(Mv.V.11.1) Now on that occasion people had beds and benches upholstered with skins/hides or tied together with leather (strips). The monks, anxious, didn’t sit down. They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Monks, I allow one to sit on what has been made for householders, but not to lie down on it.”

Now on that occasion the dwellings were bound[2] with skin/hide bands. The monks, anxious, didn’t sit down. They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

“Monks, I allow one to sit on the amount of hide used for binding.”

(Mv.V.12.1) [19] Now at that time the Group-of-six monks would enter the village wearing leather footwear. People criticized and complained and spread it about, “Just like householders who partake of sensuality.”

They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

Monks, one should not enter a village while wearing leather footwear. Whoever should enter: an offense of wrong doing.”

Now on that occasion a certain monk was sick. He couldn’t enter the village without leather footwear. They reported the matter to the Blessed One.

”Monks, I allow that a sick monk enter a village while wearing leather footwear.”
