Mulasarvastivada Vinaya is mostly empty

[wcang]

Except for Bhikkhu and Bhikkkhuni Patimokkha, Mulasarvastivada Vinaya is devoid of any content.

On CBETA, I can definitely see Khandhakha, Bhikkhu, Bhikkhuni Vibhanga and more. T1442 till T1459 should be related to Mulasarvastivada.

This will be the last issue I create for you, @ayya-vimala . Hopefully, fingers crossed.

Thank you @wcang and my apologies f or the late reply. I'm quite busy before the Vassa so it might have to be left until after.
I think the Mulasarvastivade Vinaya is a massively big project to add, although with the segmented files I already have I might be able to make something for Bilara. In any case, I will leave this now.

Can Ayya @ayya-vimala show me how this task is to be done? I'm thinking that since I'm going to do Taisho numbering for Mulasarvastivada Vinaya text, I might just as well take this up if it is easy. Of course, if it is too hard, then I will leave this to you 😝

I hope that we can have this done with:

• Properly segmented text.
• Proper punctuation.
• Updated Chinese characters instead of mashed up text. See Helpful titles for Vinaya rules #415 (comment)
• As a bonus, if we can have variant readings imported, that will be great.

The existing Vinaya text from other schools are hard to read because of the first three points. They are all bunched up in one big paragraph with minimal punctuation.

I have segmented texts, but they are segmented according to the CBETA numbers (T1442_001, etc.) and not on suttacentral numbers (lzh-mu-bu-vb-pj1, etc.) so some marker has to be put on that I can use to split them.

I don't have time right now to upload the files but will do at some point.
Just the numbers of where they start would do the trick. The rest is easy.

Jolly good, Ayya. May you have a fruitful vassa.
