CHULAVAGGA (THE MINOR SECTION)
TENTH KHANDHAKA (ON THE DUTIES OF BHIKKHUNIS/NUNS)
Chapter-24.
1. Now at that time a certain lay disciple had given to the Bhikkhuni-sangha a servant's lodge (to live in).
They told this matter to the Lord Buddha.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, the use of a stable.'
It did not satisfy (their wants). They told this matter to the Lord Buddha.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, a separate residence for Bhikkhunis.'
That did not satisfy their wants. They told this matter to the Lord Buddha.
'I allow, O Bhikkhus, building operations (to be carried on for the benefit of Bhikkhunis).'
That did not satisfy their wants. They told this matter to the Lord Buddha.
'I allow Bhikkhunis, O Bhikkhus, to assign certain places to live in to individual members of the Order.'
