Hrī (Buddhism)

[3] The second sutta (Sn 2.3) is a question and answer dialogue between the Buddha and an ascetic regarding the nature of true friendship.

[6] The Abhidharmakośabhāsya lists hrī among the ten virtuous mental factors (daśa kuśalamahābhῡmikā dharma; 大善地法).

The Yogācāra tradition recognizes it as one of the eleven wholesome mental factors (ekādaśa-kuśala; 十一善).

The Pali Paṭṭhāna lists hiri among the twenty-five sobhana cetasikas or "beautiful mental factors."

Hiri often function in conjunction with apatrāpya (Pali: ottappa), or moral dread.
