A monk who has participated in the robe-making ceremony leaves the monastery for a different region without taking his share of robe-cloth. When he has gone to that region, the monks there ask him, “Where did you complete the rains residence? Where’s your share of robe-cloth?” He replies, “I completed the rains residence in such-and-such a monastery. That’s where my share of robe-cloth is.” They say, “Go and get that robe-cloth, and we’ll make a robe for you.” He then goes to that monastery and asks the monks, “Where’s my share of the robe-cloth?” They reply, “This is your share.” He takes that robe-cloth and sets out for the other monastery. While he is on his way, monks ask him, “Where are you going?” He says, “I’m going to such-and-such a monastery. The monks there will make me a robe.” They say, “There’s no need to go. We’ll make a robe for you here.” He thinks, “I won’t make a robe, and I won’t return.” For that monk the robe season ends when he makes that decision.
