Description
Prātimokṣasūtra. (T. So sor thar pa'i mdo; C. Jie ben; J. Kaihon; K. Kye pon 根本). In Sanskrit, "Sūtra on the Code," a scripture that provides a separate listing of the code of conduct and monastic rules (prātimokṣa) for monks (bhikṣu) and for nuns (bhikṣunī). Several of the mainstream Buddhist schools, including the Mahāsāṃghika and Mūlasarvāstivāda schools, had a separate text, called the Pratimokṣasūtra, that listed the prātimokṣa rules for monks and for nuns. There is no such separate text in the Theravāda school, where the pāṭimokkha is included in the suttavibhaṅga, the first major section of the Pāli Vinayapiṭaka, which includes the mahāvibhaṅga with the rules for monks and the bhikkunīvibhaṅga with the rules for nuns.
