On one occasion when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, a certain monk was walking for almsfood along a street in Sāvatthī, as was a certain nun. That monk said to that nun, “Go to such-and-such a place, sister, and you’ll get alms,” and she said the same to him. And because they met frequently, they became friends. Just then robe-cloth belonging to the Sangha was being distributed. Then, after going to the instruction, that nun went to that monk and bowed. He then said to her, “Sister, will you accept my share of the robe-cloth?” “Yes, venerable, my robes are worn.” And he gave his robe-cloth to that nun. As a consequence, his robes, too, became worn. Other monks said to him, “Why don’t you make a robe for yourself?” And he told them what had happened.
