22. The second training rule on hands on hips
Origin 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 had their hands on their hips while sitting in inhabited areas. …
Final ruling
“‘I will not have my hands on my hips while sitting in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”
One should not have one’s hands on one’s hips while sitting in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, has one or both hands on his hips while sitting in an inhabited area, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Non-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 has entered his dwelling; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The second training rule is finished.
