སོ་ཐར་གྱི་སྡོམ་པ་གཏོང་ཚུལ
Mipham Rinpoche: [[dge slong sogs ji srid 'tsho'i mtha' can rnams, shi ba dang brda 'phrod pa'i drung du 'slab pa phul bas gtong la, gzhan yang dge rtsa chad pas bsrung 'dod kyi gzhi rten med pa dang, mtshan gnyis cig char byung bas sdom pa'i lus rten can du mi rung bas kyang gtong ngo]] The vows of individual liberation, monk vows and so forth, endure for as long as one lives. They are abandoned at death or when the precepts are given back in the presence of someone who can understand the gesture. Moreover, they are abandoned by interrupting the root of virtue since the basis for the wish to keep them no longer exists, or by the simultaneous occurrence of two genders, whereby one is not a suitable physical support for the vows.
