English version Question: 'If someone is present when food is being distributed and also present during the Kamma (action, deed, or karma) ceremony, should each person receive a share?' Answer: 'Those present at the end of the Kamma ceremony may receive a share. If present at the time of death but not present during the Kamma ceremony, they may not.' Question: 'If a Bhiksu (Buddhist monk) dies, and others buy a coffin, clothes, and bury him, what offense is committed by those who do so?' The answer is: 'Report to the Sangha (Buddhist monastic community), and use the Sangha's property to buy cloth to cover the corpse. The remaining property should belong to the Sangha. The teacher's belongings must absolutely not be buried; if more than five coins are buried, a Nissaggiya Pacittiya (an offense requiring forfeiture) is committed. If it is the disciple's private property, it is permissible. If the deceased knew the Dharma (Buddhist teachings) and had already allocated the property, then those who distribute it are without fault.' Question: 'If parents or relatives die, can a Bhiksu prepare clothes, a coffin, and bury them?' Answer: 'No. If the parents die on that day, or if they are sick and no one is providing for them, one may beg for food and give them half. If one can make rope and thread oneself, one must not give them food, otherwise a Nissaggiya Pacittiya is committed. Giving them clothes also incurs a Nissaggiya Pacittiya. How much more so with coffins and burials!' Question: 'A sick person is near death. The Patra (begging bowl) and robes are given to the caretaker beforehand, but no Kamma ceremony is performed. The caretaker sells the robes and bowl to provide food for the Sangha. Is it permissible to eat this food?' Answer: 'If the Sangha eats this food before the Kamma ceremony is performed, the Sangha commits a Nissaggiya Pacittiya. If the caretaker does not know the Dharma and has already performed the Kamma ceremony, the Sangha may eat the food. If it has not yet been performed, the Sangha should act according to the Dharma.' Question: 'A Bhiksu borrows something from someone. That person dies. Can the Bhiksu take it back himself?' Answer: 'One must absolutely not take it back oneself; taking it back oneself incurs a Dukkata (an offense of wrong-doing). One should report to the Sangha, and the Sangha must agree before it can be taken back. If the Sangha does not return it, a Dukkata is committed. If the Sangha does not agree and one forcibly takes it back, a Nissaggiya Pacittiya is committed.' Question: 'Can a Bhiksu build a Stupa (a Buddhist monument, typically housing relics) for a deceased teacher?' Answer: 'One may use one's own property, but one must not use the teacher's belongings to build it.' Question: 'Can a Bhiksu pay respects at the teacher's tomb?' Answer: 'Yes. The objection is raised: 'When alive, he was my teacher, but after death, he is no longer a Bhiksu, only dry bones remain. Why should I pay respects?' The answer is: 'If the Buddha (the awakened one) should be offered to and respected when alive, after Nirvana (liberation) he is also just dry bones, so why make offerings? When the teacher was alive, he benefited others with the Dharma, and after death, one should also respectfully pay homage. What fault is there in that!' Question: 'When distributing items, performing the Kamma ceremony...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
