Pārājika
The rules in this category are known in Pali as <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pārājika</i>. The exact meaning of the Pali word is disputed, but there is no doubt that it refers to expulsion from the Sangha. There are four such rules for the monks, all of which are shared with the nuns. Anyone who breaches any of these rules immediately loses his status as a monk. He is expelled from the Sangha and ineligible for re-ordination for the rest of his life. The <i lang='pi' translate='no'>pārājikas</i>, together with the next category of rules, the <i lang='pi' translate='no'>saṅghādisesas</i>, are collectively known as serious offenses, <i lang='pi' translate='no'>garukāpatti</i>. These rules are the most fundamental ones for the proper living of the monastic life.
