Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Covering with rice

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 curries with rice because they wanted more. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not cover my curries with rice because I want more,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not cover one’s curries with rice because one wants more. If a monk, out of disrespect, covers his curries with rice because he wants more, 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 the owners cover it and then give; if it is not out of a desire for more; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

5The sixth training rule is finished.
