ABSTRACT
The cultivation of enlightened mind requires observance of the six or ten transcendental perfections (pāramitā), but monastic vows, as observed by śrāvakas and Solitary Buddhas, are optional.20 As for the third turning commentarial tradition, the mentions forty-six transgressions (nges-byas zhe-drug),21 which include thirty-four contradicting the gathering of virtuous doctrines and twelve contradicting activity on behalf of others. The former comprise seven contradicting liberality, nine contradicting moral discipline, four contradicting patience, three contradicting perseverence, three contradicting concentration, and eight contradicting discriminative awareness. The latter comprise those transgressions which separate living beings from both general and particular acts of benefit.
