The \*Dharmaguptaka\* states: When Upāli arrived at a residence and was not received, he left on the very same day. The Buddha said: if someone knows the Dharma, knows the Vinaya, and knows the Mātṛkā, wherever he arrives, one should welcome him and provide him with food and drink. It also does not specify whether this is current property or cāturdiśa-saṃgha property. By analogy with giving robes to a duty officer, which are current property of the ten directions, we know that it is not permanent property of the cāturdiśa-saṃgha. The \*Daśādhyāya\* states: because this person replaces my position, he must be provided for. The \*Pañcavargika\* states: if a layperson enters the monastery and the saṃgha does not give him food, he will conceive resentment; the Buddha said one should give it to him. Then \[the monks\] gave him food in an inferior vessel, and he again conceived resentment; the Buddha said one should give it to him in a fine vessel. This refers to ordinary laypeople who look for faults in the saṃgha. If they are members of the two lay assemblies or discerning laypersons, one should explain that food of merit is difficult to digest, and that it is not out of stinginess, as explained in the rules of 'The Network of the Assembly'. The \*Daśādhyāya\* states: to supply firewood, fire, lamps, and candles to kings and great ministers, one is permitted to arbitrarily use nineteen coins without having to announce it to the saṃgha; if they demand more, one must announce it to the saṃgha before giving it. When evil bandits arrive, one should provide according to the circumstances, with no limit on the amount. The \*Mahāsāṃghika\* states: whether evil bandits, donors, craftsmen, or even kings and great ministers, if they have the power to cause harm or benefit, one should give them food and drink. The \*Sarvāstivāda-vinaya-vibhāṣā\* states: give to those who can cause harm, but it is improper to give to those who can benefit, for that is defiling the household; if both parties know the Dharma according to the Vinaya, it is also permissible. This is explained extensively below in the second category. The \*Daśādhyāya\* states: if a sick person requests expensive medicine of the saṃgha, one is permitted to give it to him up to the value of two and a half coins. The \*Sudarsana\* states: regarding the rules for providing for kappiyakārakas, if they take turns on duty, one gives food and clothing when they are on duty, but not when they are off duty; for those in permanent service, one provides food and clothing. The \*Daśādhyāya\* states: when a hired laborer is hired for a full day, and an unforeseen emergency arises so that the contract cannot be fulfilled, the Buddha instructed that he be paid according to the work done. Following secular law, from morning until before noon, if an emergency occurs, one gives him a meal but no wages; from noon onward, if an emergency prevents work, one pays him the full day's wages. Moreover, one must follow the Buddha's words to gauge his labor and observe his diligence or laziness; even if he has worked only half a day, if his work matches that of a whole man, one should still pay him the original wage, and if he was truly lazy, one should reduce it. The rest, regarding the general and specific rules on the saṃgha's food, is broadly treated as in the upper fascicle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.78) - [Next: 2.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.80) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804~en-mt.2.79) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [梵網經菩薩戒本疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1813.2.13) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1804.2.79) · Pramāṇa
