[Vrata]/ Ascetic practices. A term used to denote acts of penance involving religious practices; often associated with torturing one's body and exposing it to physical hardship for the attainment of spiritual goals. For a true Buddhist, these extreme practices are forbidden, however in tantric practice they are sometimes deemed necessary.
