On one occasion when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, the monks from the group of six were staying with the army for two or three nights. They went to see battles, troop reviews, the massing of the army, and troop inspections. One of the monks who went to a battle was struck by an arrow. People teased him, “We hope you had a good battle, venerable. How many targets did you hit?” And because they teased him, he felt humiliated. People complained and criticized those monks, “How can the Sakyan monastics go to see a battle? It’s our misfortune that we must go to battles for the sake of our livelihoods and because of our wives and children.”
