Working Out On The Eight Precepts

from Dhamma-Vinaya Patipadā Podcast · host Bhante Joe

This Sutta and Vinaya study discusses controversies regarding working out and keeping the precept not to eat after solar noon.***Note: the distinction between milk fat and milk protein appears to be the reason why milk is not allowed after noon, but butter is. Also note that whey protein powder is derived from milk.***Relevant Sutta and Vinaya Passages:Majjhima Nikāya (MN)MN 2 – Sabbāsava Sutta (All the Effluents) — Thanissaro Bhikkhuhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/MN/MN2.htmlPātimokkha Rules (Vinaya)Pācittiya 37 (Pc 37) — Food at the wrong time (BMC discussion & full rule context)https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/bmc/Section0019.html#37Nissaggiya Pācittiya 23 (NP 23) — The five tonics (7-day limit)Index: https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/bmc/Section0030.htmlMedicine chapter note: https://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/bmc/Section0044.htmlMahāvagga (Vinaya)Mv VI (Bhesajjakkhandhaka) — Allowance of the five products of a cowhttps://www.dhammatalks.org/vinaya/Mv/MvVI.html (see “The allowance of the Five Products of the Cow”)Cullavagga / Khandhaka (Vinaya)Senāsanakkhandhaka — Assigning lodgings (Dabba Mallaputta)https://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-kd16Saṅghādisesa (Vinaya)Saṅghādisesa 8 — Background with lodging-assignment formulahttps://suttacentral.net/pli-tv-bu-vb-ss8/en/brahmali
