16.89

爾時世尊在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園。時六群比丘著白色衣行，時諸居士見皆共譏嫌：「此沙門釋子不知慚愧、受取無厭，外自稱言：『我修正法。』如今觀之有何正法？云何著新白色衣行，如似王王大臣。」諸比丘聞已，其中有少欲知足、行頭陀、樂學戒、知慚愧者，嫌責六群比丘言：「云何汝等著白色新衣行？」爾時諸比丘往世尊所，頭面禮足在一面坐，以此因緣具白世尊。世尊爾時以此因緣集比丘僧，呵責六群比丘言：「汝所為非，非威儀、非沙門法、非淨行、非隨順行，所不應為。云何，六群比丘！著白色衣行？」爾時世尊以無數方便呵責六群比丘已，告諸比丘：「此癡人！多種有漏處，最初犯戒。自今已去與比丘結戒，集十句義乃至正法久住，欲說戒者當如是說：若比丘得新衣，應三種壞色一一色中隨意壞，若青、若黑、若木蘭。若比丘不以三種壞色，若青、若黑、若木蘭，著餘新衣者，波逸提。」

At that time, the Bhagavat was staying in Śrāvastī, at Jetavana Anāthapiṇḍadārāma. At that time, the group-of-six bhikṣus walked about wearing white robes. When the householders saw them, they all criticized them, saying: "These śramaṇas, sons of the Śākya, know no shame and receive things without satiety. Outwardly they claim, 'We practice the true Dharma.' Looking at them now, what true Dharma is there? Why do they walk about wearing new white robes just like kings and great ministers of kings?" The bhikṣus heard this, and among them, those who were of few desires and contented, who practiced the dhūtas, loved training in the śīla, and knew shame criticized the group-of-six bhikṣus, saying: "Why do you walk about wearing new white robes?" At that time, the bhikṣus went to the Bhagavat, bowed their heads at his feet, and sat to one side. They reported this matter fully to the Bhagavat. The Bhagavat thereupon assembled the bhikṣu-saṅgha on account of this matter and rebuked the group-of-six bhikṣus, saying: "What you have done is wrong; it is not deportment, not the conduct of a śramaṇa, not pure conduct, not compliant conduct; it is not to be done. How could you, group-of-six bhikṣus, walk about wearing white robes?" Then the Bhagavat, having rebuked the group-of-six bhikṣus with countless expedients, addressed the bhikṣus: "These foolish men! Through manifold grounds of defilement, they are the first to commit an offense against the precepts. From now on, I lay down this precept for the bhikṣus, gathering the ten objectives up to the long endurance of the true Dharma. Those who wish to recite the precepts should recite them thus: 'If a bhikṣu acquires a new robe, he should disfigure its color with any one of three disfiguring colors as he pleases: either blue-green, black, or red-brown. If a bhikṣu, without disfiguring it with one of the three disfiguring colors—either blue-green, black, or red-brown—wears another new robe, it is a pāyattika.'"
