Mahīśāsaka Vinaya

Bhikkhunī Vibhaṅga

Confession 207

Origin Story

At that time, the bhikkhunīs looked at their own bodies with lustful minds. Intentions of sexual desire arose. … “I now lay down a precept for the bhikkhunīs, as explained above. From now on, this precept should be recited thus:

Final Ruling

‘If a bhikkhunī looks at her own body with a lustful mind, it’s a pācittiya.’”

Explanations

For a sikkhamānā and a sāmaṇerī, it’s a dukkaṭa.
