===Goal and Content of WikiVinaya===

Right now, WikiVinaya has 3 pages of value.

The '''goal of WikiVinaya''' is to create a free online resource of information on the ''Buddhist monastic discipline'' – '[[Vinaya]]'.

-
 
+
-
The goal of '''WikiVinaya''' is to facilitate the creation of a free and editable online [[Vinaya]] resource, covering all the rules (and related conventions) relevant for [[bhikkhu]]s (monks) and [[bhikkhuni]]s (nuns), and the male and female lay buddhists who come into (regular) contact with buddhist monks and nuns. More specifically, this means the Vinaya Pitakas and related commentaries and conventions. Information concerning the [[Vinaya]]s of all the various [[extant vinaya recensions]] has a place on WikiVinaya]]. It is hoped that this will help both contributors and readers to improve in knowledge about Vinaya.

===Adding to the WikiVinaya===

Since WikiVinaya is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], the writing of all pages of the WikiVinaya is principally a community-effort, and the contents of these pages can be altered. Also this page, and any of the other pages. So feel free to change and add things. However, you need to [[Special:Userlogin|create an account on WikiVinaya]] in order to be able to edit pages and make new pages.

More information for newcomers to wikis can be found at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Welcome%2C_newcomers the welcome page for newcomers at wikipedia]. WikiVinaya is not the same as Wikipedia, but it uses the same software as Wikipedia and mostly the same ethos. The two differences in ethos are:
+
#[[Goal and Content of WikiVinaya]]
-
+
#[[Publications|Books]] - A very complete list of ebooks (internet links) and proper paper books
-
*1 WikiVinaya is aimed towards creating a resource of information that is fundamentally sympathetic to the Vinaya and the ideal of the monastic Saṅgha as essential parts of Buddhist practice. Points of view that are fundamentally unsympathetic to these basic ideals may not be given a 'fair' representation.
+
#[[Monasteries in the West]] - A list of western monasteries that are serious about Vinaya
-
*2 WikiVinaya may overstep the boundary of providing dry 'facts' sometimes and say something inspiring! Also, 'original research', which is not allowed in Wikipedia because it is an encyclopedia, is allowed here. However, as in Wikipedia it should always be accompanied with reasons and references not as mere personal opinion.
