c61.s2.37

We read in the Vinaya (Mahāvagga and Cullavagga) and other Pāli texts of the Buddha’s visits to the Kūṭāgārasālā and other retreats. On one such occasion the Buddha taught his monks many matters connected with the sort of houses they were to build and dwell in; and he also ordered the Samgha to excommunicate Vaddha, a Licchavi, who had brought a false charge against one of the brotherhood; but afterwards relented on Vaddha’s making due reparations.¹
