They said to the nun Caṇḍakāḷī,\n“Venerable, have you seen our things?”\nCaṇḍakāḷī complained and criticized them,\n“Why are you asking me if I’ve seen your things? Am I a thief? Am I shameless?\nVenerables, if I took your things I wouldn’t be a monastic anymore. I would fall from the spiritual life and be reborn in hell.\nMay anyone who speaks such an untruth about me depart from monasticism, fall from the spiritual life, and be reborn in hell!”\nThe nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,\n“How could Venerable Caṇḍakāḷī curse herself and others, referring to hell and the spiritual life?” …\n“Is it true, monks, that the nun Caṇḍakāḷī did this?”\n“It’s true, sir.”\nThe Buddha rebuked her …\n“How could the nun Caṇḍakāḷī act like this?\nThis will affect people’s confidence …” …\n“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like
