Alms-gathering monks were going for alms improperly dressed and behaving carelessly, causing a monk to be falsely accused of violating a woman. The Buddha rebukes the monks and lays down detailed rules for alms-gathering monks: how to dress, enter a village, stand at a dwelling, accept almsfood, and return. The rules govern proper deportment and respectful conduct while collecting alms.
