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"
