Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Covering the head

1Origin story
At 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 covering their heads with their upper robes while walking in inhabited areas. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not cover my head while walking in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not cover one’s head while walking in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, covers his head with his upper robe while walking in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

4Non-offenses
There is no offense: if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

5The third training rule is finished.
