2. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Bhikkhunīs | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
   CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Bhikkhunīs Rules governing the life of the bhikkhunīs are scattered throughout the Vinaya. Here we will focus on the rules in Cv.X that govern the interaction of the bhikkhus with the bhikkhunīs. The rules in this Khandhaka that affect only the bhikkhunīs and not the bhikkhus are best understood in the context of the training rules in the Bhikkhunī Pāṭimokkha … 
3. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Penance & Probation | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    … The Vinaya-mukha, however, insists that the word night here means a full 24-hour period of night-and-day (following the definition of night in MN 131; see the discussion in the conclusion to Chapter 5 in BMC1). The Vinaya-mukha’s interpretation seems closer to the Canon, in that many of the restrictions placed on a bhikkhu observing penance deal with activities … 
4. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Aniyata | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
   CHAPTER SIX Aniyata This term means “indefinite.” The rules in this section do not assign definite or fixed penalties, but instead give procedures by which the Community may pass judgment when a bhikkhu in uncertain circumstances is accused of having committed an offense. There are two training rules here. 1 Should any bhikkhu sit in private, alone with a woman on a seat secluded … 
5. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Pācittiya Four: The Food Chapter | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    … As we noted under NP 23, the Vinaya-mukha—arguing from the parallel between sugar cane juice, which is a juice drink, and sugar, which is made by boiling sugar cane juice—maintains that boiled juice would fit under sugar in the five tonics. This opinion, however, is not accepted in all Communities. In those that do accept it, pasteurized juice, juice concentrates, and … 
6. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Nissaggiya Pācittiya Three: The Bowl Chapter | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    … The Vinaya-mukha seems more correct in using the Great Standards to say that all forms of sugar and molasses, no matter what the source, would be included here. Thus maple syrup and beet-sugar would come under this rule. The Vinaya-mukha—arguing from the parallel between sugar cane juice, which is a juice drink, and sugar, which is made by boiling sugar … 
7. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Rains-residence | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    … The Vinaya-mukha interprets the allowance in these instances as valid only if one’s health is in serious jeopardy. Dangers to the holy life If anyone tries to tempt a bhikkhu, offering him wealth or a wife (or to be his wife), or if he sees abandoned treasure, and in any of these cases he reflects, “The Blessed One says that the mind … 
8. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Food | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
   CHAPTER FOUR Food The three main classes of food—staple foods, non-staple foods, and juice drinks—have already been discussed in BMC1 under the Food Chapter of the pācittiya rules. The question of making fruit allowable has been discussed under Pc 11. Here we will discuss aspects of the topic of food not covered in those passages. Cooking & storing foods One may not … 
9. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Pācittiya Two: The Living Plant Chapter | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    … The Vinaya-mukha, extracting a general principle from this rule, says, “This training rule was formulated to prevent negligence and to teach one to care for things. It should be taken as a general model.” Summary: When one has set a bed, bench, mattress, or stool belonging to the Community out in the open: Leaving its immediate vicinity without putting it away, arranging to … 
10. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Nissaggiya Pācittiya Two: The Silk Chapter | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
     … This is a recurrent theme throughout the Vinaya: that stylish, luxurious, or elegant articles are not in keeping with the bhikkhus’ way of life. The Vibhaṅga notes that black wool here covers both wool that is naturally black and wool that has been dyed that color. All other explanations for this training rule are the same as for the preceding rule, simply replacing “a … 
11. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Pāṭidesanīya | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    CHAPTER NINE Pāṭidesanīya This term means “to be acknowledged.” As a name for training rules, it means “entailing acknowledgement.” The four training rules here are unique in that they mention, as part of the rule, the words to be used in acknowledging the violation; the second rule is especially unique in that it depicts the violators as acknowledging their offense as a group. 1 … 
12. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Disciplinary Transactions | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    APPENDIX FOUR Disciplinary Transactions The transaction statements the Canon gives for these disciplinary transactions follow closely the details of the origin stories leading up to the first allowance for each transaction. As the Commentary points out, these statements do not fit all the cases where a particular disciplinary transaction can be applied. Thus, it recommends— when imposing one of these transactions on an individual … 
13. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Alms Bowls & Other Accessories | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    CHAPTER THREE Alms Bowls & Other Accessories Alms bowls The alms bowl is another requisite that a candidate for ordination must have before he can be accepted into the Community as a bhikkhu (Mv.I.70.1). Bowls made either of clay or iron are allowed, while bowls made of or with the following materials are prohibited: gold, silver, gems, lapis lazuli, crystal, bronze, glass … 
14. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Nissaggiya Pācittiya | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
     … A note on Thai practice The author of the Vinaya-mukha missed the Sub-commentary’s discussion of monastic residences under this rule and so came to the conclusion that none of the texts discuss the question of zones in a monastery. As a result, he formulated his own system, treating each separate monastic dwelling as a lay dwelling with a yard. Furthermore, he … 
15. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Pācittiya Three: The Exhortation Chapter | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    Three: The Exhortation Chapter 21 Should any bhikkhu, unauthorized, exhort the bhikkhunīs, it is to be confessed. “Now at that time, elder bhikkhus exhorting the bhikkhunīs became recipients of robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines for the sick. (According to the Commentary, if a bhikkhu gave a good exhortation to the bhikkhunīs, they would tell their supporters, who in turn would provide the exhorter with … 
16. The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II Vuṭṭhāna-vidhī for Saṅghādisesa Offenses | The Buddhist Monastic Code, Volumes I & II
    APPENDIX THREE Vuṭṭhāna-vidhī for Saṅghādisesa Offenses It would be impossible to give examples for all the various permutations that could conceivably happen when a bhikkhu has committed a saṅghādisesa offense and must negotiate the vuṭṭhāna-vidhī. Here, only some of the more likely permutations are given. Others can be inferred from what is given here. The best way to use this appendix would …
