Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 40: To prepare mouthfuls of suitable proportions.
- 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 making elongated mouthfuls. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will make rounded mouthfuls,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should make rounded mouthfuls. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes an elongated mouthful, 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 it is a fresh food; if it is any kind of fruit; if it is a non-bean curry; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
5The tenth training rule is finished.
The fourth sub-chapter on respectfully is finished.
