On one occasion, the Buddha was staying at the Nigrodharam monastery in Kapilavatthu. At the time, Mahapajapati Gotami, the step-mother and maternal aunt of the Buddha, ordered a weaver man to make a robe with intention to offer it to the Buddha. When the robe was already for offering, she brought the robe to the monastery and offered it to the Buddha. But the Buddha rejected and told her to offer the robe to the Sangha. As the offering to the Sangha will gain much merit than to offer it to the Buddha himself.
