Sexual Misconduct

The essence of the third physical non virtue, sexual misconduct, is the act of engaging in intercourse with an object of desire with whom one has no authority to do so.

When divided, there are the following kinds.
1. It is unsuitable for a commoner to have intercourse someone under the guardianship of a king, such as his queen.
2. It is unsuitable to have intercourse with someone prohibited by the law.

3. In India, it is unsuitable to have casual intercourse with someone under the guardianship of parents, since men and women not in their own household are protected by their parents.

4. It is unsuitable to have intercourse with someone protected by
"civilized principles," which means someone with whom it is shameful, such as a mother or a sister.

5. It is unsuitable to have intercourse with someone under the guardianship of the sacred Dharma, such as the guru's consort, an ordained person, and so forth.

Lustful people do not enter the path of liberation. Tsogyal, apply the antidote.
