Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Sticking out the tongue

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 ate sticking out their tongues. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not eat sticking out my tongue,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not eat sticking out one’s tongue. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats sticking out his tongue, 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 ninth training rule is finished.
