At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery, a certain monk was given wool as he was walking through the Kosalan country on his way to Sāvatthī. He bound it into a bundle with his upper robe and carried on. People who saw him teased him, “Venerable, how much did it cost you? How much will the profit be?” As a result he was humiliated. When he arrived at Sāvatthī, he threw the wool to the ground. The monks asked him why. “People have been teasing me because of this wool.” “But how far have you carried it?” “Over 40 kilometers.” The monks of few desires complained and criticized him, “How could a monk carry wool more than 40 kilometers?”
