Buddhist Monastic Rules from the Pali Canon

Buddhist Monastic Rules from the Pali Canon

This kammvaca manuscript contains monastic rules from the Pali canon in the Buddhist Theravada tradition. The individual leaves are made of starched fabric coated with lacquer. The book covers are of painted wood. 

Family members donated manuscripts like these when a boy entered a monastery. Every boy in Myanmar spends some time in a monastery. Admission into one is a ritual that marks his transition to adulthood, and is celebrated in families with a feast.
