僧羯磨 1.56

1.56

The procedure for demarcating pure ground. (At that time, a bhikṣu with vomiting and diarrhea sent someone in the city of Śrāvastī to boil porridge. Due to circumstances, the city gates opened late, and before he could obtain the porridge, he died. The Buddha said: "I allow you to demarcate pure ground within the saṃghārāma by a jñaptidvitīya-karman; you should announce a room, a place, a bathhouse, or a cloister. One bhikṣu should rise, assume proper deportment, and announce in the midst of the saṃgha that a certain courtyard, fruit and vegetable plots, and so forth are made pure ground." Having announced it, it should be performed thus.)
