Chinese Buddhic writings condemn verbal abuse since their very beginning, but it is the translations of Indic works about vinaya that offer a systematic discussion of the topic. The juxtaposition of passages of various monastic discipline texts shows slight yet not unimportant differences concerning both the worrisome details causing the Buddha to dictate the precepts as well as the parables the Buddha resorts to in founding the censure of offensive language.

Abstract
Chinese Buddhic writings condemn verbal abuse since their very beginning, but it is the translations of Indic works about vinaya that offer a systematic discussion of the topic. The juxtaposition of passages of various monastic discipline texts shows slight yet not unimportant differences concerning both the worrisome details causing the Buddha to dictate the precepts as well as the parables the Buddha resorts to in founding the censure of offensive language.File in questo prodotto:
