Various kinds of acts involving violence or injury to living beings are perpetrated in all ways, in all directions - upper, lower and lateral.
ANNOTATION 17. The Buddhist monks did not cook their meals themselves, but got them cooked by others. They also used to construct monasteries themselves and got them constructed by others as well; they used to eat meat considering that it was not a sin to do so.
Some mendicants used to indulge in violence for the sake of the 'Sarhgha (i.e. the religious order), and did not consider it sinful.
Some mendicants did not do violence to vegetable life.
Some mendicants did not accept food especially prepared for them, but drank animate water.
Some others, however, drank animate water, but did not bathe in it.
The present aphorism refers to these conventions.
