[376] And how, bhikkhus, is a bhikkhu clearly comprehending? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu acts with clear comprehension when going forward and returning; he acts with clear comprehension when looking ahead and looking away; he acts with clear comprehension when bending and stretching his limbs; he acts with clear comprehension when wearing the outer robe (saṅghāṭi), carrying the bowl and robes; he acts with clear comprehension when eating, drinking, chewing, and tasting; he acts with clear comprehension when defecating and urinating; he acts with clear comprehension when walking, standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking, speaking, and keeping silent. Thus indeed, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu acts with clear comprehension. Mindful and clearly comprehending, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu should await his time. This is our instruction to you.
