The additional Parajika's *rules of expulsion*

Post by Christopherxx »

*Speaking from a pali canon standpoint*

So as many know in the Patimokkha there are I believe 11 additional Parajika's. If you are an eunuch, hermaphrodite, communion by theft, etc.

I've often wondered if these additional expulsion rules are found with the 227 rules or in a commentary and or additional text within the vinaya.

Lastly for some of the more knowledgeable scholars than I, do these additional Parajika's exist in the other vinayas?
