Indriyasaṃvara

indriyasaṃvara (T. dbang po sdom pa; C. genlüyi 根律儀). Translated as “sensory restraint,” “guarding the sense organs,” etc.

An important factor in the development of mindfulness (smṛti, P. sati) and eventually concentration (samādhi), in which the meditator trains to see things as they actually are, rather than only in terms of oneself—i.e., as things we like, dislike, or are indifferent toward.
