Vinaya Pitaka - Monastic Rules


Bhikkhu Khandaka

  • Translated from the Pali by I B Horner

The Khandakas are often arranged into two parts - The Mahāvagga (Khandakas 1-10) and the Cullavagga (Khandakas 11-22).

This arrangement seems to be largely one of convenience so that there are two volumes of manageable size rather than a single huge volume. Both arrangements are included below.

(Mahāvagga)

(Mv1.)     Khandaka 1. Ordination (excerpt)
(Mv4.)     Khandaka 4. Pavarana (Invitation excerpt)

(Cullavagga)

(Cv7.)     Khandaka 17. Schism (excerpt)
