Description

The four pārājikas (lit. "defeats") are rules entailing expulsion from the sangha for life. If a monk breaks any one of the rules he is automatically "defeated" in the holy life and falls from monkhood immediately. He is not allowed to become a monk again in his lifetime. Intention is necessary in all these four cases to constitute an offence. The four parajikas for bhikkus are:[1] Sexual intercourse: engaging in any sexual intercourse. Stealing: the robbery of anything worth more than 1/24 troy ounce of gold (as determined by local law). Intentionally bringing about the death of a human being — whether by killing the person, arranging for an assassin to kill the person, inciting the person to die, or describing the advantages of death.[2] Deliberately lying to another person that one has attained a superior human state, such as claiming to be an arahant when one knows one is not, or claiming to have attained one of the jhānas when one knows one has not. The pārājikas are more specific definitions of the first four of the Five Precepts. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pāṭimokkha#Pārājika
