THE MAHAVAGGA

THIRD KHANDHAKA (RESIDENCE DURING THE RAINY SEASON,VASSA)

Chapter-10 : When Villagers Leave Their Village.

At that time the village near which the Bhikkhus of a certain district had entered upon Vassa, was transferred to another place through (fear of) robbers.

They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.

'I prescribe. O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the village is.'

The village (people) divided themselves in two parts.

They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.

'I prescribe, O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the greater part is.

The greater part were unbelieving, unconverted people.

They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.

'I prescribe, O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the believing, converted people are.'
