FOURTEEN BASIC VIOLATIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS bsrung-bya'i dam-tshig

To disparage the master; to transgress the three levels of vows; to be hostile to vajra brothers and sisters; to forsake loving kindness on behalf of sentient beings; to abandon the enlightened mind; to disparage one's own doctrine or that of others; to divulge secrets to the immature; to abuse the FIVE COMPONENTS which are primordially pure; to be prejudiced about phenomena which are in any case intrinsically pure; to lack compassion for evil beings, especially those who harm the doctrine; to apply conceptualisa- tion to ineffable nature; to belittle those who have faith; to violate the com- mitments that have been undertaken; and to disparage women, the source of discriminative awareness. The source is Muldpattisan:zgraha, as quoted by Lessing and Wayman, Mkhas Grub RJe's Fundamentals ofthe Buddhist Tantras, (p. 328). 361

FOURTEEN
FOURTEEN BASIC VIOLATIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS bsrung-bya'i dam-tshig
rtsa-ltung bcu-bzhi, Skt. caturdasamulapatti
To disparage the master; to transgress the three levels of vows; to be hostile to vajra brothers and sisters; to forsake loving kindness on behalf of sentient beings; to abandon the enlightened mind; to disparage one's own doctrine or that of others; to divulge secrets to the immature; to abuse the FIVE COMPONENTS which are primordially pure; to be prejudiced about phenomena which are in any case intrinsically pure; to lack compassion for evil beings, especially those who harm the doctrine; to apply conceptualisa- tion to ineffable nature; to belittle those who have faith; to violate the com- mitments that have been undertaken; and to disparage women, the source of discriminative awareness. The source is Muldpattisan:zgraha, as quoted by Lessing and Wayman, Mkhas Grub RJe's Fundamentals ofthe Buddhist Tantras, (p. 328). 361
