If so, I said, "Please give the rice that grows in my field to the noble ones, please eat here!". He said, "Layman, I cannot. Why is that? Because the Blessed One does not allow taking uncooked grain." After saying that, he remained silent. After this happened, the monks reported to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One said, "Since that is the case, allow the harvesting of rice for the sake of the Sangha, do not hesitate." This incident occurred in Shravasti. In Shravasti, another householder built a dwelling for another person, and offered many mattresses inside. The monks collected them all in a large storehouse. That monk said something to the householder, and the householder scolded him. After this happened, the monks reported to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One said, "Monks, the householder's scolding is justified. Therefore, the mattresses should be used according to how they were offered, and those who dwell there have the right to use them." Then, that householder offered many cloths to that dwelling, and covered them with mattresses, piling them up among the Sangha's possessions. That monk said something to the householder again. The householder scolded him again. After this happened, the monks reported to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One said, "Monks, the householder's scolding is justified. The donor has the right to decide, monks, the possessions of the dwelling, only those who dwell there have the right to use them." They did not give that monk any other rewards. The Blessed One said, "Also give him some from the possessions belonging to the Sangha, let him also enjoy it, do not hesitate." This is the first verse of the 'Four Gates Sutra' from the Vinaya. The Holy Dharma of the Vinaya, Volume Thirty-Six. In short: Whoever dwells wherever, The monks there should also comply, Also the implements in the fields, Food and lamps should also comply. The Buddha, the Blessed One, was dwelling in Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Garden in Shravasti.

While in Shravasti, another householder built some rooms in the monastery and offered mattresses there. He also made some rules, and the monks put those mattresses into the Sangha and distributed the gains together. The monks reported what had happened to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One instructed: Do not move those things that will surely change. Then, whatever is fixed should be used, and the gains should also be taken as one's own. The monks did not give him other gains, and the Blessed One instructed: Give both, and then use them as you please, but how should they be arranged according to the age order of the monks? The origin of the story is when in Shravasti, when in Shravasti, another householder lived there, and a beggar went to him, made him take refuge, and settled him in the training. Later, he also spoke of the seven merits of doing good with wealth, and that householder was very convinced, saying: Holy one, I will also do some good deeds done with wealth. That beggar said: Householder, do so. The householder asked: Holy one, what should I do? Build a monastery for the Sangha. The holy one said: I have Karshapanas here, but I have no companions to do good. The householder said: Householder, bring the Karshapanas, I will be your companion in doing good. Then, he gave the Karshapanas and also arranged for the person in charge of the project. He put the Karshapanas into the room, and after putting them away, he did not start any work at all. The householder thought, to what extent has my monastery been built? Thinking and thinking, he went there, and as a result, he saw that nothing had been started. He asked the beggar: Holy one, why hasn't any work started? The person in charge of the project said: Some tools are needed here. The householder said: Why don't you use the Karshapanas I offered to buy the tools needed for the project? He said: Householder, how can I arbitrarily use the property of the Sangha of the four directions? Holy one

Please do not make mistakes. Thus, the monks reported to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One instructed: If the householder commands, use those tools for the construction, do not hesitate. After he used those tools for the construction, that almsman also did the construction and then went to beg for alms, and that householder saw him and said: Venerable, if you beg for alms, who will do the construction of my monastery? Householder, all sentient beings live on food, how can I do the construction of your monastery while I am hungry? Of course, I will beg for alms. He said: Venerable, in that case, use those materials for the construction to eat. He said: Why should I eat what I have offered to the Sangha of the four directions?

They were staying in the Wunga Garden. The Group of Six monks, having distributed the bedding of the Sangha, were doing dyeing work, washing and mending clothes. The monk in charge of the bowl affairs burned the clothes with fire, and the clothes became dirty and were also ruined by the dye. The monks reported this matter to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One instructed: Do not do dyeing work while wearing the Sangha's clothes, do not do the bowl affairs, and do not do the work of cutting down trees. If you do, you will commit an offense. This happened in Shravasti. The Group of Six monks, wearing the Sangha's clothes, were doing dyeing work without cover, sitting there like rain, ruining the clothes. The monks reported this matter to the Blessed One, and the Blessed One instructed: Do not wear the Sangha's clothes and sit there like rain without cover. If you sit, you will commit an offense. This happened in Shravasti. The Group of Six monks, while wandering, spent the night in another village in a rocky mountain, and arrived at a temple in the rocky mountain village. The monks rested in familiar places. They said: Venerable ones, the matter of resting can be done later. Call the person in charge of distributing bedding and distribute bedding and lodging according to seniority. They said to some of the venerable monks who were lying down and whose nights were also disturbed: Whatever, sleep wherever you are familiar, and tomorrow morning we will distribute lodging and bedding. They said to the venerable ones: While the Blessed One is still here, are you going to destroy the Dharma? Distribute lodging and bedding to us according to seniority. The person in charge of laying out the bedding began to lay out lodging and bedding, without distributing it to the new monks. After sleeping for a while, the Group of Six monks got up early the next morning, put away the bedding, and left. The monks asked: Why are you putting away the bedding? They replied: Venerable ones, we came to pay homage to the stupa, and now we are going back. They said to the venerable ones
