Śīla nexus, (which is sīla (Pāli) in Buddhism) is also not a charka but more a nexus point to balance all the energies and is located in the upper chest region of the sternum at the same point as the Thymus gland. In both Sanskrit and Pali Buddhism the word sīla is more an ethical compass within self and relationships, rather than what is associated with cultural expectation of obedience or obligation, and external social or religious constraints. In fact, Buddhist commentaries explain the word sīla by another word, samadhana, meaning "harmony" or "coordination."
In Buddhism sīla 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. It is often described as virtue, right conduct, morality, or moral
