10.8 The Story about the Bhikkhu with Many Possessions

A householder went forth, but first had a cottage built for himself, with provisions stored up, slaves and many requisites so as to live comfortably; the bhikkhus complained to the Buddha who reproved the bhikkhu; in a tiff the bhikkhu threw off his robe and out of spite declared he would go around half-naked; the Buddha reproved him yet again with a verse.
