Buddha, the blessed one, dwells in the park of Anāthapiṇḍada namely Jetavana, at Śrāvastī.
When there is no state of absence of passion, the monks commit a saṃghāvaśeṣa offence. They feel remorseful and they reflect:
“How is it that we are sinner, full of remorse, disturbing, having so many things to do [to accomplish being a good monk], we are breaking [the vinaya] into pieces, having blemish [in monastic life], having moral stain, we [will] not rise above the underground due to those offences; how shall we practice all kinds of respected postures, namely, abhivādana; respectful salutation / vandana; greeting / pratyutthāna; rising from a seat to welcome a visitor / añjali; the open hands placed side by side and slightly hollowed / sāmīcī; homage, respectful behaviour, in the nearness of the normal monks.
We will not enjoy good alms-food, good water, a good seat from faithful brahmans and householders.
We will continue our existence merely a short time happiness but a long time suffering; we will go roaming about with the hellish beings, animals and the [unhappy] spirits.
