2.3

The Procedure for Appropriating In-Season Offerings Made in Person: (The Vinaya states: From now on, one should not solicit summer robes at any time during spring, summer, or winter; nor should one observe the retreat in this place and receive a share of summer robes in another place. Furthermore, if someone has undertaken the summer retreat in one dwelling place and then resides in another place, she does not know where to take the retreat items. The Buddha said: "I permit taking them in the place where one resided for the greater number of days. If the days in both places are equal, I permit taking half from each." It is also said: The saṃgha obtained summer retreat robes, and the saṃgha split into two factions. The Buddha said: "One should count the number of persons and divide them. Whether before having obtained the summer robes or after having obtained the summer robes, if the saṃgha splits into two factions, one also counts the persons and divides them." In these cases, because the offerings are made in person, the division follows no special formal karman procedure.)
