The '''WikiVinaya''' is an effort to set up a place where any kind of information concerning the [[Vinaya]] (or monastic discipline) of the ([[Theravada|Theravadin]]) [[Sangha|Buddhist Monastic Order]] can be found.
 
-
 
-
The goal of WikiVinaya is to compose an 'open' online editable Vinaya resource, covering all the rules (and related conventions) relevant for the [[bhikkhu]]s (monks) and [[bhikkhuni]]s (nuns), and the male and female lay buddhists who come into (regular) contact with those buddhist monks and nuns. It is hoped that this will help both contributors and readers to improve in knowledge about Vinaya. Please have a look at the [[wikivinaya:subject-areas|the subjects that WikiVinaya covers]].

Since WikiVinaya is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki wiki], the writing of all pages of the WikiVinaya are 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. Also the stated purpose of WikiVinaya is subject to the wishes of the community, certainly in the current (beginning) stage of the WikiVinaya. However, you need to 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 welcomepage for newcomers at wikipedia]'' (p.s. Wikipedia is ''not'' the same as WikiVinaya, but it is the biggest and most famous wiki and has a good help-section).

Nowadays many different rules exist in the different Buddhist [[monastery|monasteries]] and the various Buddhist [[monastic lineage]]s. One may hear different interpretations of the same rule, which can be quite confusing for the newcomer to Buddhism, and see some rules being emphasized in some monasteries, and unheard of at other monasteries.

WikiVinaya tries to clear things up by trying to always make a distinction concerning the origin of a certain rule:
+
#[[Goal and Content of WikiVinaya]]
-
#Is the rule Buddha-Vinaya (contained in the oldest scriptures (the [[Vinaya Pitaka]]), and very likely to have been proclaimed by Buddha himself?
+
#[[Publications|Books]] - A very complete list of ebooks (internet links) and proper paper books
-
#Is it one of a number of variant interpretations of a passage or rule in the Vinaya Pitaka, which subsequently lead to different practices of the very same rule.
+
#[[Monasteries in the West]] - A list of western monasteries that are serious about Vinaya
-
#Is it a [[commentary|commentarial]] comment on the Vinaya, written down (many) centuries after the passing away of the Buddha?
+

-
#Or is it a current practice, of which it maybe cannot be said that it has a basis in any rule contained in the old scripture of the [[Tipitaka]] and her (ancient) commentaries?
