Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Opening the mouth

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 opened their mouths without bringing a mouthful to it. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not open my mouth without bringing a mouthful to it,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not open one’s mouth without bringing a mouthful to it. If a monk, out of disrespect, opens his mouth without bringing a mouthful to it, 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 first training rule is finished.
