27. Sakkaccapaṭiggahaṇasikkhāpada

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū asakkaccaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhanti chaḍḍetukāmā viya …pe….

Not receiving respectfully 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 receiving almsfood contemptuously, as if wanting to throw it away. …

“Sakkaccaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggahessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

Final ruling

“‘I will receive almsfood respectfully,’ this is how you should train.”

Sakkaccaṁ piṇḍapāto paṭiggahetabbo. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca asakkaccaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ paṭiggaṇhāti chaḍḍetukāmo viya, āpatti dukkaṭassa.

Almsfood is to be received respectfully. If a monk, out of disrespect, receives almsfood contemptuously, as if wanting to throw it away, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—
