AbstractThe first part of this contribution traces the origins and development of the Buddhist monastic law codes (Vinaya), their composition and dating. These law codes contain the rules and regulations which function as a guide and directive for the monastics of the Buddhist communities (saṅgha) and are therefore also central for an investigation of the Buddhist institution, namely the saṅgha. The Buddhist saṅgha in its widest sense comprises monastics and lay followers alike. In a narrower sense it refers to the monastics only, that is to monks and nuns. It is this sense which is the focus of the second part of this contribution, for the saṅgha of the monastics was responsible for transmitting the teaching of the Buddha, for teaching nuns, novices and lay followers, and thus for keeping Buddhism alive. We will outline the development of the Buddhist saṅgha, and trace its role and legal structure.
