2.16

問:「鉢得合覆著壁上不?」答:「若巾裹得合淨處著,若囊或懸壁好,不得覆著壁上。昔六群比丘覆鉢壁上,墮地即破。佛因此制戒,自今已後不得覆鉢壁上,覆鉢壁上者犯捨。墮地者,犯捨墮。」

Question: "May a pātra be placed face down against a wall?"
Answer: "If wrapped in a cloth, it may be placed facing downward in a clean place. It is good if it is in a bag or hung on a wall; it must not be placed face down against a wall. Formerly, the ṣaḍvargika bhikṣus placed their pātras face down against a wall, and they fell to the ground and instantly broke. For this reason the Buddha instituted the rule: From this time forward, one must not place a pātra face down against a wall. Whoever places a pātra face down against a wall commits an offense of renunciation; if it falls to the ground, he commits a naiḥsargika-pāyattika offense."
