- Ten Indulgences (dasa vatthuni)
The Ten Indulgences recorded in the four vinaya texts[1] are slightly different from each other. In the Mahisāsaka vinaya they are recorded as follows:
- 1) It is allowed to keep salt and ginger. This is not impure.
- 2) After meal time if one got extra food and picks up with two fingers and to eat is allowed. (The interpretation of the southern tradition is: To take meals slightly after mid-day, that is when the shadow is two finger broad).[2]
- 3) After a meal if there is another chance to eat one can sit down and eat again. This is allowed as not impure.
- 4) To go to another village and to have .a second meal there on the same day is allowed.
- 5) To drink honey mixed with butter is allowed.
- 6) To drink half brewed wine is allowed.
- 7) To make a cloth mat the size of one's choice is allowed.
- 8) To practice what one has learned before is allowed.
- 9) To ask someone to inquire after a friend's health is allowed.
- 10) To accept gold and silver and to keep them is allowed.
