三昧耶界 [san mei ye jie]—Samaya-sphere — [Term (術語 [shu yu])] Refers to the Dharma gate (法門 [fa men]) of Samaya (三昧耶 [san mei ye]). It is a general term for Esoteric Buddhism (密教 [mi jiao]).

三昧耶戒 [san mei ye jie]—Samaya Precepts — [Terminology (術語 [shu yu])] The ritual bestowed before conferring the Dharma Transmission Abhisheka (傳法灌頂 [chuan fa guan ding]). Samaya (三昧耶 [san mei ye]) has the meaning of not transgressing, therefore, in the general precepts (通戒 [tong jie]), it includes: first, taking the seat; next, the awakening bell ritual (驚覺鈴作法 [jing jue ling zuo fa]); taking refuge in life; moving the mind to repent; taking refuge; generating the mind to avert difficulties; inviting the master; the Kamma-vācā (羯磨 [jie mo]) and willow branch striking (楊枝打 [yang zhi da]); anointing with perfume; flower garlands; burning incense and lighting lamps; tooth-sticks; vajra thread; and vajra water. A Ritual Manual states: "In Esoteric Buddhist practice (密教修行 [mi jiao xiu xing]), Samaya Precepts (三摩耶戒 [san mo ye jie]) are the first gate. Now, at the completion of the Four Preliminary Practices (四度加行 [si du jia xing]) and at the time of Dharma Transmission Abhisheka, those who first receive the Samaya Precepts are of the degenerate age (末世 [mo shi])." Why is that? What are called Samaya Precepts are taking the three kinds of Bodhicitta (菩提心 [pu ti xin]) as precepts. For if one dwells in the mind of fundamental samadhi (根本三摩地 [gen ben san mo de]) and not in the mind of the three equalities (三平等則 [san ping deng ze]), then the practice will not be accomplished.
三昧耶戒—【術語】授傳法灌頂以前所授之作法也。三昧耶有不違越之義，故於通戒，初上座，次驚覺鈴作法，歸命，運心懺悔，歸依，發心遮難，請師，羯磨及楊枝打，塗香，花鬘，燒香燈明，齒木，金剛線，金剛水是也。諸儀軌訣影一曰：「密教修行，先三摩耶戒，初門也。今修四度加行終，傳法灌頂之時，初受三摩耶戒者，末世也。何則？所謂三摩耶戒者，以三種之菩提心為戒也。住於根本三摩地之心，而非三平等則之心，則行法不成就故也。」
