Book Description
This book is an depth study and word by word translation of the Bhikkhu Pātimokkha, the Code of Discipline of Buddhist monks which is recited bimonthly in Buddhist monasteries. It is mainly intended for Buddhist monks, but it will also be of interest of those who are studying Pali or Buddhist monastic law. The main part of this book is a word by word translation of the Pali text of the Bhikkhu Pātimokkha; also included are a critical edition of the Pali text, a translation, discussions of technical terms and procedures, an analysis of the structure of the Pātimokkha, and comparisons with rules in the Prātimoksasutras of other early Buddhist schools.

Book Description
Discipline: The Canonical Buddhism of the Vinayapitaka is a penetrating analysis of a heretofore neglected, yet centrally important portion of the Pali Canon. In identifying the pivotal role of discipline in the bhikkhu quest for nibbana Professor Holt finds that Vinaya rules represent a practical implementation of the Budha's Dhamma. Specifically, adherence to this monastic code theoretically facilitates an overcoming of asavas, mental dispositions that foster attachment to the self and thus perpetuate the process of samsaric kammic retribution. The formulation of Buddhist monastic law, therefore, need not be seen as the result of casuistry; rather, it is the consequence of a conscious attempt on the part of the early Buddhist tradition to identify behavioral expressions that at once generate and reflect a calmed, detached and disciplined mental and spiritual state. The author has also examined the significance of the principal rituals of Buddhist monasticism as they are prescribed within the Vinaya text. He interprets these rites as cultic celebrations of discipline which, in turn, legitimate the Sangha's claim to be the embodiment and reservoir of the Buddha's teachings. The claim supported the Sangha's role of occupying a mediating position between the spiritual needs of the laity and the authority and the spiritual exemplar of Buddhism, the Buddha. In short, Discipline, written from the perspective of the history of religious approach, contributed significantly to the increased understanding of the dynamics of the Buddhist religion in its formulative stages.
