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 eating almsfood while looking here and there, and they did not know whether people were still giving or whether they had received too much. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will eat almsfood with attention on the almsbowl,’ this is how you should train.”

3Almsfood is to be eaten with attention on the bowl. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats almsfood while looking here and there, 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.
