Shila Of Kefar Tamarta
Rabbi Shila of Kefar Tamarta ( he, שילא איש כפר תמרתא) was a Jewish Talmudist from the Land of Israel, who lived in the 3rd century (third generation of amoraim). In the Jerusalem Talmud he is usually called by his personal name, but in the Babylonian Talmud the name of his home in Judea is always added, in order to distinguish him from an older Babylonian amora who bore the same name. Shila was accustomed to deliver public aggadic lectures, and he is mentioned only in connection with aggadah; yet he seems to have been active in halakhah also, although no halakhic sayings of his have been preserved. Most of his surviving Biblical exegesis is taken from these discourses, each of which is prefaced by the formula: "R. Shila has preached". Megillah 18a,b; Sotah 35a; Shir haShirim Rabbah 8:9 Other aggadot of his are found in Midrash Tehillim to Psalms 80:7, and Tanhuma, Mishpaṭim Mishpatim (—Hebrew for "laws," the second word of the parashah) is the eighteenth ...

Shilabhattarika
Shila-bhattarika ( IAST: Śīlābhaṭṭārikā) was a 9th-century Sanskrit poet from present-day India. Her verses appear in most major Sanskrit anthologies, and her poetic skills have been praised by the medieval Sanskrit literary critics. Biography Shilabhattarika lived in the 9th century. One of her poems mentions the Narmada River (Reva) and the Vindhya mountains. Therefore, as a young woman, she probably lived along the Narmada River, near the Vindhyas. In 1993, M. B. Padma, a scholar of the University of Mysore, speculated that she may be same as Shila-mahadevi, the queen of the 8th century Rashtrakuta ruler Dhruva.

In 2023, Shreenand L. Bapat of Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute identified Shilabhattarika as a daughter of the Chalukya ruler Pulakeshin II, based on ...

Śīla
Buddhist ethics are traditionally based on what Buddhists view as the enlightened perspective of the Buddha. The term for ethics or morality used in Buddhism is ''Śīla'' or ''sīla'' (Pāli). ''Śīla'' in Buddhism is one of three sections of the Noble Eightfold Path, and is a code of conduct that embraces a commitment to harmony and self-restraint with the principal motivation being nonviolence, or freedom from causing harm. It has been variously described as virtue, moral discipline and precept. ''Sīla'' is an internal, aware, and intentional ethical behavior, according to one's commitment to the path of liberation. It is an ethical compass within self and relationships, rather than what is associated with the English word "morality" (i.e., obedience, a sense of obligation, and external constraint). ''Sīla'' is one of the three practices foundational to Buddhism and the non-sectarian Vipassana movement; ''sīla,'' ''samādhi'', and '' paññā'' as well as the Theravadin ...
