DESCRIPTION
The practice of these nine vehicles of Tibetan Buddhism involves vows, precepts, and commitments. There are many divisions to these, but, in essence, they fall under three sets of vows (sdom gsum). The pratimoksa vows of the Hinayana concern all the lay and monstic precepts of ethical conduct taught by Lord Buddha in the Vinaya. The Bodhisattva vows of the Mahayana are embodied in the generation, cultivation, and preservation of Bodhicitta, the vows to dedicate all one's thoughts, words and actions towards the benefit of others and to lead all beings to complete enlightenment. The Samayas are the precepts and commitments of the Vajrayana, which formalize the all-important bonds with one's guru, fellow disciples, and spiritual practice.
