Abstract
Recently, there have been an increasing number of studies on the Buddhist monastic community as a whole and on individual Buddhist monks and nuns in Vinaya literature. However, we do not know much about how a local Buddhist monastic community was administered. In order to consider just an aspect of the administration in a local monastic community, I will in this paper investigate descriptions of agreements (Skt kriy?k?ra-) that local monastic communities or local Buddhist monks conclude in Vinaya texts belonging to the (M?la)sarv?stiv?dins.
