Vinaya — Parivāra — The thirteen groups of originations of offenses

1Summary of originations
“All phenomena are impermanent,
And suffering, nonself, made up;
Indeed the description extinguishment,
Is the conviction about nonself.

2When the Buddha moon has not appeared,
When the Buddha sun has not yet risen;
Then even the name is not known,
Of the things that are the same as those.

3Having done many difficult things,
Having fulfilled the perfections;
The Great Heroes emerge,
Endowed with vision, <j>in this world with its supreme beings.

4They instruct in the True Teaching,
That ends suffering and brings happiness;
Angīrasa, the Sakyan Sage,
Who has compassion for all beings.

5The best of all creatures, the lion,
Taught the three Collections:
The Discourses, and the Philosophy,
And the Monastic Law, of great quality.

6Thus the true Teaching carries on,
So long as the Monastic Law remains;
As well as both Analyses,
The Chapters, and the Key Terms—

7A garland bound,
By the quality of the string of the Compendium;
In this very Compendium,
Originations are determined.

8Combination and source are another,
Which are pointed out in the list below.
Therefore, they should train in the Compendium,
Those who love the Teaching <j>and are highly virtuous.”

“Laid down in the two analyses,
They recite on the observance day;
I will declare the origination,
According to the method: listen to me.

10The first offense entailing expulsion,
And then the second;
Matchmaking and pressing,
And an extra robe.

True, and by arrangement;
