僧羯磨 1.52

1.52

"May the saṃgha, bhadantas, listen! This place has a common residence and common poṣadha; the saṃgha now demarcates a sīmā for non-separation from robes. Whichever āyuṣmats approve that the saṃgha demarcate a sīmā for non-separation from robes for this place of common residence and common poṣadha, let them remain silent; whoever does not approve, let him speak. The saṃgha has approved demarcating a sīmā for non-separation from robes for this place of common residence and common poṣadha. The saṃgha approves, because of the silence. Thus do I hold this matter." (At that time, bhikṣus took off their robes and left them in laypersons' houses, and when putting them on or taking them off, their bodies were exposed. The Buddha said: "I allow you to demarcate a sīmā for non-separation from robes, excluding villages and the boundary outside villages." The demarcation procedure is as above, merely adding one phrase: 'excluding villages and the boundary outside villages.' The ñatti is thus.)
