They told the Buddha. Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks: “Is it true, monks, that the monks Paṇḍuka and Lohitaka are acting like this?” “It’s true, sir.” The Buddha rebuked them, “It’s not suitable for those foolish men, it’s not proper, it’s not worthy of a monastic, it’s not allowable, it’s not to be done. How can they act like this, causing new quarrels to start and existing quarrels to become worse? This will affect people’s confidence, and cause some to lose it.”
