The Inception of Discipline and the Vinaya Nidāna is a seminal 1962 academic book edited and translated by N. A. Jayawickrama, a prominent Professor of Pali and Buddhist Civilization. The volume is a precise English translation and critical edition of the Bāhiranidāna (the introductory historical prologue) of Buddhaghosa's Samantapāsādikā, which serves as the primary commentary on the Vinaya Piṭaka (the Buddhist monastic code of discipline).
