Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

膧迟尘补惫补诲丑补 (啶嗋い啷嵿ぎ啶掂ぇ, 鈥渟uicide鈥�) according to appendix 3 of the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra (chapter XX). As the Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra comments here, suicide (腻迟尘补惫补诲丑补), which harms no one else, is not a sin since sin consists of harming others, just as merit consists of doing good to others. But although suicide itself is not to be condemned, that does not mean that it should be recommended to all. A reasonable action in some, in others it can be madness.

Note: Among successful suicides (腻迟尘补惫补诲丑补), we may cite that of the Buddhas who turned the wheel of Dharma and converted disciples, that of pratyekabuddhas who judged the time had come to enter into nirv膩峁嘺, that of arhats who destroyed their passions and 鈥渄id what had to be done鈥� (k峁泃ak峁泃ya); finally, that of bodhisattvas who sacrificed their lives in honor of the Buddha or for the good of creatures. Thus, 艢膩kyamuni, having decided to die, spontaneously renounced his life force (膩yusa峁卙kh膩ra峁� assaji: Digha, II, p. 106).

Note: Suicide (腻迟尘补惫补诲丑补) seems to be reserved for very saintly and very virtuous people; others would do best to abstain. Often, the untimely attempt at suicide fails, not without, however, assuring the hopeless one of considerable spiritual benefits. Sih膩, hopeless at not progressing on the spiritual path, wished to hang herself; hardly had she knotted the cord around her neck than she attained arhathood; the cord loosened from her neck and fell to the ground (Ther墨gath膩, v. 77鈥�81).
