Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Lying down

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 gave teachings to people who were lying down. …

2Final ruling
“‘I will not give a teaching to anyone lying down who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”

3One should not give a teaching to anyone lying down who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone who is lying down and who is not sick, even if they are just lying on the ground, 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 fourth training rule is finished.
