Śīla (Sanskrit) or sīla (Pāli) is an important concept in Buddhism that is usually rendered into English as "virtue"; other translations include "good conduct," "morality," "moral discipline" and "precept." It is an action that is an intentional effort. It is one of the three practices (sīla, samādhi, and paññā) and the second pāramitā. It refers to moral purity of thought, word, and deed. Sīla refers to overall (principles of) ethical behavior. There are several levels of sila, which correspond to "basic morality" (five precepts), "basic morality with asceticism" (eight precepts), "novice monkhood" (ten precepts) and "monkhood" (Vinaya or Patimokkha). Laypeople generally undertake to live by the five precepts which are common to all Buddhist schools. If they wish, they can choose to undertake the eight precepts, which have some additional precepts of basic asceticism. From Wikipedia under the

Q. 1. Refrain from harming living creatures. 2. Refrain from taking that which is not given. 3. Refrain from sexual misconduct. 4. Refrain from lying, speaking ill and bickering. 5. Refrain from intoxication. 6. Refrain from eating after noon. 7. Refrain from dancing, singing, music, entertainments. 8. Refrain from wearing garlands, using perfumes and make-up. 9. Refrain from lying on a high or luxurious sleeping place. 10. Refrain from accepting gold and silver (money). You're right Fish, but I wanted to get peoples opinions on the full 10. And by the way, a fully-ordained monk (bhikkhu) observes the *227* rules of the bhikkhu Patimokkha. Asked by True Objective Realism - Sat Oct 10 21:00:26 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. The 10 precepts is only more relevant to Samanera or trainee monks, as such I can't see your objective in getting opinions. Basically it is good for buddhist to practice the 10 precepts as a way to refrain from eating after mid-day till the next morning and in the perfection of parami. Having the right view(sammaditthi) would be more appropriate for buddhist to fully comprehend the teachings of the dharma, more towards paramatta dharma. The monks must fully observe the 227 precepts, as their rightful duty is to practice towards nibbana, learning the buddha's dharma or either propogate the right-teachings in the right-way to lay followers so that the putthujana is able to support the buddha sasana, thus prolong it to benefit all mandkind,… [cont.] Answered by saccakiriyagatha - Sun Oct 11 05:59:37 2009 What are the different types of Buddhist and how do you determine which you are? Q. I am trying to figure out which category I would fall under once I actually take my Refuge Vows so I can better focus my practice, but I need to know how to differentiate between the different ones ... so far I plan on following the Noble Eightfold Path, accept the Four Noble Truths and the Five Precepts. Can someone give me some information and sources with information on the different kinds? Asked by Christine - Thu Jul 2 15:56:44 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I determined my "type" of Buddhism by studying with a variety of teachers and traditions. Before I settled into the Zen tradition, I trained with teachers in the Vajrayana and Theravada traditions. I never fully connected with these teachers/teachings, but once I encountered a keen-eyed Zen teacher, I was home. Buddhanet has a good overview of the various Buddhist traditions: Also, "Buddhism for Dummies," despite its title has a very good description of the various traditions: https://www.amazon.com/dp /0764553593?tag=oxher-20& camp=0&creative=0&linkCod e=as4&creativeASIN=076455 3593&adid=17F5XR90DQ2XXD0 9PKNY& Best wishes on your path!

Q. 7. I undertake the precept to refrain from dancing, singing, music, going to see entertainments, wearing garlands, using perfumes, and beautifying the body with cosmetics. Where it says "music" does that mean you arent allowed to PLAY music or LISTEN to music? Or both? Thanks! Thanks for the answers! ( i wasnt actually intending on taking up this precept i was just wondering about it) Asked by Chris - Thu Jan 25 22:34:03 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. These set of precepts are for usually devotees who are a tad more serious than some of us so -called everyday buddhists. So the precepts are there to minimise distractions. That particular precept deals with "attachment" to the sensual comforts. If one is able to "enjoy" music without being attached to it, then there is no breaking of precept. Attachment meaning cannot do without eg. like coffee, cigarettes etc. ( Notice how some of us just cannot drive from A - B without the radio or cd player on? ) So it includes Playing AND intentionally Listening to music/songs... I dont think it counts if you pass by a Hi-Fi store and they are blasting out songs by Madonna - problem with most of us ( me at least ), music can also invoke many… [cont.] Answered by Tiara - Thu Jan 25 22:55:05 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "buddhist precepts" |
