Samānavassika; vassika; pavāraṇā; invitation ceremony; “keeping the rains together”; “of equal numbers of rains”
摘要
Samānavassikaṃ pavāreti describes one of the abriged versions of the invitation ceremony (pavāraṇā) provided in case an obstacle does not allow a Saṅgha to carry out the invitation ceremony in the regular manner. The term samānavassikaṃ has been understood as “those who keep the rains together” by Rhys Davids and Oldenberg in the first English translation of the Pāli Vinaya. It has been interpreted similarly by Horner in the second Vinaya translation. Practitioners on the other hand understood this compound to mean “those of equal numbers of rains”. In the present contribution all references for samānavassika in Pāli literature are examined.
