Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Not making rounded mouthfuls

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 elongated mouthfuls. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will make rounded mouthfuls,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should make rounded mouthfuls. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes an elongated 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 tenth training rule is finished.

6The fourth subchapter on respectfully is finished.
