[Buddha-l] Vinaya Texts trans/ed. by Oldenberg

[JKirkpatrick]

 Reading, or listening to, only the vinaya, does not commit any
infraction. In fact, many Chinese masters, including Hsuan Hua of
the City of Ten Thousands Buddhas and Yen P'ei, encouraged
laypeople to learn the precepts.  
BTW, the Vinayas are online; anyone can have access:

p34638

Chinese and Vietnamese translations are all over the net too.
