48. The training rule on scattering rice
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 scattered rice while eating. …
Final ruling
“‘I will not eat scattering rice,’ this is how you should train.”
One should not scatter rice while eating. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats scattering rice, 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 discards rice while discarding trash; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The eighth training rule is finished.
