Chapter-10 : When Villagers Leave Their Village.
At that time the village near which the Bhikkhus of a certain district had entered upon Vassa, was transferred to another place through (fear of) robbers.
They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.
'I prescribe. O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the village is.'
The village (people) divided themselves in two parts.
They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.
'I prescribe, O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the greater part is.
The greater part were unbelieving, unconverted people.
They told this thing to the Lord Buddha.
'I prescribe, O Bhikkhus(Monks), that you go where the believing, converted people are.'
