Vinaya in Pāli Buddhism

Abstract

The Discipline (Vinaya) is a tool for practicing physical and verbal development in order to have peace and restraint at the beginning, and serves as the basis of mental training and further development of intelligence. There are two intentions of laying down the course of training for monks, namely: 1) Primary intention: Focusing on creating a master plan for the Dhamma of Unity to have purity of the three channels of action (body, speech and mind) both for individuals and for the Buddhist monastic order and for stability of the State. 2) Hidden Intention: the effort to abandon greed (lobha), hatred (dosa) and delusion (moha) of each training rule from rough to fine. However, both of these intentions are for the same purpose, namely that of achieving  Enlightenment.
