Prohibition of Bathing in Buddhism

 Gautam Buddha banned his Buddhist Monks from taking bath, and

also Prohibited Buddhists from using *Perfume

Was Bathing daily a Brahminical Superstition?

Thread (1/6) 

Buddhist Monks thought all of public property was their to use, such selfishness caused trouble to the King of Magadha

So, Gautam Buddha made a rule,

"Buddhists are allowed to take bath, only after half a month has passed"

It became an offense to bathe daily in Buddhism

(2/6) 

Under certain conditions, a Buddhist is allowed to take bath before half a month has passed

But if the Buddhist takes bath before, there is an offense of Expiation 

(3/6) 

There is no offense if the Buddhist takes bath after half a month, or more than a month,

or doesn't take bath at all. That is only counted as wrong conduct

There is no offense if the Buddhist takes bath, accidentally, by mistake

Among the 8 percepts of Buddhism, 

the 7th percept has prohibited Buddhists from using Perfume or Flower

The same has also banned Buddhists from listening to Music, Singing or Dancing

Life is Suffering. So, we all must suffer, every time, to prove that Buddha was right

Gautam Buddha said, in Tevijja Sutta,

"Hindu Scriptures are Useless, and a Disaster. Anyone who follows Hindu scriptures, is a Blind Fool"

Maybe because Hindu scriptures prioritize hygiene and cleanliness?

Using Toilets is also forbidden by Buddha

Street Shitting in India was started by Buddha

because Buddhist Nuns were Aborting their children in Toilets. (But who impregnated them?)

Same chapter in Pali - भिक्खुनियो तत्थेव गब्भं पतेन्ति।

All these Bhikkunis were from Sixth Rank (छब्बग्गिया)
