2.46

(The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya says: "The bowl is a vessel for renunciants, who have few desires and few affairs; it is not suitable for worldly people." The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya says: "The Buddha personally made an unbaked clay bowl to serve as the standard model." In the Vinaya, one must not keep bowls of assorted precious stones, copper, pewter, wood, or stone; essentially there are two kinds: clay and iron. They should be smoked to produce two colors: black and red.

The Mahīśāsaka-vinaya says: "An earthenware bowl should be washed close to the ground. If washed in a manner contrary to the Dharma, an offense is incurred." The Vinayamātṛkā and the Daśādhyāya-vinaya say: "The bowl is the emblem of all Buddhas; one must not misuse it or wash hands in it; revere it like one's eyes." In the Vinaya, if it is cracked, mend it with pewter or lead-tin solder. The Vinaya lacks a procedure for taking it up; following the Daśādhyāya-vinaya, one says:)
