be impeccable (read all 6 entries…)
buddhist ethics lead to impeccability 3 years ago

Sila means virtue, ethics, morality, self-discipline, impeccability. Sila is a beautiful Sanskrit and Pali word. It means that which cools the intense broiling, roiling stew of passions and conflicting emotions. It’s like a shade tree in the desert of blazing, conflicting emotions, a shelter where we can find relief. Nonattachment, integrity, and a righteous, honest, impeccable life provides a shelter, a true refuge in our confusing times.

I've heard

see-lah and shee-lah; not sure if it is pali versus sanskrit.. you often hear Ss followed by vowels with a “sh” sound.

I’ve also seen it spelled “shila”.

Muriel is realizing her life circumstances.

In Turkish

It apparently means homesick.
There is also “Silas,” usually for boys, which means wood.
