What is Youposai Youpoyi?

A person who believes in Buddhism and practices at home and converts three times is called Youposai; The woman who believes in Buddhism at home is called Youpoyi, also translated into Youposike, and translated into laity in China.

Youposai:

It has been translated into Wu Bo Suojia, Wupo Sai, Ipsec, etc. Free translation of Qing believers, people who are close to things, people who are close to goodness, people who are good at lodging, etc. A person who has experienced three conversions and five precepts and quit them is called a perfect woman. Strictly speaking, Youpersai should take the precepts of Youpersai as the code of action.

Youpoyi:

Women who are kind, good at accommodation and sincere in faith are all called Youpoyi. Now our country calls them female laymen, Sanskrit Upasika.

In China, the word "lay man" is often used to replace Youposai and Youpoyi, because both of them are transliterated in foreign languages and it is difficult to enter the Chinese system, while "lay man" is in Chinese, and its meaning is easy to understand.

A layman can accept the "Eight Officials Pavilion Ring" and live a monk's life for a while. You can also accept bodhisattva amulets, such as the Sanskrit Bodhisattva amulet. In that case, apart from not becoming a monk, there is not much difference between practicing and becoming a monk. The precept of Bodhisattva belongs to the precept of heart. If we can grasp it well, the results will be very remarkable.
