Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 15: i.e. The bhikkhus' Sekhiya 15 Not to swing the body when sitting in inhabited areas.
- Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Brahmali. (More copyright information)
Origin story
1At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery. At that time the monks from the group of six were swaying and leaning their bodies while walking in inhabited areas. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not sway my body while walking in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not sway one’s body while walking in an inhabited area; one should walk keeping one’s body straight. If a monk, out of disrespect, sways and leans his body while walking in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Non-offenses
4There is no offense: if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if there are dangers; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
5The fifth training rule is finished.
