1.83

Third, explaining its substance. The Vinaya says: "In general there are two kinds: clay and iron." In the Pañcavargika-vinaya: "Using a wooden bowl constitutes a sthūlātyaya offence." The Mahāsāṃghika-vinaya says: "Because it is a mark of non-Buddhists, and also because it absorbs grime and grease." The Patriarch says: "In the world today there are bowls made of layered hemp, lacquer, and oil; these are all improper, and according to principle must be destroyed."
