Looks great but there is shared pacittiya 134 / 53 about playing in water⌠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 â 1 sanghadisesa and 23 pacittiyas. (Bhikkhus have one rule.) So the next few doodles will be about ordination onlyâŚ

The pacittiyas for bhikkhunis only
(rules 65-72 of 96)
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 âHanding foodâŚâ would be more accurate than âGiving foodâŚâ
Thanks!
Awesome drawing and interpretations, as always.
Iâm particularly tickled by the pizza being accepted after regular food was declined in Bhi Pac 54 - because thatâs exactly when itâs hardest to keep this rule!
Thanks for the interpretive description and drawing of Bhi Pac 55, âKeeping good supporters to oneselfâ; the usual translations of being âBegrudgingâ or âStingy with regard to familiesâ donât get the point across nearly so clearly.
Somehow the willfulness comes across clearly in the illustration for Bhi Pac 69 (not training under oneâs 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 rulesâŚ
(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) youâd get blisters or a heatstroke or some other sickness. So better to be safe than sorryâŚ
Things were different in the Buddhaâs days. People were used to walking barefoot and the roads usually were mud paths, not tarmac. Only rich people used vehiclesâŚ
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.

(rules 89-96 of 96)
This is the last batch of the pacittiya rulesâŚ
The Patidesaniyas
Patidesaniyas are offenses that can be cleared through confession, similar to a pacittiya. The difference is that the monastics have to use a specific confession formula to clear the offense: âI have done a blameworthy and unsuitable thing which is to be acknowledged. I acknowledge it.â
There are 4 patidesaniyas for bhikkhus, 8 for bhikkhunis. None of them are shared.
