In this article, the writer shall provide the basic answers for the Buddha disciplines. Before entering the Nirvana, the Buddha emphasized that "every Buddhist should consider the Vinaya as his own teacher until s/he crosses over the river of ignorance or achieve enlightenment". So, the Vinaya is vitally important in Buddhist practice.
The writer shall provide some brief and basic facts as followings
1. Vinaya is instrumental to the practice as it helps purify mind and body of the practitioner. Vinaya is the way leading the enlightenment but it is no way a destiny of practitioners
3. Vinaya shall once the practitioners achieve the purification become neutral as the practitioner is the Vinaya.
Vinaya is not the Buddha's gift for some one who enters Shanga by serious vows or religious ceremonies. So, taking vows in religious ceremony shall not make a person a holly or purified. It shall take a lot of constant continuous effort to achieve it.
5. Like other sects in the Buddhism, Vinaya is one of them. Vinaya is similar to Zen, Pureland etc, .Practising the Buddha disciplines daily shall help the practitioners achieve purification of mind and body.
6. A monk/nun committed him/herself to the Vinaya shall comply with the Buddha's disciplines.
7. A person entering a religious ceremony is committing to (i) strict observation of the Buddha's rules, (ii) practise the Buddha's rules in daily life until achieving the liberation of any obstruction. S/he is submitting to the Buddha and all other Buddhas and Boddhisattvas. S/he is not a follower to any monks who witness the confirmation ceremony, but should treat them as leaders or senior brothers who have experience in the practice.
The writer shall in the steps empower all authorities in the Buddhist literature and Buddha's teachings to clarify this theme.
