The Khandhaka is a component of the Vinaya Pitaka within the Pali Canon of Theravada Buddhism, translated into Chinese by Venerable Tongmiao. It was compiled during the First Buddhist Council following the Buddha's Parinirvana, systematically organizing the monastic community's regulations and codes of conduct. Its main content covers various disciplinary rituals, including ordination, Uposatha and Vassa observances, daily life rules concerning food, clothing, shelter, and travel, as well as procedures for resolving disputes within the Sangha. It is divided into ten volumes, such as the Mahāvagga and Cullavagga. As a crucial text of Buddhist monastic discipline, the Khandhaka serves as a fundamental scripture for studying the operations of the early Buddhist monastic community. It holds authoritative guidance for Vinaya practice in Theravada Buddhist regions and provides an institutional framework for maintaining harmony and collective practice within the Sangha.
