1.71

The Buddha was in Rājagṛha. There was Dhaniya, who sat in dhyāna in a grass hut in a quiet place. When it was taken away by others, he then made an entirely complete tile hut, which the Buddha ordered to be demolished. He then falsely proclaimed a royal decree to take essential timber. He was rebuked by the king's ministers and the people: 'Do not let him enter the village; do not let him reside here again!' The bhikṣus reported his transgression to the Buddha, and on account of this, the precept was instituted as above.
