[655] "Venerable sir, is the practice concerning residences (āvāsakappa) allowable?"
"Friend, what is this practice concerning residences?"
"Venerable sir, is it allowable for several residences having the same boundary (sīmā) to perform the Uposatha separately?"
"No, friend, it is not allowable."
"Where was it prohibited?"
"At Rājagaha, in the section connected with the Uposatha (Uposathasaṃyutta)."
"What offence does one commit?"
"An offence of wrongdoing (dukkaṭa) for transgressing the Vinaya."
"Venerable sirs, let the Saṅgha listen to me. This fourth matter has been decided by the Saṅgha. Thus this matter is contrary to the Dhamma, contrary to the Vinaya, departed from the Teacher's instruction. I put down this fourth ticket (salākā)."
