In Theravada Buddhism, the Pāṭimokkha is the basic code of monastic discipline, consisting of 227 rules for fully ordained monks (bhikkhus) and 311 for nuns (bhikkhuṇīs). It is contained in the Suttavibhaṅga, a division of the Vinaya Piṭaka.
The four pārājikas (lit. "defeats") are rules entailing expulsion from the sangha for life. If a monk breaks any one of the rules he is automatically "defeated" in the holy life and falls from monkhood immediately. He is not allowed to become a monk again in his lifetime. Intention is necessary in all these four cases to constitute an offence. The four parajikas for bhikkus are:
Sexual intercourse: engaging in any sexual intercourse.
Stealing: the robbery of anything worth more than 1/24 troy ounce of gold (as determined by local law).
Killing: bringing about the death of a human being — whether by killing the person, arranging for an assassin to kill the person, inciting the person to die, or describing the advantages of death.
Lying: lying to another person that one has attained a superior human state, such as claiming to be an arahant when one knows one is not, or claiming to have attained one of the jhānas when one knows one has not.
The pārājikas are more specific definitions of the first four of the Five Precepts.
The thirteen saṅghādisesas are rules requiring an initial and subsequent meeting of the sangha (communal meetings). If a monk breaks any rule here he has to undergo a period of probation or discipline after which, if he shows himself to be repentant, he may be reinstated by a sangha of not less than twenty monks. Like the pārājikas, the saṅghādisesas can only come about through the monk's own intention and cannot be accidentally invoked. The thirteen saṅghādisesas for bhikkus are:
Discharge of semen or getting someone to discharge your semen, except while dreaming.
Lustful bodily contact with a woman, including kissing or holding hands.
Making lustful remarks to a woman alluding to her genitals or sexual intercourse.

The Pāli Canon is the standard collection of scriptures in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, as preserved in the Pāli language. It is the most complete extant early Buddhist canon. It derives mainly from the Tamrashatiya school. During the First Buddhist Council, three months after the parinibbana of Gautama Buddha in Rajgir, Ananda recited the Sutta Pitaka, and Upali recited the Vinaya Pitaka. The Arhats present accepted the recitations, and henceforth, the teachings were preserved orally by the Sangha.
Une bhikkhuni (pali) ou bhikshuni (sanskrit) est une moniale bouddhiste qui a reçu l’ordination complète (upasampada), suivant un noviciat (shramanerika puis shikshamana) d’au moins deux ans. L’ordre des bhikkhunis a été fondé cinq ans après celui des bhikkhus, avec l’accord quelque peu réticent du Bouddha Gautama, qui leur imposa huit règles spécifiques les assujettissant aux moines. La première moniale aurait été Mahaprajapati Gautami, sa tante et mère adoptive.
