Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga - Sekhiya 73: Not to defecate or urinate standing up unless required by medical reasons.
- 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 were defecating and urinating while standing. …
Final ruling
2“‘When not sick, I will not defecate or urinate while standing,’ this is how you should train.”
3If one is not sick, one should not defecate or urinate while standing. If, out of disrespect, a monk who is not sick defecates or urinates while standing, 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 thirteenth training rule is finished.
