When the vajra master performs abhiṣeka, the disciple's being is bound together with the master and the deities of the maṇḍala. The disciple becomes irrevocably committed to regard his master as an embodiment of enlightenment, and to retain sacred outlook in all his experience. During the abhiṣeka ceremony, the disciple formally takes the samāyā oath. However, in some sense, the samāyā principle becomes active as soon as master and student establish a vajrayāna relationship.<br> The samāyā vow is experiential and can be violated in a moment of thought. As Atīśa said, "keeping samāyā is like keeping a mirror polished-as soon as you have cleared it, dust begins to alight." The most important samāyā is a proper attitude toward one's root guru. Besides that, the principal points are maintaining the essence of hīnayāna and mahāyāna discipline, and extending sacred outlook throughout one's experience.

These are the vows associated specifically with the Vajrayāna. Jamgön Kongtrül explains, "The word ''samaya'' means 'pledged commitment,' 'oath,' 'precept,' etc. Hence, this refers to a vajra promise or samaya because one is not to transgress what has been pledged. Samaya vows involve both benefit and risk because, if kept, samaya vows become the foundation for all the trainings of Mantra. If not kept, however, all the trainings become futile." There are innumerable divisions of the samaya vows found in the various tantras. At the most fundamental level, however, one pledges to continually maintain the view of the enlightened body, speech, and mind of the buddhas. [LW 46], speech, and mind of the buddhas. [LW 46])
