Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue appears from good deeds, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind. To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.

The Five Precepts

For the purpose of training I vow to refrain from taking life
For the purpose of training I vow to refrain from taking what is not given
For the purpose of training I vow to refrain from sexual misconduct
For the purpose of training I vow to refrain from false speech
For the purpose of training I vow to refrain from intoxicants which lead to carelessness
These Five Precepts are a vehicle of happiness, a vehicle of good fortune, a vehicle for liberation. Let our virtue therefore be purified and shine forth.

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship ~ Buddha
