1.274

時有比丘,於彼止宿,著衣持鉢,入村乞食,法服齊整,行步庠序,低目直前,不左右顧視,以次行乞。居士見已,自相謂言:「此是何人?低目而行,既不顧視,亦不言笑,不相周接、善言問訊。我等不應與其飲食。不如阿濕婆等,與人周接——及上所言——應與供養。」時彼乞食,困乃得之。往至佛所,問言:「住止樂不?僧和合不?不以飲食為苦耶?」彼具白佛。便遙訶責,令往設擯。

At that time, there was a bhikṣu who lodged there. Donning his robes and carrying his bowl, he entered the village to beg for food. His Dharma robes were neat and orderly, his gait dignified, keeping his eyes downcast and walking straight ahead without looking left or right, begging in proper order. When the householders saw him, they said to one another: "Who is this person? Walking with downcast eyes, neither looking around nor talking or smiling, neither socializing nor greeting us with friendly inquiries. We should not give him food or drink. He is not like Assaji and his companions, who socialize with people—and what was described above—to whom offerings should be made." Then that bhikṣu, after much hardship, barely obtained food. He went to where the Buddha was, and [the Buddha] asked him: "Is your dwelling pleasant? Is the Saṃgha in harmony? Have you suffered for lack of food and drink?" He fully reported to the Buddha. [The Buddha] then rebuked them from afar and ordered that expulsion be carried out.
