佛說目連問戒律中五百輕重事 1.204

1.204

問：「鉢得覆著壁上不？」答：「若巾裹得令淨處，若囊盛懸壁好，不得覆著壁上。六群比丘覆鉢壁上，墮地即破。佛因此制戒，自今以後不得覆鉢壁上。覆鉢壁上者犯墮，墮地破犯捨墮。」

Question: "May a pātra be placed upside down on a wall?" Answer: "If it is wrapped in a cloth so that it is in a clean place, or put in a bag and hung from a wall, that is fine; it may not be placed upside down on a wall. The group of six monks placed their pātras upside down on a wall, and they fell to the ground and broke. The Buddha established the precept on this account: from now on, one may not place a pātra upside down on a wall. One who places a pātra upside down on a wall commits an offence of pātayantika; if it falls to the ground and breaks, he commits an offence of naiḥsargika-pātayantika."
