moral practice, good
character, Buddhist ethics, code of morality, (a) The
dasa-sila or 10 items of good character (ho( " commandments
") are (i) pan4tipata veramani, i. e. abstinence
from taking life ; (2) adinn'adana (from) taking what is
not given to one; (3) abrahmacariya adultery (otherwise
called kamesu miccha-cara); (4) musavada telling
lies ; (5) pisuna-vacaya slander ; (6) pharusa-vacaya
harsh or impolite speech ; (7) samphappalapa frivolous
and senseless talk; (8) abhijjhaya covetousness
(9) byapada malevolence; (10) micchaditthiya heretic
views. — Of these 10 we sometimes find only the first 7
designated as " sila " per se, or good character generally.
See e. g. A 1.269 (where called sila-sampada) ; 11.83 sq.
(not called " sila "), & sampada. — (6) The paAca-sHa
or 5 items of good behaviour are Nos. 1-4 of dasa-sila,
and (5) abstaining from any state of indolence arising
from (the use of) intoxicants, viz. sura-meraya-majjapamada-tthana
veramani. These five also from the
first half of the 10 sikkha-padani. They are a sort of
preliminary condition to any higher development after
conforming to the teaching of the Buddha (saranaggamana)
and as such often mentioned when a new
follower is " officially " installed, e. g. Bu 11. 190 : saraniigamane
kanci nivesesi Tathagato kafici paiicasu
silesu sile dasavidhe parar). From Pv iv.i" sq. (as also
fr. Kh II. as following upon Kh i.) it is evident that the
sikkhapadani are meant in this connection (either 5 or
10), and not the silag, cp. also Pv IV. 3'° sq., although
at the above passage of Bu and at J
1.28 as well as at
Mhvs 18, 10 the expression dasa-sila is used : evidently
a later development of the term as regards dasa-sila
(cp. Mhvs trsl' 122, n. 3). which through the identity
of the 5 Silas & sikkhapadas was transferred to the 10
sikkhapadas. These 5 are often simply called pailca
dhanuna, e. g. at A in. 203 sq., 208 sq. Without a
special title they are mentioned in connection with the
" saranai) gata " formula e. g. at A iv.266. Similarly
the 10 'Silas (as above a) are only called dhamma at
A 11.253 sq. ; v. 260 ; nor are they designated as sila at
A 11.22 1 — . pancasu silesu samadapeti to instruct in the
5 Silas (alias sikkhapadani) Vin 11. 162. — (c) The only
standard enumerations of the 5 or 10 silas are found at
two places in the Saijyutta and correspond with those
given in the Niddesa. See on the 10 (as given under
a) S IV. 342 & Nd* s. V. sila ; on the 5 (also as under b)
S 11.68 & Nd* s. V. The so-called 10 silas (Childers) as
found at Kh 11. (under the name of dasa-sikkhapada)
are of late origin & served as memorial verses for the
use of novices. Strictly speaking they should not be
called dasa-sila. — The eightfold sila or the eight pledges
which are recommended to the Buddhist layman (cp.
Miln 333 mentioned below) are the sikkhapadas Nos.
1-8 (see sikkhapada), which in the Canon however do
