Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 45: Not to eat breaking up the mouthfuls.

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 ate breaking up mouthfuls. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not eat breaking up mouthfuls,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not eat breaking up mouthfuls. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats breaking up mouthfuls, 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 fifth training rule is finished.
