Abstract
The Karmabhedavastu is the fourteenth chapter of Guṇaprabha’s Vinayasūtra. It concerns disputes related to ecclesiastical acts in the Buddhist monastic community. The chapter consists of two sections, which are collected from different texts of the Mūlasarvāstivāda Vinaya corpus. A first critical edition of the Sanskrit text of the Karmabhedavastu, the Tibetan translations in the bsTan ’gyur, and an annotated translation are the main contributions of this paper.
