Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 49: Not to poke the tongue out 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 sticking out their tongues. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not eat sticking out my tongue,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not eat sticking out one’s tongue. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats sticking out his tongue, 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 ninth training rule is finished.
