62. Upāhanāruḷhasikkhāpada

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū upāhanāruḷhassa dhammaṁ desenti …pe….

Wearing sandals 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 gave teachings to people wearing sandals. …

“Na upāhanāruḷhassa agilānassa dhammaṁ desessāmīti sikkhā karaṇīyā”ti.

Final ruling

“‘I will not give a teaching to anyone wearing sandals who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”

Na upāhanāruḷhassa agilānassa dhammo desetabbo. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca akkantassa vā paṭimukkassa vā omukkassa vā agilānassa dhammaṁ deseti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.

One should not give a teaching to anyone wearing sandals who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching to someone who is not sick and who is standing on sandals, whose sandals are fastened, or whose sandals are loose, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.

Anāpatti—
