A term from Korean Buddhism referring to a water purification ritual or ablution performed as part of spiritual practice.
From Korean 'getsul' (계술), combining 'gye' (precepts/rules) with elements related to ritual purification, documented in Korean Buddhist texts and practices.
Many religions have water rituals, but Korean Buddhism's getsul shows how the same spiritual impulse (cleaning body to clean spirit) takes different forms across cultures—it's water, but with entirely different meanings.
