In this section, I briefly present some main points of the Vinaya Pitaka. The great division in which are incorporated injunctions and admonitions of the Buddha on modes of conduct, and restraints on both bodily and verbal actions of bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, which form rules of discipline for them, is called the Vinaya 笔颈峁璦办补. Far more than merely being a record of rules the Vinaya 笔颈峁璦办补 also narrates the stories behind the origin of each rule, thus providing a fairly detailed and comprehensive account of the Buddha鈥檚 solution to the question of how to maintain common harmony within a large and diverse holy community.

There are four divisions of the Vinaya 笔颈峁璦办补 as below.

1. 厂耻迟迟补惫颈产丑补峁単补

The 厂耻迟迟补惫颈产丑补峁単补 includes the complete set of rules for the 厂补峁単丑补, along with the origin story for each one. The rules are summarized in the 笔腻峁璱尘辞办办丑补, and amount to 227 rules for the bhikkhus, 311 for the 产丑颈办办丑耻苍墨蝉.

2. Khandhaka (Mahavagga)

The Khandhaka contains several Suttas like texts, including the Buddha鈥檚 account of the period immediately following his awakening, his first sermons to the group of five monks, and stories about how some of the Buddha鈥檚 great disciples joined the 厂补峁単丑补 and themselves attained awakening. It also includes the rules for ordination, for reciting the 笔补峁璱尘辞办办丑补 during uposatha days, and various procedures that monks are supposed to perform during formal gatherings of the community.

3. Khandhaka (Cullavagga)

The Khandhaka includes an elaboration of the bhikkhus鈥� etiquette and duties as well as the rules and procedures for addressing offences that may be committed within the 厂补峁単丑补. It also contains the story of the establishment of the 产丑颈办办丑耻苍墨 厂补峁単丑补, plus detailed accounts of the first two Councils.

4. 笔补谤颈惫腻谤补

The 笔补谤颈惫腻谤补 is a recapitulation of the previous sections, with summaries of the rules classified and re-classified in various ways for instructional purposes.
