Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 47: Not to shake the hands about when eating.
- 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 shaking their hands. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not eat shaking my hand,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not eat shaking one’s hand. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats shaking his hand, 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 he shakes the hand to discard trash; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
5The seventh training rule is finished.
