Synopsis:
Restricted to the fully ordained. Free book. An annotated translation of this work on the vows of a fully ordained monk, or Gelong.
Monks and nuns in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition follow the Mulasarvastivadin school of Vinaya, or rules of the monastic order. Their vows at the gelong level, i.e.the level of full ordination, are recorded in the Mulasarvastivadin school's Individual Liberation Sutras, in the male and female versions respectively. Interspersed throughout the Tibetan translations of them is an easy to remember set of chantable verses summarizing the gelong or gelongpa's vows. These versified mnemonics are known as the Interleaved Summaries of the Vinaya Discourses. (Only the Gelongma's Individual Liberation Sutra survives in the original Sanskrit).
His Holiness the Dalai Lama uses the gelongpa's Interleaved Summary as the basis for his presentation of the fully ordained monk's vows. Geshe Graham Woodhouse's notes offer many helpful explanations. |
