Abstract | Sex-change is a widespread phenomenon in Buddhist literature, most probably inspired by Indian narrative literature where it appears already earlier. The ultimate cause of sexchange in Buddhism is karma (Pāli kamma), and its first mention in the Theravāda tradition is in the monastic law code (Vinaya), followed by the Milindapañha, and the Pāli commentaries (aṭṭhakathā, ca. from the 4th c. CE onwards). The present contribution examines the references for sex-change in the Theravāda legal literature (I). As a kind of preview, select references to sex-change in the Mūlasarvāstivāda tradition are collected and compared (II). The bulk of the information on sex-change comes from a long passage in the Vinaya commentary, the Samantapāsādikā. This passage is given in the original Pāli and an English translation as an Appendix (III) to this contribution. |
