Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 48: Not to scatter the rice when eating.

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 scattered rice while eating. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not eat scattering rice,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not scatter rice while eating. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats scattering rice, 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 discards rice while discarding trash; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.


5The eighth training rule is finished.
