2.165

(The Buddha was in Kauśāmbī. Channa was erecting a building and mixed mud with water containing living creatures, and instructed others to mix it. An elder saw this and expressed disapproval: “This is not the true Dharma, harming the lives of sentient beings!” The bhikṣus reported the offense, and the Buddha formulated the precept on this basis.)
