Distinctions of Kathina 1. The Spreading of Kathina, etc. Whose Kathina is not spread? Whose Kathina is spread? How is Kathina not spread? How is Kathina spread? Whose Kathina is not spread? For two individuals, Kathina is not spread: For the one who does not spread it, And for the one who does not approve it. For these two individuals, Kathina is not spread. Whose Kathina is spread? For two individuals, Kathina is spread: For the one who spreads it, And for the one who approves it. For these two individuals, Kathina is spread. How is Kathina not spread? Kathina is not spread in twenty-four ways: Kathina is not spread merely by scratching, Kathina is not spread merely by washing, Kathina is not spread merely by examining the robe, Kathina is not spread merely by cutting, Kathina is not spread merely by tying, Kathina is not spread merely by turning it over, Kathina is not spread merely by making a patch, Kathina is not spread merely by strengthening it, Kathina is not spread merely by making a lining, Kathina is not spread merely by making a hem, Kathina is not spread merely by making an addition, Kathina is not spread merely by rubbing the blanket, Kathina is not spread by merely marking it, Kathina is not spread by merely discussing it, Kathina is not spread by merely regretting it, Kathina is not spread by merely storing it, Kathina is not spread by what is to be relinquished, Kathina is not spread by what is not allowable, Kathina is not spread except with the outer robe, Kathina is not spread except with the upper robe, Kathina is not spread except with the inner robe... The Kathina is not spread if it is not cut and rounded on that very day, with five or more pieces. The Kathina is not spread if it is not spread by a person. If the Kathina is properly spread, and one outside the boundary approves it, even so, the Kathina is not spread. Marking work: one makes a mark, saying: "With this cloth I will spread the Kathina." Pre-discussion: one makes a pre-discussion, saying: "By this pre-discussion I will produce the Kathina cloth." Regretful action is called a non-acceptance gift. Accumulation: there are two accumulations— accumulation for making, or accumulation for storing. Requiring relinquishment: the dawn rises while it is being made. By these twenty-four modes, the Kathina is not spread. How is the Kathina spread? By seventeen modes the Kathina is spread. By new cloth, the Kathina is spread. By new-like cloth, the Kathina is spread. By rags, the Kathina is spread. By a dust-heap rag, the Kathina is spread. By market cloth, the Kathina is spread. By not marking it, the Kathina is spread. By not pre-discussing it, the Kathina is spread. By not regretting it, the Kathina is spread. By not accumulating it, the Kathina is spread. By not requiring relinquishment, the Kathina is spread. By a suitable cloth, the Kathina is spread. By an outer robe, the Kathina is spread. By an upper robe, the Kathina is spread. By an inner robe, the Kathina is spread. By five or more pieces, cut and rounded on that very day, the Kathina is spread. By a person's spreading, the Kathina is spread. If the Kathina is properly spread, and one within the boundary approves it, even so, the Kathina is spread. By these seventeen modes, the Kathina is spread. With the spreading of the Kathina, how many qualities arise? With the Kathina... From its spreading, fifteen dhammas arise: eight main points, two impediments, five benefits. Together with the spreading of the kathina, these fifteen dhammas arise. 2. Kathina: Immediate Condition, etc. 404. Which dhammas for the application are a condition by immediate condition, are a condition by contiguous condition, are a condition by support condition, are a condition by strong support condition, are a condition by pre-nascent condition, are a condition by post-nascent condition, are a condition by co-nascent condition? Which dhammas for the preliminary act are a condition by immediate condition, etc.? Which dhammas for the withdrawal...? Which dhammas for the determination...? Which dhammas for the spreading...? Which dhammas for the main points and the impediments...? Which dhammas for the material are a condition by immediate condition, are a condition by contiguous condition, are a condition by support condition, are a condition by strong support condition, are a condition by pre-nascent condition, are a condition by post-nascent condition, are a condition by co-nascent condition? The preliminary act is a condition for the application by immediate condition, by contiguous condition, by support condition, by strong support condition. The application is a condition for the preliminary act by pre-nascent condition. The preliminary act is a condition for the application by post-nascent condition. The fifteen dhammas are a condition by co-nascent condition. The withdrawal is a condition for the preliminary act by immediate condition, by contiguous condition, by