After rebuking those monks in many ways, they told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned those monks: “Is it true, monks, that you did this?” “It’s true, sir.” The Buddha rebuked them … “Foolish men, how could you do this? This will affect people’s confidence …” … “And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

Final ruling ‘If a monk himself asks for thread, and then has weavers weave him robe-cloth, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.’”

Definitions A: whoever … Monk: … The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case. Himself: he himself has asked. Thread: there are six kinds of thread: linen, cotton, silk, wool, sunn hemp, and hemp. Weavers: if he has it woven by weavers, then for every effort there is an act of wrong conduct. When he gets the robe-cloth, it becomes subject to relinquishment. The robe-cloth should be relinquished to a sangha, a group, or an individual. “And, monks, it should be relinquished like this. …” (To be expanded as in <a href='https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-bu-vb-np1#3.2.5'>Bu NP 1:3.2.5</a>–3.2.29, with appropriate substitutions.) “Venerables, this robe-cloth, which I got weavers to weave after asking for the thread myself, is to be relinquished. I relinquish it to the Sangha.” … “the Sangha should give …” “you should give …” “I give this robe-cloth back to you.”

Permutations If he had it woven, and he perceives that he did, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.

If he had it woven, but he is unsure of it, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession. If he had it woven, but he does not perceive that he did, he commits an offense entailing relinquishment and confession.
