittikasikkhāpada

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū thūpīkataṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhanti …pe….

Not receiving on an even level Origin story

At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks from the group of six received almsfood in a heap. …

“Samatittikaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggahessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

Final ruling

“‘I will receive an even level of almsfood,’ this is how you should train.”

Samatittiko piṇḍapāto paṭiggahetabbo. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca thūpīkataṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhāti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.

Almsfood is to be received at an even level. If a monk, out of disrespect, receives almsfood in a heap, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—

Non-offenses

There is no offense:

asañcicca, assatiyā, ajānantassa, āpadāsu,

if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if there is an emergency;

ummattakassa, ādikammikassāti.

if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
