Buddhist Monastic Code IChapter 1PatimokkhaThe Pāṭimokkha is available to us in several recensions, some in Indic languages,others in Tibetan or Chinese translations. However, of the Indic recensions, onlyone — the Pali — is still a living tradition, recited fortnightly and put into practice byTheravādin bhikkhus throughout the world. This is the recension translated andexplained in this book.The meaning of the term pāṭimokkha is a matter of conjecture. According to theMahāvagga it means "the beginning, the head (or entrance — mukha), the foremost(pamukha) of skillful qualities" (Mv.II.3.4). The term serves as the name not only ofthe basic code of training rules, but also of a sermon in which the Buddhaenumerated the basic principles common to the teachings of all Buddhas: "Thenon-doing of all evil, the performance of what is skillful, and the purification ofone's mind: This is the Buddhas' message" (Dhp.183). Thus whatever the etymologyof the term pāṭimokkha, it denotes a set of principles basic to the practice of thereligion.The basic code of training rules for bhikkhus, in its Pali recension, contains 227rules divided into eight sections in accordance with the penalty assigned by eachrule: pārājika, defeat; saṅghādisesa, formal meeting; aniyata, indefinite; nissaggiyapācittiya, forfeiture and confession; pācittiya, confession; pāṭidesanīya,acknowledgement; sekhiya, training; and adhikaraṇa-samatha, settling of issues.The following chapters will discuss the precise meanings of these terms.Three of these terms, though, do not denote penalties. The aniyata rules givedirections for judging uncertain cases; the sekhiya rules simply say, "(This is) atraining to be followed," without assigning a particular penalty for not followingthem; and the adhikaraṇa-samatha rules give procedures to follow in settling issuesthat may arise in the Community. Thus there are only five types of penaltymentioned in the Pāṭimokkha rules themselves, ranging from permanent expulsionfrom the Community to simple confession in the presence of another bhikkhu. Noneof the penalties, we should note, involve physical punishment of any kind. And weshould further note that the purpose of undergoing the penalties is not somehow toabsolve one from guilt or to erase any bad kamma one may incur by breaking therules. Rather, the purpose is both personal and social: to strengthen one's resolveto refrain from such behavior in the future, and to reassure one's fellow bhikkhusthat one is still serious about following the training.In addition to the penalties directly mentioned in the rules, there are also penaltiesderived from the rules by the Vibhaṅga and commentaries. These derived penaltiesdeal with two sorts of cases: 1) A bhikkhu tries to commit an action mentioned inone of the rules, but the action for one reason or another does not reach1
