43. The training rule on with a mouthful
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 spoke with food in their mouths. …
Final ruling
“‘I will not speak with food in my mouth,’ this is how you should train.”
One should not speak with food in one’s mouth. If a monk, out of disrespect, speaks with food in his mouth, 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 there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The third training rule is finished.
