Book Description
The present work provides the first complete annotated translation into English
of the chinese version of the bhiksunivibhanga of the Dharmaguptakavinaya. This
vinaya laid the foundation of Chinese monastic life. As the Dharmaguptakavinaya
came into being in symbiosis with other vinaya traditions, a comparison is made
with these other traditions on important issues. In the introduction, the place
of the Dharmaguptaka tradition, the career of a Buddhist nun and the rules of
discipline are discussed. The notes to the English translation provide relevant
references to technical terms and to parallel passages from the discipline for
monks as well as from other vinaya traditions. The work is supplemented
