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 ate almsfood picking here and there. … Almsfood is to be eaten in order. If a monk, out of disrespect, eats almsfood picking here and there, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. if it is unintentional; if he is not mindful; if he does not know; if he is sick; if he picks things out to give to others; if he picks things out to put it into someone else’s vessel; if it is a non-bean curry; if there is an emergency; if he is insane; if he is the first offender. The third training rule is finished.
