is the exercise of meditation enjoined upon the Buddhist priests. At the close of the day, or at the dawn, they must seek a place where they will be free from interruption, and, with the body in a suitable posture, they must meditate on the glory of Buddha, the excellence of the bana (q.v.), and the virtues of the priesthood.
