The eight vows or rab jung vows (tib. /rab 'byungs/)

The next step is already closer to the monk's or nun's lives, it concerns the eight vows, and within these eight vows, there is a transformation of the vows concerning the conjugal attitude which is close to monk, because the person taking this rab-jung ordination becomes chaste.

And now that we are dealing with rab-jung, the eight vows, we cannot choose which vows we would like and which vows we would not like, and we cannot choose the period of time we are taking them. That is, we have to take the eight vows at once, and at the moment we are taking them, we are taking them for our whole life
