A mid-vow is halfway between a vow and a non-vow. It is a commitment or promise to do something that does not rise to the level of either a vow or a non-vow. It can be either virtuous or non-virtuous. Virtuous examples include vowing not to eat until you prostrate to the Buddha or committing to donating food for a month or half a month. Non-virtuous examples include vowing to kill someone or to steal something. | |||
The translations "vow with limited time span" and "limited vow" are somewhat misleading. First of all, the mid-vow is not a vow because it not any one of the three vows, and because it can be either virtuous or non-virtuous. The latter reason pervades because vows are always virtuous. Secondly, the vows that have limited time spans--the fasting or brnyen gnas vows--are not mid-vows because they are vows of individual liberation. [[User:DKC|DKC]] | |||

Discussion
A mid-vow is halfway between a vow and a non-vow. It is a commitment or promise to do something that does not rise to the level of either a vow or a non-vow. It can be either virtuous or non-virtuous. Virtuous examples include vowing not to eat until you prostrate to the Buddha or committing to donating food for a month or half a month. Non-virtuous examples include vowing to kill someone or to steal something.
The translations "vow with limited time span" and "limited vow" are somewhat misleading. First of all, the mid-vow is not a vow because it not any one of the three vows, and because it can be either virtuous or non-virtuous. The latter reason pervades because vows are always virtuous. Secondly, the vows that have limited time spans--the fasting or brnyen gnas vows--are not mid-vows because they are vows of individual liberation. DKC
