In this Volume (concluded in Volume 13), Upâli, the
traditional compiler of the 'Dulwa, puts special cases to
the Buddha (Sakyamuni), to learn to what class of
transgression they belong, or whether they are permitted
by the law. Upâli addresses him as 'btsun-pa',
'venerable'. Sakya replies, for example, 'nyes-byas', 'a
wicked action' or 'ltung-pa' 'a moral fall'.
For an analogous modern handbook, see 'The Buddhist
Monastic Code' by Thanissaro Bhikku, 1994.
With a list showing where the writing sections (bam-po)
start in the MS and in the PTT.
