story\nAt one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.\nAt that time a robe belonging to a certain nun had been badly made and badly sewn from expensive robe-cloth.\nThe nun Thullanandā said to her,\n“Venerable, this robe-cloth is beautiful,\nbut the robe has been badly made and badly sewn.”\n“If I unstitch it, will you sew it back together?”\n“Sure.”\nThen that nun unstitched the robe and gave it to Thullanandā.\nYet although Thullanandā\nrepeatedly said she would sew it, she neither sewed it herself nor did she make any effort to have someone else do it.\nThat nun then told the nuns what had happened.\nThe nuns of few desires complained and criticized Thullanandā,\n“How could Venerable Thullanandā have a nun’s robe unstitched, and then neither sew it herself nor make any effort to have someone else do it?” …\n“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā did this?”\n“It’s true, sir.”\nThe Buddha rebuked her …\n“How could the nun Thullanandā act like this?\nThis will affect people’s confidence …” …\n“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:","pi":"Tena samayena buddho bhagavā
