MAHAVAGGA

SEVENTH KHANDHAKA (THE KATHINA CEREMONIES)

Chapter-12.

'A Bhikkhu intent on finding a comfortable place (to live in), after the Kathina ceremony has been held, takes a robe, and goes away, thinking, "I will go to such and such a residence; if it is comfortable there, I will remain there if it is not, I will go to such and such a residence; if it is comfortable there, I will remain there; if it is not, I will go to such and such a residence; if it is comfortable there, I will remain there; if it is not, I will go back."

'When he has got beyond the boundary, he thinks, "I will have the robe made up here, and will never go back," &c. '
