After the Panamura Pansala, arrived at the Bandokyaya solitary kuti. The villagers welcomed me and gave pindapata. Later, a gentleman and his son came to bring tea and water from the well. Seems a wonderful opportunity.
The Buddha laid down protocols when visiting monks arrive at a new dwelling. Generally, they are to clean the dwelling and set it in order..
"If the dwelling is unoccupied, then—having knocked on the door, having waited a moment, having unfastened the bolt, having opened the door—he should watch while standing outside [C: in case he sees the tracks of a snake or a non-human being leaving]. If the dwelling is dirty or bed is stacked up on bed, bench on bench, with the bedding and seats piled on top, then if he is able, he should clean them. [C: If unable to clean the whole dwelling, he should clean just the section he plans to live in." [1]
