c) The divisions, i) The actions of body:
Everything from maliciously killing worms and insects, knowingly cutting off their lives, and striking them, chopping them up, and so forth is included in cutting off life. Taking what is not given is stealing the wealth of others, and related is using fraud to have them given. Sexual transgression, refers to another's spouse, those who are close relatives, or not in their right minds, or deliberately having sex at an improper place or time. Included are intercourse in forbidden parts of the body, such as the hands [masturbation]. The Abhidharmakosha says:
The commentary on the Drowa Namje says [about sexual fantasy and masturbation]: From The Great Perfection: The Nature of Mind, the Easer of Weariness called the Excellent Chariot by Longchenpa. In Sanskrit the title is Mahasandhi citta visranta vritti maharatha nama, In Tibetan Rdzogs pa chen po/ sems nyid ngal gso'i/ shing rta chen po/ shes bya ba |
