Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 50: i.e. The bhikkhus' Sekhiya 50 Not to smack the lips while eating.
- 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 made chomping sounds while eating. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not make a chomping sound while eating,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not make a chomping sound while eating. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes a chomping sound while eating, 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 tenth training rule is finished.
The fifth sub-chapter on mouthfuls is finished.
