Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Making an overlarge mouthful

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 eating, making large mouthfuls. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not make mouthfuls that are too large,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not make mouthfuls that are too large. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes a large mouthful, 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 it is fresh food; if it is any kind of fruit; if it is a non-bean curry; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

5The ninth training rule is finished.
