無畏施 [wu wei shi]—(Wúwèi shī) — [Term] One of the Three Givings (三施 [san shi]). It refers to bestowing fearlessness upon others. For those who uphold the precepts (持戒 [chi jie]), there is no intent to kill. For all sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]), no fearlessness is greater than that which arises from this, and this is called the Giving of Fearlessness.
無畏施—【術語】三施之一。以無畏施於人也。持戒之人無殺害之心，一切眾生之無畏無過於此，名曰無畏施。
