Abstract

The objectives of this Article were: Rūpiya in Pācittīyabhaḍha: Rūpiya in Pācittīyabhaḍha is a story about monks exchanging money. Then the Buddha reprimanded and punished them. Rūpiya is a valuable object such as gold and money that can be traded. It is what brings decay to the monks. If any Bhikkhu possesses it, it should be abandoned. It is divided in two types: deformed and non-deformed. The importance of Rūpiya in Pācittīyabhaḍha shows that the blame of Rūpiya is what leads to decay. The monks possessing Rūpiya should be considered its suitability and this does not lead to the public censure
