Bhikkhupatimokkha (Theravada)
From Wikivinaya
The bhikkhupatimokkha of the Theravada tradition consists of 227 rules, divided into eight categories: parajika, sanghadisesa, aniyata, nissaggiya pacittiya, pacittiya, patidesaniya, sekhiya and adhikarana samatha. These categories determine the seriousness of the rule, and what should be done after breaking the rule. The adhikarana samatha rules are a bit different, in that they are not really rules, but ways in which conflicts within the Sangha (monastic community) can be resolved.
