Introduction to the Patimokkha Rules

Communal Harmony

To persist — after the third announcement of a formal rebuke in the
Community — in trying to form a schismatic group or in taking up a
position that can lead to schism is a saºghādisesa offense. (Sg 10)

To persist — after the third announcement of a formal rebuke in the
Community — in supporting a potential schismatic is a saºghādisesa
offense. (Sg 11)

Community — in being difficult to admonish is a saºghādisesa offense. (Sg 12)

To persist — after the third announcement of a formal rebuke in the
Community — in criticizing a banishment transaction performed against
oneself is a saºghādisesa offense. (Sg 13)

When a trustworthy female lay follower accuses a bhikkhu of having
committed a pārājika, saºghādisesa, or pācittiya offense while sitting
alone with a woman in a private, secluded place, the Community should
investigate the charge and deal with the bhikkhu in accordance with
whatever he admits to having done. (Ay 1)

When a trustworthy female lay follower accuses a bhikkhu of having
committed a saºghādisesa or pācittiya offense while sitting alone with
a woman in an unsecluded but private place, the Community should
investigate the charge and deal with the bhikkhu in accordance with
whatever he admits to having done. (Ay 2)

Telling an unordained person of another bhikkhu’s serious offense —
unless one is authorized by the Community to do so — is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 9)

Persistently replying evasively or keeping silent in order to
conceal one’s own offenses when being questioned in a meeting of the
Community — after a formal charge of evasive speech or being
frustrating has been brought against one — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 12)

If a Community official is innocent of bias: Criticizing him within earshot of another bhikkhu is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 13)

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 have it put away, or taking leave is a
pācittiya offense. (Pc 14)

When one has spread bedding out in a dwelling belonging to the
Community: Departing from the monastery without putting it away,
arranging to have it put away, or taking leave is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 15)

Intruding on another bhikkhu’s sleeping or sitting place in a
dwelling belonging to the Community, with the sole purpose of making
him uncomfortable and forcing him to leave, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 16)

Community — when one’s primary impulse is anger — is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 17)

unplanked loft in a dwelling belonging to the Community, is a pācittiya

the sake of worldly gain — when in fact that is not the case — is a
pācittiya offense. (Pc 24)

Deliberately tricking another bhikkhu into breaking Pācittiya 35, in hopes of finding fault with him, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 36)

Speaking or acting disrespectfully after having been admonished by
another bhikkhu for a breach of the training rules is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 54)

Agitating to re-open an issue, knowing that it was properly dealt with, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 63)

Not informing another bhikkhu of a serious offense that one knows a
third bhikkhu has committed — out of a desire to protect the third
bhikkhu either from having to undergo the penalty or from the jeering
remarks of other bhikkhus — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 64)

Acting as the preceptor in the full Acceptance (ordination) of a
person one knows to be less than 20 years old is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 65)

Refusing — after the third announcement of a formal rebuke in a
meeting of the Community — to relinquish the evil view that there is
nothing wrong in intentionally transgressing the Buddha’s ordinances is
a pācittiya offense. (Pc 68)

Communing, affiliating, or lying down under the same roof with a
bhikkhu who has been suspended and not been restored — knowing that
such is the case — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 69)

Befriending, receiving services from, communing, or lying down under
the same roof with an expelled novice — knowing that he has been
expelled — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 70)

When being admonished by another bhikkhu with regard to a training
rule formulated in the Vinaya, saying something as a ploy to excuse
oneself from training under the rule is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 71)

Criticizing the discipline in the presence of another bhikkhu, in hopes of preventing its study, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 72)

Using half-truths to deceive others into believing that one is
ignorant of the rules in the Pāṭimokkha — after one has already heard
the Pāṭimokkha in full three times, and a transaction exposing one’s
deceit has been brought against one — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 73)

Giving a blow to another bhikkhu when impelled by anger — except in self-defense — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 74)

Making a threatening gesture against another bhikkhu when impelled by anger — except in self-defense — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 75)

broken a rule, when one has no other purpose in mind, is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 77)

Eavesdropping on bhikkhus involved in an argument over an issue —
with the intention of using what they say against them — is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 78)

Complaining about a Community transaction to which one gave one’s
consent — if one perceives the transaction as having been carried out
in accordance with the rule — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 79)

Getting up and leaving a meeting of the Community in the midst of a
valid transaction that one knows to be valid — without having first
given one’s consent to the transaction and with the intention of
invalidating it — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 80)

After participating in a Community transaction giving robe-cloth to
a Community official: Complaining that the Community acted out of
favoritism is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 81)

When the Community is dealing formally with an issue, the full
Community must be present, as must all the individuals involved in the
issue; the proceedings must follow the patterns set out in the Dhamma
and Vinaya. (As 1)

If the Community unanimously believes that a bhikkhu is innocent of
a charge made against him, they may issue a transaction declaring him
innocent on the basis of his memory of the events. (As 2)

If the Community unanimously believes that a bhikkhu was insane
while committing offenses against the rules, they may issue a
transaction absolving him of any responsibility for the offenses. (As 3)

If a bhikkhu commits an offense, he should willingly undergo the
appropriate penalty in line with what he actually did and the actual
seriousness of the offense. (As 4)

If an important dispute cannot be settled by a unanimous decision,
it should be submitted to a vote. The opinion of the majority, if in
accord with the Dhamma and Vinaya, is then considered decisive. (As 5)

If a bhikkhu admits to an offense only after being interrogated in a
formal meeting, the Community should carry out a further-punishment
transaction against him, rescinding it only when he has mended his
ways. (As 6)

If, in the course of a dispute, both sides act in ways unworthy of
contemplatives, and the sorting out of the penalties would only prolong
the dispute, the Community as a whole may make a blanket confession of
its light offenses. (As 7)

The Etiquette of a Contemplative

Training a novice or lay person to recite passages of Dhamma by rote is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 4)

Handing food or medicine to a person ordained in another religion is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 41)

Sending another bhikkhu away so that he won’t witness any misconduct one is planning to indulge in is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 42)

To sit down intruding on a man and a woman in their private quarters
— when one or both are sexually aroused, and when another bhikkhu is
not present — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 43)

Watching a field army — or similar large military force — on active
duty, unless there is a suitable reason, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 48)

Staying more than three consecutive nights with an army on active
duty — even when one has a suitable reason to be there — is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 49)

Bathing more frequently than once a fortnight when residing in the
middle Ganges Valley, except on certain occasions, is a pācittiya
offense. (Pc 57)

Traveling by arrangement with a group of thieves from one village to
another — knowing that they are thieves — is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 66)

Entering a king’s sleeping chamber unannounced, when both the king and queen are in the chamber, is a pācittiya offense. (Pc 83)

Picking up a valuable, or having it picked up, with the intention of
putting it in safe keeping for the owner — except when one finds it in

A bhikkhu should wear his upper and lower robes even all around. (Sk 1 & 2)

There are five nikayas (collections) of suttas:

The Vinaya Pitaka, the first division of the Tipitaka,
is the textual framework upon which the monastic community (Sangha) is
built. It includes not only the rules governing the life of every
Theravada bhikkhu (monk) and bhikkhuni (nun), 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.

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. The Buddha’s
standard reprimand was itself a powerful corrective:

It is not fit, foolish man, it is not becoming, it is not proper, it
is unworthy of a recluse, it is not lawful, it ought not to be done.
How could you, foolish man, having gone forth under this Dhamma and
Discipline which are well-taught, [commit such and such offense]?… It
is not, foolish man, for the benefit of un-believers, nor for the
increase in the number of believers, but, foolish man, it is to the
detriment of both unbelievers and believers, and it causes wavering in
some.

— The Book of the Discipline, Part I, by I.B. Horner (London: Pali Text Society, 1982), pp. 36-37.

The monastic tradition and the rules upon which it is built are
sometimes naïvely criticized — particularly here in the West — as
irrelevant to the “modern” practice of Buddhism. Some see the Vinaya as
a throwback to an archaic patriarchy, based on a hodge-podge of ancient
rules and customs — quaint cultural relics that only obscure the
essence of “true” Buddhist practice. 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. Were it not for the
Vinaya, and for those who continue to keep it alive to this day, there
would be no Buddhism.

It helps to keep in mind that the name the Buddha gave to the spiritual path he taught was “Dhamma-vinaya” — the Doctrine (Dhamma) and Discipline (Vinaya)
— suggesting an integrated body of wisdom and ethical training. 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. Lay practitioners will find in
the Vinaya Pitaka many valuable lessons concerning human nature,
guidance on how to establish and maintain a harmonious community or
organization, and many profound teachings of the Dhamma itself. But its
greatest value, perhaps, lies in its power to inspire the layperson to
consider the extraordinary possibilities presented by a life of true
renunciation, a life lived fully in tune with the Dhamma.

I. Suttavibhanga — the basic rules of conduct (Patimokkha) for bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, along with the “origin story” for each one.
II. Khandhaka
- A. Mahavagga
  — in addition to rules of conduct and etiquette for the Sangha, this
  section contains several important sutta-like texts, including an
  account of the period immediately following the Buddha’s Awakening, his
  first sermons to the group of five monks, and stories of how some of
  his great disciples joined the Sangha and themselves attained Awakening.
- B. Cullavagga
  — an elaboration of the bhikkhus’ etiquette and duties, as well as the
  rules and procedures for addressing offences that may be committed
  within the Sangha.
III. Parivara — A
recapitulation of the previous sections, with summaries of the rules
classified and re-classified in various ways for instructional purposes.

