Geshe Namdak explores the three types of vows in Buddhism: vows for self-liberation, Bodhisattva vows, and Vajrayana vows, applicable to both monastics and laypeople. Vows serve as commitments to abstain from negative actions. By promising not to engage in certain behaviors, one not only avoids negative actions but also fosters a virtuous state of mind, enhancing personal happiness and spiritual progress. Find out more about the power of vows with Geshe Namdak in this video.
