50. The training rule on chomping
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 made chomping sounds while eating. …
Final ruling
“‘I will not make a chomping sound while eating,’ this is how you should train.”
One should not make a chomping sound while eating. If a monk, out of disrespect, makes a chomping sound while eating, 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.
