	Vinaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Vinaya (a word in Pali as well as in Sanskrit, with literal meaning 'discipline') is the textual framework for the Buddhist monastic community, or sangha.
		At the heart of the Vinaya is a set of rules known as Patimokkha (Pali), or Pratimoksha (Sanskrit).
		The Vinaya was orally passed down from the Buddha to his disciples.

	Robert Thurman \| The Vinaya Discipline of Buddhist Monasticism
		The Buddhist Vinaya is a textual and preceptual institution that has guided the individual and communal life of monastic Buddhists for over 2, 500 years in a great variety of cultures.
		In the Theravada Vinaya, there are 227 rules of conduct, arranged in seven groupings, the majority of which are phrased in negative terms, as offences which entail certain penalties.
		After this opening story of the visit at Veranja, the Vinaya begins with the story of poor Sudinna, apparently the first monk to be expelled from the Community, "defeated" in his monastic avocation by his commission of sexual intercourse with his former wife.

	Vinaya Pitaka
		The Vinaya Pitaka, the first division of the Tipitaka, is the textual framework upon which the monastic community (Sangha) is built.
		This misguided view overlooks one crucial fact: it is thanks to the unbroken lineage of monastics who have consistently upheld and protected the rules of the Vinaya for almost 2,600 years that we find ourselves today with the luxury of receiving the priceless teachings of Dhamma.
		The Vinaya is thus an indispensable facet and foundation of all the Buddha's teachings, inseparable from the Dhamma, and worthy of study by all followers — lay and ordained, alike.

	Overview of the Tipitaka
		Vinaya Pitaka The Vinaya Pitaka, which is regarded as the sheet anchor of the Holy Order, deals mainly with the rules and regulations of the Order of Bhikkhus (monks) and Bhikkhunis (nuns).
		One who reads the Vinaya Pitaka cannot but be impressed by the democratic constitution of the Sangha, their holding of possessions in common, the exceptionally high moral standard of the Bhikkhus, and the unsurpassed administrative abilities of the Buddha, who anticipated even the present Parliamentary system.
		Abhidhamma Pitaka The Abhidhamma Pitaka is the most important and most interesting of the three containing as it does the profound philosophy of the Buddha's teaching in contrast to the simpler discourses in the Sutta Pitaka.

		The Vinaya is thus an indispensible facet and foundation of all the Buddha's teachings, inseparable from the Dhamma, and worthy of study by all followers -- lay and ordained, alike.
		The Vinaya contains the code of rules by which monks and nuns are to conduct themselves individually (the Patimokkha), as well as the rules, procedures and forms of etiquette that are necessary to support harmonious relations, both among the monastics themselves, and between the monastics and their lay supporters, upon whom they depend.

	Chapter Six
		The Vinaya is seen by some as a throwback to an archaic patriarchy, based on a hodge-podge of arbitrary rules and customs that only obscure the essence of "true" Buddhist practice.
		The Sutta Pitaka, the second division of the Tipitaka, consists of over 10,000 suttas, or discourses, delivered by the Buddha and his close disciples during the Buddha's forty-five year teaching career, as well as many additional verses by other members of the Sangha.
		Whereas the Sutta and Vinaya Pitakas are characterized by their practical teachings regarding the Buddhist path to Awakening, the Abhidhamma Pitaka presents an almost scientific analysis of the underpinnings of that very path.

		The second part is called the Vinaya Pitaka and it contains all the rules the Buddha laid down for monks and nuns.

	Short Summary of Tibetan Buddhism - Page 2 - Buddha Chat :: Buddhism Discussion Forum
		Vinaya literally means "discipline", the term generally refers to monastic discipline and especially to observance of the ethical codes that regulate the life of an ordained monk or nun.
		The Vinaya Pitaka defines a means by which an individual monastic adherent may achieve the soteriological goal of Buddhism and it determines the manner in which the collective community may sustain its special identity.
		Firstly, the commonly associated practice with the Hinayana's Vinaya are condensed within the practice of Pratimoksha vows, because the vows received by the Hinayanist are meant to abandon harm for others, by generating a thought of renunciation from this ocean of Samsara.
