| Definitions | |
| Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism |
See page 667: In Sanskrit, “restraint proffered by the disciplinary code” (prätimokṣa); one of the three types of restraint (saṃvara) mentioned in the Vaibhäṣika school of Sarvästiväda abhidharma, which are associated with “unmanifest material force” or “hidden imprints” (avijñaptirūpa)... The restraint inherent in the disciplinary code creates a special kind of “force field” that automatically protects and dissuades monks and nuns from unwholesome activity, even when they are not consciously aware that they are following the precepts or when they are asleep. This specific type of restraint is what makes a person a monk or a nun, since just wearing robes and following an ascetic way of life would not in themselves be enough to instill in him or her the protective power offered by the prätimoksa. |
