Upāsaka: erinevus redaktsioonide vahel

{{pealkiri kaldkirjas}}

'''''Upāsaka''''' (meessoost) või '''''upāsikā''''' (naissoost) on [[Budism|budismi]] ([[Siddhārtha Gautama|Gautama Buddha]] õpetuse) järgija, kes ei ole pühitsetud [[Bhikkhu|mungaks]], nunnaks ega noviitsiks, kuid kes juhindub "Viiest tõotusest" ([[paali keel]]es ''pañcasīla'').<ref>Nattier (2003), p. 25, notes: "...[T]he term ''upāsaka'' (fem. ''upāsikā'') ... is now increasingly recognized to be not a generic term for supporters of the Buddhist community who happen not to be monks or nuns, but a very precise category designating those lay adherents who have taken on specific vows. ...[T]hese dedicated lay Buddhists did not constitute a free-standing community, but were rather adjunct members of particular monastic organizations."</ref> Tänapäeval on soovitatud termineid nagu "ilmik-pühendunu", "ilmik-järgija" või ka "[[ilmikvend]]" ehk "-õde".<ref>Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 150, entry for "Upāsaka," available at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?c.0:1:3992.pali{{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}; and, Encyclopædia Britannica (2007), entry for "upasaka," available at http://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9074383/upasaka.
