PāliPali
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 standing while giving teachings to people who were sitting. … One should not give a teaching while standing to anyone sitting who is not sick. If a monk, out of disrespect, gives a teaching while standing to someone sitting who is not sick, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. if he is the first offender. The tenth training rule is finished.
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tena kho pana samayena chabbaggiyā bhikkhū ṭhitā nisinnassa dhammaṁ desenti …pe…. Na ṭhitena nisinnassa agilānassa dhammo desetabbo. Yo anādariyaṁ paṭicca ṭhito nisinnassa agilānassa dhammaṁ deseti, āpatti dukkaṭassa. ādikammikassāti. Dasamasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
“‘I will not give a teaching while standing to anyone sitting who is not sick,’ this is how you should train.”
