<b> <c c="#a00149">Bhaddāli</c> </b> <br>When the Buddha, at Jetavana, laid down the rule that monks should eat one meal a day and that in the morning, Bhaddāli protested and refused to keep this rule because he said that, in so eating, he would be a prey to scruples and misgivings. For three months he avoided the Buddha, until, just before the Buddha was starting on a journey, Bhaddāli, acting on the advice of his fellow monks, confessed his fault to the Buddha and begged for forgiveness. <c c="#3b6bd3">MN.i.437ff.</c> The Buddha praised this action and preached to him the Bhaddāli Sutta.<br> <br> </deftext>
