Vinaya Piṭaka - Monastic Rules

Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 61: Not to teach the dhamma to someone who is wearing shoes unless they are ill.

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 wearing shoes. …

Final ruling

2“‘I will not give a teaching to anyone wearing shoes who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not give a teaching to anyone wearing shoes who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone who is not sick and who is standing on shoes, whose shoes are fastened, or whose shoes are loose, 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 first training rule is finished.
