Bhikkhupatimokkha (Theravada)
From Wikivinaya
The bhikkhupatimokkha of the Theravada tradition consists of 227 rules or precepts, divided into eight categories: parajika (4 rules), sanghadisesa (13), aniyata (4), nissaggiya pacittiya (30), pacittiya (92), patidesaniya (4), sekhiya (75) and adhikarana samatha (7).
The various categories determine the seriousness of breaking the precept, and what should be done after breaking it. The adhikarana samatha rules are a bit different, in that they are not really rules or precepts, but ways in which conflicts within the Sangha (monastic community) can be resolved.
