 [Discussion-AZC] from Jim Wilson, on the Precepts:
The Patimokkha is ritually chanted on the quarters of the moon, at which time the monastic community gathers to renew their commitments to these precepts and the way of life that they entail.
These precepts define the life of a Buddhist monastic and cover such areas as clothing, eating, deportment, and many details of the Buddhist monastic life.

 Buddhist Studies: 4. Q & A on Women in Buddhism
From a comparative study between the monks and nuns patimokkha (presented at an International Conference on Thai Studies, Chiengmai, Oct. 1417, 1996) it is shown that counting by section, bhikkhus observe eight sections as compared to seven sections by nuns.
In Parajika, the first section of the patimokkha which is concerned with the most severe offences, any monk or nun who has transgressed any one of these rules is "defeated" at the moment of committing that act.
One section exclusively for monks is called "Aniyata." In this section, there are two rules introduced by Visakha, the leading female lay supporter in early Buddhism.

The conjunction of the Dhamma with the Vinaya forms the core of the Buddhist religion: "Dhamma-vinaya" - "the doctrine and discipline" - is the name the Buddha gave to the religion he founded.
On the new-moon and full-moon uposatha days monks assemble to recite the Patimokkha rules.

Also included are the rules for ordination, for reciting the Patimokkha during uposatha days, and various procedures that monks are to perform during formal gatherings of the community.
Were it not for the Vinaya rules, specifically Patimokkha rules in vinaya pitaka, and for those who continue to abide by it's golden rules even today, there would be no Buddhism.
Rather, the rule comes from an incident where a monk was fondling the wife of a Brahman who had come to visit his hut, and the Buddha wanted women to feel safe in the knowledge that when visiting monasteries they would not be in danger of being molested.

 Annals of the Bhandarkar Oriental Researchnstitute, Poona
Omitting the 75 sekhiya rules the total of the Patimokkha precepts of conduct would come up to 152, If the theras of the first Buddhist Council had in their view a Patimokkha code in which the 75 Sekhiya rules had no place, the total of precepts in the code recognised by them was 152.
It may he readily granted that the codification of the Patimokkha rules in the extant shape was not accomplished immediately after the demise of the Buddha.
It is one thing to sa this and it is quite another that the rules themselves in a classified form had not been in existence from the earlier times.

Patimokkha is a recitation of the monastic code of 227 precepts, held each fortnight and attended by all monks.
I was moved not only by these original words of Lord Buddha, but also by the practice and dedication of this monk, and many others before him, which ensured that these teachings would be passed down through future generations.

Whereas the Patimokkha concerns the basic rules of Theravada Buddhist monastic life, the Khandhaka (the second major section of the Vinaya Pitaka) concerns its customs, which are no less essential to monastic life.

However, of the Indic recensions, only one -- the Pali -- is still a living tradition, recited fortnightly and put into practice by Theravadin bhikkhus throughout the world.
There are also offenses that are faults only as far as the Buddha's ordinances are concerned -- neither wrong nor damaging if committed by ordinary people; wrong only if committed by bhikkhus, on the grounds that they run counter to the Buddha's ordinances.

PATIMOKKHA, also Pratimoksa, is the name given to a set of two hundred and twenty seven rules to be observed by members of the Buddhist Order.
The Buddha also delivered the Ovada-Patimokkha Gatha --- or Patimokkha Exhortation --- a summary of sorts of the main points of the Dharma which the Buddha delivered to assembled monks before sending them out to proclaim the Doctrine (that summary appears below toward the bottom of the page).

"The Patimokkha should not be recited in the midst of the Community by one who is uninvited.

It is a companion to The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volume One (BMC1), which offers a similar treatment of the Patimokkha training rules.
This volume is an attempt to give an organized, detailed account of the training rules found in the Khandhakas that govern the life of bhikkhus, together with the traditions that have grown up around them.
In some cases, the Patimokkha rules and the explanations that accompany them in the Sutta Vibhanga seem to presuppose the Khandhaka rules; in other cases, the relationship is the other way around.

While the Mahavagga is presented as a kind of history of the developing Buddhist community, the Cullavagga supplements the details of the former to make an authoritative compilation of the Buddha's sayings regarding the discipline.
The commentary on the Patimokkha is divided into the Maha-vibhanga (“Great Division”; 227 rules for monks) and Bhikkhuni-vibhanga (“Division Concerning Nuns”).
They contain rules for ordination; rules for “observance days,” when all monks resident within the district were required to assemble for recitation of the Patimokkha; descriptions of rainy-season retreats, clothing, food, and medicines; judicial rules; rules for the instruction of nuns; and so forth.
