Virtue, morality. The quality of ethical and moral purity that prevents one from falling away from the eightfold path. Also, the training precepts that restrain one from performing unskillful actions. Sila is the second theme in the gradual training, one of the ten pāramīs, the second of the seven treasures, and the first of the three grounds for meritorious action (see dāna and bhāvanā).
