Whoever should ride: an offense of wrong doing." — Mv.V.9.4... "I allow a vehicle for one who is ill." — Mv.V.10.2... "I allow a hand cart and a cart yoked with a bull (§)." ... "I allow a sedan-chair and a hammock sedan-chair." — Mv.V.10.3<br /><br />85. Should any bhikkhunī, not being ill, ride in a vehicle, it is to be confessed.

Maybe you also dont mind, if I post the missing post (which have been deleted) in the original blog.<br /><br />Dear friend,<br /><br />the Vinaya, Monk rules even the Suttas explain in detail how a Bhikkhu is neither involved nor takes part on unwholesome deeds.<br /><br /><i>nissaggiya 18<br /><br />"yo pana bhikkhu jātarūparajataṃ uggahṇeyya vā uggahṇāpeyya vā upanikkhittaṃ vā sādiyeyya, nissaggiyaṃ pācittiyaṃ."<br /><br />Not to accept money. If a bhikkhu accepts or receives in one way or another, gold or money, it must immediately be relinquished and it entails a pācittiya.<br /><br />What ought to be considered as gold or money are: all precious metals, coins, bank notes, checks, credit cards, restaurant tickets or any other type of monetary means (all that which enables to buy something). However, telephone cards, stamps and transportation tickets do not belong to this category as these things do not enable one to do shopping.<br /><br />To proceed in the forfeiture of gold or money, all the bhikkhus of the vihāra meet in the sīmā and appoint a bhikkhu - renowned for his honesty - who will go and throw this gold or money outside of the monastery without bothering to take note of the spot where it falls, or even informing anyone whosoever of the spot where he went to throw it (in the case of a check book or a credit card, it must be given back to the bank). This gold or money that was not worthy to be accepted can be eventually handed over to the persons in charge of the monastery or to the association that administers it, but in no way to a kappipa*.<br /><br />Note: This rule corresponds partly with the last of the ten precepts.</i><br /><br />What is a kappiya?<br /><br /><i>If asked to be a "Kappiya" for a new monk, this is a very noble and good thing for you to do! There are so many things that monks can't do for themselves like preparing their own food etc. so there is a need for assistance. Being a Kappiya means that you need to offer him any requisites necessary - whether you buy them for him yourself or arrange with others to help is up to you. The requisites are 4 food, robes, lodging and medicine. In this way the monk doesn't have to handle money. By being a Kappiya it means that the monk can ask you directly for a requisite when he has need. The Kappiya is the only person who the monk can ask for things directly. And just because the monk asks doesn't mean that you personally have to provide it, many times other people want to practice their generosity but don't know what to give.<br /><br />The Kappiya can suggest things to them.<br /><br />Being the Kappiya can be as big or small a responsibility as they want to take, Sometimes a monk may have many Kappiyas, especially if it is a large Sangha, but he depends mostly on one or two of them for most things.</i><br /><br />There are many roles which are broken all the time in our Country and that is also the reason why there is less difference between a layman and a Bhikkhu. Actually mostly Bhikkhus are more involved in worldly life as simple normal people.<br />Buddha explained very clearly that if the Vinaya falls and would not be understood anymore, the Buddha Dhamma disappears.<br /><br />We can not promote Buddha Dhamma and ignore Vinaya, we can not do something good while we are making things against virtue.<br /><br />If somebody does not understand the Vinaya and its good results for one self and all other beings, than he totally misunderstand the Dhamma. Actually we live in a very dark time, but I am sure there are people who understand that doing good by failure in virtue does not really help.<br /><br />to be continue...<br /><br />Post a comment.<br /><br />Unsubscribe to comments on this post.<br /><br />Posted by Hanzze to ព្រះពុទ្ធសាសនាសង្គម <br>Engaged Buddhism at October 24, 2011 6:31 PM <br /><br />continue you will find on the webside:<br />http://luonsovath.blogspot.com/2011/10/latest-update-of-ven-preah-krou-luon.html#comments<br /><br /><br />_()_<br />with mettaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
