Being unrestrained
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 were playing with their hands and feet while walking in inhabited areas. …
Final ruling
“‘I will be well-restrained while walking in inhabited areas,’ this is how you should train.”
One should be well-restrained while walking in an inhabited area. If a monk, out of disrespect, plays with his hands or feet 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 he is insane; if he is the first offender.
The fifth training rule is finished.
