The seventh subchapter on shoes is finished. The seventy-five rules of training are finished.

This is the summary:

“Evenly all around, covered, Well-restrained, lowered eyes; Lifted robe, laughing loudly, noise, And three on swaying.

Hands on hips, and covered head, Squatting on the heels, and clasping the knees; Respectfully, and attention on the bowl, The right proportion of bean curry, an even level.

Respectfully, and attention on the bowl, In order, the right proportion of bean curry; Making a heap, covering, Requesting, finding fault.

Not large, round, mouth, Whole hand, should not speak; Lifted, breaking up, cheek, Shaking, scattering rice.

And sticking out the tongue, Chomping, slurping; Hand, and bowl, and lips, With food, and containing rice.

To one holding a sunshade, The Buddhas do not give the true Teaching; Nor to one holding a staff, A knife, or a weapon.

Shoes, and sandals, And to one in a vehicle, and to one lying down; To one seated clasping their knees, To one with a headdress, and to one with a covered head.

The ground, on a low seat, standing, Behind, and next to the path; Not to be done while standing, On cultivated plants, and in water.”

This is the summary of the subchapters:

“Evenly all around, laughing loudly, Hands on hips, and also almsfood; Mouthfuls, and slurping, And with shoe as the seventh.”
