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 laughing loudly while sitting in inhabited areas. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not laugh loudly while sitting in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not laugh loudly while sitting in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, laughs loudly while sitting 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 he merely smiles when something is funny; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

5The second training rule is finished.
