Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 62: Not to teach the dhamma to someone who is wearing sandals unless they are ill.
- 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 wearing sandals. …
Final ruling
2“‘I will not give a teaching to anyone wearing sandals who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”
3One should not give a teaching to anyone wearing sandals who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone who is not sick and who is standing on sandals, whose sandals are fastened, or whose sandals 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 second training rule is finished.
