Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

avihiṁsā (equivalents: ahiṅsā; Skr. avihesā, ahiṃsā):1) 'harmlessness', nonviolence, absence of cruelty. The 'thought of harmlessness' (or: 'non-cruelty'; avihiṁsā-vitakka) is one of the three constituents of right thought (sammā-saṅkappa), i.e. the 2nd factor of the Eightfold Path (see magga). In the several lists of 'elements' (dhātu) appears also an 'element of harmlessness' (avihesā-dhātu), in the sense of an elementary quality of noble thought. See Dhp. 225, Dhp. 261, Dhp. 270, Dhp. 300.
