Sāmāyika, from sama, “equal”, is a daily rite of forty-eight minutes in which the practitioner renounces harmful activity, sits still, and cultivates equanimity toward all beings, friend and foe, gain and loss. It is the first of the six obligatory duties and, for lay people, a foretaste of the ascetic life.
