Fully ordained Buddhist monastics gather on full and new moon days to renew their commitment to living in the ethical guidelines laid down by the Buddha, which is the foundation for developing concentration and wisdom, and which enables the Three Jewels to flourish in the world. This booklet contains the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya rite for the bimonthly confession (posadha) for Buddhist monastics, the Pratimoksha Sutra for bhikshunis, and other rites required for and related to conducting the posadha. According to the Buddha’s Vinaya, this text may only be read by fully ordained Buddhist monastics.
