- 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 gave teachings to people holding weapons. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not give a teaching to anyone holding a weapon who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”
Definitions
3A weapon: any kind of bow.
4One should not give a teaching to anyone holding a weapon who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone holding a weapon who is not sick, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Non-offenses
5There 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.
6The tenth training rule is finished.
The sixth sub-chapter on slurping is finished.
