The Significance of Vows | January 24, 2015


Vows play a central role in Buddhist practice. They are not commandments from God, nor do they represent a covenant, but instead are a mechanism for making merit, the good karma that leads to happiness in this life and the next.

- Donald S. Lopez Jr., "Ghosts, Gods, and the Denizens of Hell"
