Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 43: Not to speak with a full mouth.

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 spoke with food in their mouths. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not speak with food in my mouth,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not speak with food in one’s mouth. If a monk, out of disrespect, speaks with food in his mouth, 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 third training rule is finished.
