Vinaya Pitaka

The Vinaya Pitaka, the first division of the Tipitaka, is the disciplinary framework upon which the Buddhist monastic community (Sangha) is built. It includes not only the rules governing the life of every Theravada Bhikkhus (monks) and Bhikkhunis (nuns), but also a host of procedures and conventions of etiquette that support harmonious relations, both among the monastics themselves, and between the monastics and their lay supporters, upon whom they depend for all their material needs.

The first part of Vinaya Pitaka is called Patimokkha. This is a list of disciplinary rules listed in various sections and is meant for confession.

When the Buddha first established the Sangha, the community initially lived in harmony without any codified rules of conduct. As the Sangha gradually grew in number and evolved into a more complex society, occasions inevitably arose when a member would act in an unskillful way. Whenever one of these cases was brought to the Buddha's attention, he would lay down a rule establishing a suitable punishment for the offense, as a deterrent to future misconduct. These are mentioned in Mahavagga and in Chulavagga.


Der Vinaya Pitaka, die erste Abteilung des Tipitaka, ist der disziplinäre Rahmen, auf dem die buddhistische Mönchsgemeinschaft (Sangha) aufgebaut ist. Es beinhaltet nicht nur die Regeln, die das Leben jedes Theravada Bhikkhus (Mönche) und Bhikkhunis (Nonnen) regeln, sondern auch eine Vielzahl von Verfahren und Konventionen der Etikette, die harmonische Beziehungen sowohl zwischen den Mönchen als auch zwischen den Mönchen und ihren Laien unterstützen Anhänger, auf die sie für all ihre materiellen Bedürfnisse angewiesen sind.

Der erste Teil von Vinaya Pitaka heißt Patimokkha. Dies ist eine Liste von Disziplinarregeln, die in verschiedenen Abschnitten aufgeführt sind und für die Beichte gedacht sind.

Als der Buddha zuerst den Sangha gründete, lebte die Gemeinschaft zunächst in Harmonie ohne irgendwelche kodifizierten Verhaltensregeln. Als der Sangha allmählich an Zahl wuchs und sich zu einer komplexeren Gesellschaft entwickelte, entstanden unvermeidlich Gelegenheiten, wenn ein Mitglied auf ungeschickte Weise handelte. Wann immer einer dieser Fälle dem Buddha zur Kenntnis gebracht wurde, legte er eine Regel fest, die eine angemessene Bestrafung für die Straftat als Abschreckung für zukünftiges Fehlverhalten vorsah. Diese werden in Mahavagga und in Chulavagga erwähnt.


Patimokkha(Discipline & Confession)[]

(RULES OF DISCIPLINE & CONFESSION)

'Patimokkham' It is the beginning, it is the face (mukham), it is the principal (pamukham) of beneficent/righteous(kusalanam) path/laws(dhammanam); therefore it is called 'patimokkham.'- Buddha (MV-Kh2-Ch3-Ver4).

These are the basic rules of conduct for bhikkhus and bhikkhunis. The very purpose of forming the monastic order(Sangha) was to have a system which would help evolve human consciousness to higher levels leading to self-illumination, enlightenment and finally nirvana(liberation). The new disciples joining the order have many deficiencies in their attitudes, thinking & conduct which may hinder the final goal, hence the disciplinary rules are required to pacify the emotions, passions, desires & attachments leading to calmness within, which is a pre-requisite to make any progress using Buddhist meditation.

The Patimokkha rules were recited on every fasting day (Uposatha) which was held on full moon and on new moon(moonless actually) i.e. every half month in the congregation. After recitation of each section the monastics were asked to confess their mistakes, if any, and be ready for atonement/punishment. Basically it is a system of confession & atonement leading to self-purification(holiness).
