The members of the monastic order were called Bhiksus (monks) and Bhikshunis (nuns). They were required to renounce the world before joining Sangha . The minimum age was 15 years during Buddha's time. The members had to take oath ----- Buddham Sharnam Gachhami, Dharmam Sharnam Gachhami and Sangam Sharnam Gachhami. (I take shelter under Buddha; I take shelter under Religion; I take shelter under the Sangha.) The followers had to undergo training for 10 years.
The members had to lead a disciplined life and follow the ten commandments (Paramita).
1. To speak the truth.
2. To abide by brahmacharya.
3. Not to harm creatures.
4. Not to own property.
5. To shun music and dancing.
6. To make meals only at fixed times.
7. Not to use intoxicants.
8. Not to use scented goods.
9. Not to sleep on cushions.
10. Not to keep money.
The Bhiksus and Bhikshunis were required to roam here and there in different parts of the country for eight months of the year. They had to sleep in viharas which had separate sections for men and women. Special rules were framed for the Bhikshunis. This was done to ensure discipline. In the viharas, the members led a life of chastity, austerity, devotion, and purity.
