十出請家法。《五分》:還寺去時,上座八人相待,餘人前去。應僧徒從座而起,整理衣鉢,乃至次第而行。至請門首告云:檀越厚施如法,貧道何德堪之;餘言隨時。語已便去。《雜含》云:佛及比丘食竟,皆入禪室坐禪;晡時,從禪起而說法也。

Tenth: Rules for leaving the house of the host. The Pañcavargika-vinaya states: 'When returning to the monastery, the eight senior monks wait for one another, while the other persons go ahead. The monastic assembly should rise from their seats, adjust their robes and bowls, and walk in order. Upon arriving at the front gate of the host, they say: "The dānapati's generous giving is in accordance with the Dharma; what virtue has this poor monk to be worthy of it?" Other words may be added according to the occasion.' Having spoken, they leave. The Saṃyukta-āgama states: when the Buddha and the bhikṣus finished eating, they all entered the meditation chamber to sit in meditation; in the late afternoon, they arose from meditation and expounded the Dharma.
