At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time a lay follower who had given a storehouse to the Sangha of nuns had died. He had two sons, one with and one without faith and confidence, and they divided their father’s property between them. Then the one without faith said to the other, “The storehouse is ours; let’s allocate it to one of us.” But the one with faith responded, “No, our father gave it to the Sangha of nuns.” A second time they both said the same thing, and a third time the one without faith repeated his proposal. The one with faith then thought, “If I get it, I too would give it to the Sangha of nuns,” and he said, “Alright, let’s allocate it.” But when they allocated it, it fell to the one without faith. He then went to the nuns and said, “Please leave, venerables, this storehouse is mine.” The nun Thullanandā said to him, “No, your father gave it to the Sangha of nuns.” Because they were unable to agree, they asked judges to decide on the matter. They said, “Venerable, who knows that it was given to the Sangha of nuns?” Thullanandā replied, “But sirs, didn’t you appoint a witness who saw or heard the giving of the gift?” Saying, “It’s true what the venerable says,” the judges made the storehouse the property of the Sangha of nuns. The defeated man complained and criticized the nuns, “They’re not monastics, these shaven-headed sluts. How could they take my storehouse?” Thullanandā told the judges of this and they punished him. That man then made a dwelling place for Ājīvaka ascetics near the nunnery, inciting them to drown out the nuns.