Suttavibhanga

(selected texts)

The Suttavibhanga contains the basic training rules for bhikkhus and
bhikkhunis, along with the “origin story” for each one. These rules are
summarized in the Patimokkha, and amount to 227 rules for the bhikkhus, 311 for the bhikkhunis. The Patimokkkha rules are grouped as follows:

Parajika: rules entailing expulsion from the Sangha (Defeat) (4 for bhikkhus, 8 for bhikkhunis)
Sanghadisesa: rules entailing an initial and subsequent meeting of the Sangha (13, 17)
Aniyata (indefinite) rules (2, 0)
Nissaggiya pacittiya: rules entailing forfeiture and confession (30, 30)
Pacittiya: rules entailing confession (92, 166)
Patidesaniya: rules entailing acknowledgement (4, 8)
Sekhiya: rules of training (75, 75)
Adhikarana samatha: rules for settling disputes (7, 7)

Janahitha Chetana
Andolan Phase II

Second phase
that is being held from November 1 to December 31 of BSP’s 3-month-long campaign takes off

The
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Monday launched its three-month
long “Janhit Chetna” campaign across the nation.

Though
the campaign is a prelude to the Lok Sabha elections, it will
also set the tone for the Assembly elections to various states, due in
the coming months. During this campaign, BSP cadres highlighted the
achievements of the Mayawati government in Uttar Pradesh and popularised
the success of the social engineering formula that catapulted the BSP
to a majority in the UP Assembly elections.

The
campaign has been designed to corner the UPA government on
issues of price rise and unemployment. It also explained to voters
why the BSP withdrew support from the UPA government on the issue of
nuclear deal.

“The
campaign was two-pronged. On one hand, the success of social engineering
and underline the party’s new ideology of Sarvjan Hitaye, Sarvjan Sukhaye among
the people was highlighted and made an effort to bring all caste group on one
platform. On the other hand,They planed to highlight the governance of the
Mayawati government across the country and contrast it with the lack of
governance in non-BSP-ruled states and also the UPA government,” .

Issues
those were specific to particular states was included in the campaign, after
clearance from the party high command.

In
the first phase of the “Janhit Chetna” campaign that was be held from September
1 to October 31, the BSP organised dharnas and
demonstrations at all district headquarters.

“They
were held on different dates and senior leaders and ministers participated in
them,” .

In
the second phase that will be held from November 1 to December 31, the party
will organise similar demonstrations in all Vidhan Sabha segments.

The
idea is to ensure that all districts and all Assembly segments
are covered during the campaign. In the final phase, demonstrations on
larger scales will be held at all state capitals and Ms Mayawati is
expected to address most of the meetings in this phase.

During
the campaign, the BSP will “inform” its voters how the Congress has been misusing its power at the
Centre to influence the CBI and harass the UP chief minister.

“This
is a clear attempt to check the growth of BSP and prevent Ms
Mayawati from becoming the Prime Minister after the Lok Sabha
elections. The BJP is hand in glove with the Congress on this issue but
we will expose their conspiracy before the public,” .

Booklets
listing the achievements of the Mayawati government will be distributed during
the three-month long campaign.

Supreme Court bench declines to hear Uttar Pradesh plea

New
Delhi, Nov 12 (IANS) The Supreme Court Wednesday declined to hear a
petition by the Uttar Pradesh government seeking the transfer to the
apex court of cases pending before the Allahabad High Court challenging
its notification to demolish government buildings to set up memorials
to the late Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) founder Kashi Ram.

A bench of Justice Altamas Kabir and Justice Markandey Katju referred the matter to another bench.

It was hearing the petition seeking the transfer of 10 writ
petitions challenging the state government’s action before the high
court.

During the hearing, Katju said the court was politically neutral and
was not influenced by any of the political parties - be it Uttar
Pradesh’s ruling BSP, the Congress or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

He asked senior counsel Abhishek Singhvi, appearing for the
petitioner, Gomti Nagar Jan Kalyan Maha Samiti, to spell out which
statute was being violated by the action of the Uttar Pradesh
government.

He said the court could intervene only if there was any violation of
law and added that a popularly elected government was entitled to
undertake any construction activity within the law. ‘If you feel
aggrieved by its actions, then vote it out,’ he said.

The petitioner said there could not be any objection if the
demolition of the government structures were meant to create public
utilities. But razing government buildings and encroaching on public
parks for building memorials to the late BSP leader, and that too at
colossal expenditure from the exchequer, could not be described as an
act of public utility, the petitioner argued.
