These men are no Bhikkhus.’ And they beat them, and went away. The Bhikkhus told this matter to the Bhikkhus. The Bhikkhus told it to the Blessed One. Then the Blessed One, on that occasion and in that connection, after delivering a religious discourse, said to the Bhikkhus : ‘Therefore, O Bhikkhus, do I establish a rule of conduct for Bhikkhus dwelling in the woods, according to which they are to behave themselves therein. 2. ‘A Bhikkhu, O Bhikkhus, who is dwelling in the woods, should rise betimes, place his bowl in the bag’, hang it over his shoulder, arrange his upper robe over his back (over both shoulders)’, get on 1 They are all repeated in the text. ?

This is possibly one of the bags referred to in the permission granted by Mahavagga VIII, 20, but it was only to be used when the bowl had to be carried a long distance, and not when passing through a village.

He should learn the stations (of the moon) in the constellations, either in the whole or in part, and he should know the directions of the sky. ‘This, O Bhikkhus, is the rule of conduct that I lay down for Bhikkhus dwelling in the woods, according to which they should behave themselves therein.’ 7. 1. Now at that time a number of Bhikkhus carried on robe-making in the open air. The Khabbaggiya Bhikkhus beat their bedding to get ekamsam kivaram katva (on which question there is a great division among modern Buddhists. Compare Rh.
