• One of the two categories of precepts 二戒. Admonitions regarding the category of actions that can be considered as crimes regardless of the degree of one's participation in Buddhist practice—whether one is a novice, monk, nun, layperson, etc. This includes such basic harmful activities as killing 殺生, stealing 偸盜, debauchery 邪淫, and lying 妄語—which are also the four pārājikas 四波羅夷 (Skt. prakṛti-śīla). Also rendered into Chinese as 性罪戒, 性重戒, 主戒. and 舊戒, and distinguished from the relatively minor precepts regarding cultural mores such as drinking alcohol, eating pungent herbs, etc. 遮戒. 〔瑜伽論 T 1579.30.319a4〕 (Skt. prakṛti-śīla) 〔梵網經 T 1484.24.1003c24, 瑜伽論 T 1579.30.319a4〕 [resp. cmuller; source(s): Nakamura, JEBD, Hirakawa, Yokoi, Iwanami]
• moralité (commandements, conduite) naturelle [resp. Paul Swanson]
