2.46

Fourth: the five types of military weapons. In the root Vinaya, bhikṣus are not permitted to watch armies fighting, down to playing around with them. The Samantapāsādikā states: "If weapons are donated, the saṅgha should smash and destroy them; they must not be sold." The Sarvāstivāda states: "If items made of faux jewels or made as men's accoutrements, such as spears, lances, military weapons, and musical instruments, one must not take them into one's hands."
