The [mahāyāna] precepts or vows. An ordination of the [mahāyāna] tradition normally accepted for twenty hours during special occasions in the presence of a master or an image of the Buddha, taken by both lay and ordained Buddhists. This entails generating the mind of enlightenment and pledging to follow the footsteps of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the past in accordance with the ritual text of this ordination. On top of not eating meat, there are eight precepts to be observed (see- {bsnyen gnas yan lag bzhi}) conjoined with the motive of enlightenment.
