THE TIBETAN VINAYA: Guide to Buddhist Conduct

by Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, trans. by Sonam Palden and Chojor Radha

The Buddha taught the Vinaya to monks and nuns so that they had a set of rules allowing them to devote their complete energy to reaching enlightenment. The Buddha did not simply give these rules all at once--he gave them in response to particular situations. In his discussion of vows, Thrangu Rinpoche explains how and why vows have changed over time in different Buddhist cultures.
