The somaya (Tibetan: དམ་ཚིག, Wylie: dam tshig, Japanese and Chinese: 三昧耶戒, J: sonmaya-kai, C: Sān mè yē jiè), is a set of vows or precepts given to initiates of an esoteric Vajrayana Buddhist order as part of the abhiṣeka (empowerment or initiation) ceremony that creates a bond between the guru and disciple.
According to Keown, et al., samaya may be defined as:
A particular system of teaching or doctrines;[1]
The conduct required of a tantric practitioner, often as a set of vows or commitments;[1][2]
The realization (abhisamaya) of Buddhahood;[1]
In Tantric Buddhism, union with the trikaya, the body, speech and mind of the Buddha.[1]
