TIPIṬAKA - Part 100:
Bhikkhunivibhaṅga, Nissaggiya I

[01:24:02]  June 23rd, 2023

This is Part 100 of my recital of the "Tipiṭaka," the "Three Baskets" of pre-sectarian Buddhism, as translated into English from the original Pali Language.

In this episode, to celebrate this 100th Tipitaka episode, Edward will quickly summarize the various characters, monks and nuns, who behaved in various ways which resulted in the establishing of the rules of the original Sangha, which could be thought of as a kind of "Tipiṭaka Rogues' Gallery."

Then, we'll begin reading "Nissaggiya," the fourth part of "Bhikkhunivibhaṅga," which is the second part of the "Vinaya Piṭaka," the first of the three "Piṭaka," or "Baskets."

"Bhikkhunivibhaṅga" literally means "Nuns Analysis," meaning the rules for Buddhist nuns. "Nissaggiya" literally means "Forfeiture," referring to the rules of expiation involving forfeiture.