support condition, by strong support condition. The preliminary act is a condition for the withdrawal by pre-nascent condition. The withdrawal is a condition for the preliminary act by post-nascent condition. The fifteen dhammas are a condition by co-nascent condition. The determination is a condition for the withdrawal by immediate condition, by contiguous condition, by support condition, by strong support condition. The withdrawal is a condition for the determination by pre-nascent condition. The determination is a condition for the withdrawal by post-nascent A condition by a condition. Fifteen phenomena are conditioned by the co-arising condition. The spread (of the robe) is conditioned for the determination by the contiguity condition, by the immediate contiguity condition, by the support condition, by the strong support condition. The determination is conditioned for the spread by the pre-arising condition. The spread is conditioned for the determination by the post-arising condition. Fifteen phenomena are conditioned by the co-arising condition. The matrix and the impediments are conditioned for the spread by the contiguity condition, by the immediate contiguity condition, by the support condition, by the strong support condition. The spread is conditioned for the matrix and the impediments by the pre-arising condition. The matrix and the impediments are conditioned for the spread by the post-arising condition. Fifteen phenomena are conditioned by the co-arising condition. Hopes and non-hopes are conditioned for the basis by the contiguity condition, by the immediate contiguity condition, by the support condition, by the strong support condition. The basis is conditioned for hopes and non-hopes by the pre-arising condition. Hopes and non-hopes are conditioned for the basis by the post-arising condition. Fifteen phenomena are conditioned by the co-arising condition. 3. Division of the Origin, etc., of the Preliminary Act 405. What is the origin, what is the source, what is the nature, what is the arising, what is the accumulation, what is the cause of the preliminary act? What is the origin, what is the source, what is the nature, what is the arising, what is the accumulation, what is the cause of the retraction? What is the origin, what is the source, what is the nature, what is the arising, what is the accumulation, what is the cause of the determination? What is the origin, what is the source, what is the nature, what is the arising, what is the accumulation, what is the cause of the spread (of the robe)? What are the origin, what are the source, what are the nature, what are the arising, what are the accumulation, what are the cause of the matrix and the impediments? What are the origin, what are the source, what are the nature, what are the arising, what are the accumulation, what are the cause of hopes and non-hopes? The preliminary act has exertion as its origin, exertion as its source, exertion as its nature, exertion as its aris Non-existence, preparation for effort, arising of effort. Recitation has the preliminary act as its origin, as its source, as its birth, as its springing forth, as its preparation, as its arising. Determination has recitation as its origin, as its source, as its birth, as its springing forth, as its preparation, as its arising. Meaning has determination as its origin, as its source, as its birth, as its springing forth, as its preparation, as its arising. The matrix and the hindrances have meaning as their origin, as their source, as their birth, as their springing forth, as their preparation, as their arising. Hope and non-hope have the basis as their origin, as their source, as their birth, as their springing forth, as their preparation, as their arising. 406. Effort, what is its origin, what is its source, what is its birth, what is its springing forth, what is its preparation, what is its arising? The preliminary act... recitation... determination... meaning... the matrix and the hindrances... the basis... hope and non-hope, what are their origins, what are their sources, what are their births, what are their springing forth, what are their preparations, what are their arisings? Effort has the root cause as its origin, as its source, as its birth, as its springing forth, as its preparation, as its arising. The preliminary act... recitation... determination... meaning... the matrix and the hindrances... the basis... hope and non-hope have the root cause as their origin, as their source, as their birth, as their springing forth, as their preparation, as their arising. 407. Effort, what is its origin, what is its source, what is its birth, what is its springing forth, what is its preparation, what is its arising? The preliminary act... recitation... determination... meaning... the matrix and the hindrances... the basis... hope and non-hope, what are their origins, what are their sources, what are their births, what are their springing forth,
