Book Description
Excerpt from The Book of the Discipline (Vinaya-Pitaka), Vol. 5: Cullavagga The Cullavagga, the Less or Lesser Division of the Vinaya, consists of twelve Sections. The first three of these have been translated by H. Oldenberg and T. W. Rhys Davids in Sacred Books of the East, Volume XVII, 1882, and the remaining nine in S.B.E., Volume XX, 1885. The Pali Vinaya on which their translation as well as mine is based is that edited by Oldenberg in 1880 as Volume II of his Vinaya Pitakam. The wealth of detail increases rather than diminishes in this Lesser Division, and as an instrument for use by monks and nuns is astonishing in its variety and the minute precision it lavishes on greater and smaller points alike. It was no doubt ever more and more necessary to put the proper ways of meeting disturbances in the Order on a firm basis. This certainly appears to be the purpose of Section I which deals in turn with seven formal acts: (1) censure for quarrels, disputes and contention which perhaps arose from an earnest endeavour to act in conformity with what had been laid down and then finding that there were other and different opinions; or which perhaps were wantonly made in the Order by monks who, unable to master the higher practices, found time hang heavy; (2) guidance for a monk who had persisted in frequenting the laity and to guide him to consort instead with kalyanamitta and so become learned and expert in the dhamma and discipline; (3) banishment for a monk who had indulged in the numerous "bad habits" specified here and there in the Pali canon in a stereotyped passage; (4) reconciliation for a monk who had been rude to a householder, and who, when he went to ask for his forgiveness, was allowed to take a companion with him to act as messenger and spokesman in case the monk himself was overcome with shame and embarrassment - an allowance which in Section XII Yasa, the son of Kakandaka, asked to be extended to him when he was accused (wrongly) by the Vajjis of Vesali of reviling and abusing layfollowers; (5, 6, 7) three acts of suspension for not seeing an offence, for not making amends for one, for not giving up a wrong view, respectively.
