佛祖統紀 35.64

35.64

In the second year of the Jiaping reign, the Central Indian Tripiṭaka master Dharmakāla came to Luoyang and translated the Mahāsāṃghika Vinaya (Sengqi jie). He instituted the karman ordination for fully ordained monks. Before this, when bhikṣus renounced household life, they merely cut their hair, without having vinaya etiquette; in all fasting, repentance, and ritual services, they resembled ancestral sacrifices. When Dharmakāla arrived, he first produced a prātimokṣa code, which then came into daily use.
