Not being well-covered
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 did not cover their bodies while walking in inhabited areas. …
Final ruling
“‘I will be well-covered while walking in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”
One should be well-covered while walking in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, does not cover his body while walking 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 there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The third training rule is finished.
