Dasa Sil Mata is a term in the Buddhist religion that means "Ten Precepts Mother". In simpler terms, it refers to someone, usually a woman, who follows a set of ten important rules or guidelines in their daily life to become a better person and achieve enlightenment.
These ten rules are:
1. To refrain from killing any living creatures
2. To refrain from stealing
3. To refrain from sexual misconduct
4. To refrain from telling lies
5. To refrain from consuming alcohol or any other intoxicating substances
6. To refrain from eating meals after midday
7. To refrain from singing and dancing, or enjoying any other forms of entertainment
8. To refrain from using luxurious beds and seats
9. To refrain from wearing ornaments and perfumes
10. To refrain from accepting money
By following these ten precepts, a Dasa Sil Mata aims to improve themselves and their relationship with others, while also achieving inner peace and enlightenment. It is believed that by following these rules, one can develop a strong ethical foundation, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life.
In the Buddhist culture, Dasa Sil Mata is typically considered a highly respected and revered figure, as their commitment to following these rules is seen as a major accomplishment towards leading a more spiritually fulfilling life.
