The Blessed One disciplined the monastic discipline so that the renunciants would have full generals and morals when practicing the dharma, the dharma practice, solemnity in themselves and contribute to the cause of the enlightenment of the dharma and the solemnity of the Church.

Institutional Precepts is one of the righteous monks for Buddhist monks to cultivate and purify their body and mind on the path to enlightenment and liberation. The precepts in addition to the function of perfecting personal morality, it is the strict observance of the monastic precepts that have contributed positively to the perfection of social morality. Because, social ethics has many similarities with Buddhist morality. From the connotation is the introduction of the holy race, the three syllables, the gift of the gift, the gift of Buddha, and the appearance that the post-monks and nuns must be transferred to the dharma, strictly to follow the precepts. practice, and the rule of law is also a measure to increase the morality, virtue, cultivate the mind of the mind, strengthen the force of each monk and nun.

 With the wisdom of the great enlightened, the Buddha made the precepts so that the monks and nuns would follow them to cultivate and purify their body and mind, become fully moral people, and be a model for heaven. people, spiritual guide for lay Buddhists. Therefore, all jobs in monastic life must follow the precepts as a teacher and absolutely obey the precepts. Because all matters of cultivation and daily life that do not conform to the rules of the precepts go against the Buddha's will. In life, even from the smallest job, it must not be contrary to the precepts, it must conform to the natural precepts, thereby establishing an order, discipline and discipline in the practice. Therefore, discipline can be widely understood in all aspects: ontology, ethics and methodology.

1 / In terms of ontology:

a. When studying the discipline of the body:

- In essence: The precepts are the chief cause to generate concentration and wisdom; is the origin to solve the relationships between monks and nuns, between monks and nuns, and monks and nuns, and the social community. Gradually become the code of conduct that every monk and nun must follow when communicating with each other or socializing. In the end, it became the institution that forced all monks and nuns to comply, otherwise it would be punished.

- In essence: The original of the precepts is the art of living in the Sangha community. Gradually it became a technique to protect the prosperity of the Church, to elucidate the dharma, to eventually become the science of protection and promotion of the united solidarity and achievements of the monastic basis of monks and nuns. Church members.

b. When studying precepts in dynamic form:

The precepts were intended to regulate the relationships within the Sangha community, which later became normative forcing all monks and nuns to abide by in order to demonstrate the Dharma, to benefit themselves, solemnly and solemnly. church.

2 / Ethically:

The ultimate goal of the precepts is to bring about good, but it is not selfish, but selfless, enabling monks and nuns to have a holy, honest and beautiful life in the midst of life. Therefore, whether studying according to Theravada Buddhism or Theravada Buddhism, if one wants to promote their morality, morality, and career, monks and nuns cannot leave the precepts.

3. Methodologically:

Discipline is a science, but applying it is an art. Because the precepts are always accurate and precise, the precepts serve the truth well. So truth does not change over time and space.

Thereby, showing that the generals of the precepts that monks and nuns take will be victorious, the predestined monks and nuns will be purified body and mind; world achievements to cultivate the mind, promoting the monastic basis to become the pillars of the Church later.

In addition, the Buddha taught: those who observe the precepts strictly have 5 benefits:

1. People who have moral virtue will enjoy the protection of wealth thanks to the diligent effort in their practice.

2. Good reputation spread far.

3. No fear, timidity when coming to large assemblies.

4. When the body comes together, the mind does not disturb.

5. After the general body damage, being born in the realm of peace.

When we properly understand the meaning of praying to the dharma, we need to understand the function of the precept is to stop and end the wrongdoings, attain the holy ones, and gain the benefits of observing the precepts strictly. As ancient virtues teach:
