45. The training rule on breaking up mouthfuls
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 ate breaking up mouthfuls. …
Final ruling
“‘I will not eat breaking up mouthfuls,’ this is how you should train.”
One should not eat breaking up mouthfuls. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats breaking up mouthfuls, 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 it is a fresh food; if it is any kind of fruit; if it is a non-bean curry; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The fifth training rule is finished.
