Tibetan Vinaya

The Tibetan Vinaya is a set of moral and ethical guidelines for monks and nuns within Tibetan Buddhism, detailing proper conduct, discipline, and community responsibilities. It aims to cultivate mindfulness, humility, and harmony among practitioners by outlining rules on behaviors such as celibacy, honesty, and respect for others. These rules serve as a foundation for spiritual development, helping practitioners maintain focus, integrity, and unity in their monastic lives. While rooted in tradition, the Tibetan Vinaya also encourages adaptability to contemporary circumstances, balancing discipline with compassion.
