One day, the Buddha visited. Ven. Rahula in his monastic cell. Ven. Rahula
received the Buddha with due honour, prepared a seat for Him. and brought water
to wash the Buddha’s feet. The Buddha took that water little by little in a
small vessel, pouring water on His feet with it. He placed the small vessel
upside down and asked Ven.Rahual’
“Is there any water in this little vessel now?”
Ven.Rahula replied:
“As it is turned upside down there is no water in it at all’”
The Buddha addressed Ven. Rahula and said:
Rahula, just as no water remains in a vessel that is upturned not even a vestige
of virtue will remain in a person who utters lies”
