The Ocean of Dharma

At Mount Potalaka, the bodhisattva Lord of the World asks the Buddha about the true meaning of full ordination as a monk, to which the Buddha responds that it requires transcending dualism. After Maitreya seeks clarification, the Lord of the World gives a discourse on ultimate truth, earning the Buddha's approval and prompting further teachings on the nature of phenomena.

The Chapter on the Rains

The Chapter on the Rains sets out the Rite of Pledging to Settle for the Rains, in which monastics pledge to remain at a single site for the duration of the summer rains, concluding with cases where leaving incurs no offense. This is the third of the “Three Rites,” considered crucial for ensuring the integrity of monastics living at officially demarcated sites.
