They seriously have this at the monastery?
Did one of the laypeople donate it?

I didnāt know they had picture galleries! (P41)
No no. We donāt literally have a whirly chair thingā¦ yetā¦
If anyone wants to donate to this effort, I think our Mondop Staircase would make an epic waterslide:
Looks great but there is shared pacittiya 134 / 53 about playing in waterā¦ And it applies to monks too.
The pacittiyas for bhikkhunis only
(rules 57-64 of 96)
There are 24 rules dealing with ordination in the bhikkhuni patimokkha ā 1 sanghadisesa and 23 pacittiyas. (Bhikkhus have one rule.) So the next few doodles will be about ordination onlyā¦

Discussing further Bhi.Pac 46, the rule is to not personally hand out food, rather than prohibiting generally providing it, say, by setting it near a person or asking another to give. So I think naming the rule āHanding foodā¦ā would be more accurate than āGiving foodā¦ā
Thanks!
Awesome drawing and interpretations, as always.
Iām particularly tickled by the pizza being accepted after regular food was declined in Bhi Pac 54 - because thatās exactly when itās hardest to keep this rule!
Thanks for the interpretive description and drawing of Bhi Pac 55, āKeeping good supporters to oneselfā; the usual translations of being āBegrudgingā or āStingy with regard to familiesā donāt get the point across nearly so clearly.
Somehow the willfulness comes across clearly in the illustration for Bhi Pac 69 (not training under oneās Preceptor for 2 years) - actually laughed out loud.
Also LOL at the teddy bear in the almsbowl of the young ordainee of Bhi Pac 71.
Re:
- Not assisting a new bhikkhuni one has ordained for two years
It sounds like a really long ordination ceremony. I suggest rewording for clarity:
- Not assisting for two years a new bhikkhuni one has ordained
I laughed so much going through the vinaya doodles. The illustrations are so creative ven. @yodha !
Thanks for all your feedback! I have made the changes you suggested.

Finally we come to the end of the ordination rulesā¦
(Updated 24 October 2019)
Are these really proscribed? Should I not offer you a lift?
Yes, these are real rules
BTW, monks have them too, just not in their patimokkha.
The way people usually get around this is by using the exemption for monastics who are sick. If you had to walk far (without sandals / a vehicle) youād get blisters or a heatstroke or some other sickness. So better to be safe than sorryā¦
Things were different in the Buddhaās days. People were used to walking barefoot and the roads usually were mud paths, not tarmac. Only rich people used vehiclesā¦
Sounds like it limited the rate.
Is there a minimum age?
Yes, maximum 1 candidate in 2 years.
20 is the minimum age for unmarried women, and for men. 12 for married women.

This is the last batch of the pacittiya rulesā¦
