Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 46: Not to eat stuffing the cheeks.
- 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 ate stuffing their cheeks. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not eat stuffing my cheeks,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not eat stuffing one’s cheeks. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats stuffing one or both cheeks, 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 any kind of fruit; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
5The sixth training rule is finished.
