Twelve Vows of Layperson
Three Merit Vows (Guna-vrats): • Limited Area of Activity (Dik Vrata) • Limited use of Consumable and Non-consumable items
(Bhoga-Upbhoga Vrata) Avoidance of purposeless Sins (Anartha-danda Vrata)
Merit vows enhance and purify the effect of the five main vows. They govern our external conduct.
