Bhikkhunīpātimokkha; Kaṅkhāvitaraṇī; Samantapāsādikā; Nissaggiya-Pācittiya; sequence of rules
摘要
The Bhikkhunīvibhaṅga of the Vinaya of the Theravādins contains only the rules unique to nuns (bhikkhunīs), and, in addition, a statement regarding the total number of rules valid for them. It does not include the rules from the Bhikkhuvibhaṅga which are common (sādharaṇa) to both, monks (bhikkhus) and nuns (bhikkhunīs). From the Vinaya itself it is neither clear which of the bhikkhus’ rules are shared and which unshared (asādharaṇa), nor in which sequence the rules unique to bhikkhunīs and those common to bhikkhus and bhikkhunīs are to be grouped together in a complete Bhikkhunīpatimokkha. The Bhikkhunīvibhaṅga sections of the commentaries on Vinaya and Pātimokkha, that is the Samantapāsādikā and Kaṅkhāvitaraṇī, comment solely on the rules unique to bhikkhunīs. But both contain information as to which rules from the Bhikkhuvibhaṅga are common to bhikkhus and bhikkhunīs, and both include guidelines for grouping the rules. Thereby these two commentaries differ with respect to the complete set of Nissaggiya-Pācittiya rules for bhikkhunīs. The sequence proposed in the Samantapāsādikā – the better one from the point of view of content – also is more consistent with the sequence of rules parallel to the Nissaggiya-Pācittiya section in other Buddhist schools’ Bhikṣuṇīprātimokṣas. The sequence in the Kaṅkhāvitaraṇī, on the other hand, goes along with the arrangements of the Saṅghādisesa and Pācittiya rules in the (received) Theravāda tradition and is the one found in all complete Bhikkhunīpātimokkha editions.
