Samaya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Vajrayana Buddhism, samaya (Sanskrit, Tibetan damtsig) is the "sacred bond" formed between the vajra guru and disciple that protects both the disciple and integrity of the teachings. In one of the most widely followed teachings on samaya, Sakya Pandita, a preeminent 12th century Tibetan Buddhism scholar, outlined fourteen primary points of observance to consider in keeping one's samaya vow "pure."
