Vinaya — Regras dos Monges (Bhikkhu Vibhaṅga) — Wearing a headdress

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 with headdresses. …

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

3Definitions
A headdress:

4if the ends of the hair are not showing it is a headdress.

5One should not give a teaching to anyone with a headdress who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone with a headdress who is not sick, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

6Non-offenses
There is no offense: if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if he teaches the person after having them uncover the ends of their hair; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.

7The sixth training rule is finished.
