| | 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. | | | Legend has it that the huge volume of teachings was recited from memory, with Ananda reciting the suttas and Upali reciting the Vinaya. | | | At the heart of the Vinaya is a set of rules known as Patimokkha (Pali), or Pratimoksha (Sanskrit). |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | It is by no means absolutely fixed and invariant in all times and places in all its details, and it was not set forth as a unified set of rules by the Buddha himself, although its main outlines have remained unchanged, and its growth is intimately associated with the deeds and statements of the Buddha. |

| | Vinaya 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. | | | Were it not for the Vinaya, and for those who continue to keep it alive to this day, there would be no Buddhism. | | | Some see the Vinaya as a throwback to an archaic patriarchy, based on a hodge-podge of ancient rules and customs that only obscure the essence of "true" Buddhist practice. |

| | Afterwards seven-hundred monks recited the Dhamma and Vinaya and this recital came to be known as the Sattasati because seven-hundred monks had taken part in it. | | | Indeed, it was his express wish that the Buddha always relate all of his discourses to him and although he was not yet an Arahant, he deliberately committed to memory and word for word all the Buddha's sermons with which he exhorted monks, nuns and his lay followers. | | | One of the most significant achievements of this Buddhist assembly and one which was to bear fruit for centuries to come, was the Emperor's sending forth of monks, well versed in the Buddha's Dhamma and Vinaya who could recite all of it by heart, to teach it in nine different countries. |

| | Vinaya and 10 Precepts |
| | Theravada is primarily a religion of monks, since the Theravada tradition understands Buddhism as a method for attaining enlightenment, and monks are those that follow that method according to the guidelines laid down by the Buddha himself. | | | According to the principles of the Vinaya, those posessions of monks are limited to the things needed for the maintenance of life. | | | Still, how strictly one must adhere to the rules of the Vinaya is a topic of great importance, and it is one that helps to distinguish the Theravada from the Mahayana traditions of Buddhism. |

| | What Buddhists Believe - What is Vinaya? |
| | Vinaya is the disciplinary code for self training laid down by the Buddha for monks and nuns to observe. | | | Many people, especially those in the West who have accepted the Buddhist way of life, having read the Vinaya rules in the texts, think that the monks must follow all the rules in toto in any part of the world, in exactly the same manner as they were recorded in the texts. | | | Vinaya Pitaka and its commentary contain many significant stories about how and why certain rules were laid down by the Buddha. |

| | Vinaya |
| | In the Mangala Sutta the Buddha teaches that one should be well-trained in Vinaya. | | | The Vinaya text declares, “Asuddha hotipuggalo aññataram pārājikam sammāpanno.” The meaning is that those who accuse monks of immorality are themselves impure. | | | So it is futile to learn the monks’ Vinaya, since he or she will criticise the conduct of wayward monks, interfering in the affairs of others. |

| | Liberation |
| | Thus we see in the Vinaya books (Mahavagga, Chapter 1) that the first one thousand and sixty Arahant disciples of the Buddha all attained enlightenment from hearing the Buddha’s discourse only. | | | For example, in the Vinaya books (Cullavagga, Chapter 7), we find that the 31 men despatched to murder the Buddha all attained stream entry when the Buddha preached to them. | | | The Suttas and Vinaya show clearly that all people who attained the first stage of Arya-hood did so by listening to the Buddha's discourses. |

| | Walpola Piyananda, Abbot of Dharma Vijaya, Los Angeles, shared his fear that, by cutting up the vinaya, the monks would be "dismembering" the Buddha, since the Buddha had appointed the vinaya as Teacher after his physical death. | | | Various passages in the Theravāda literature recount a conversation between the Thera Mahinda and King Devānampiya-Tissa of Ceylon concerning the progress of Buddhism's establishment on the island. | | | Of course, adaptation of the vinaya to new circumstances occurred almost from the beginning of the Buddha's movement: "The Master did not hesitate to modify the rules to make the life of monks and nuns easier in different climatic and social conditions" (Wijayaratna 1990:53). |
