The Five Precepts
  1. For the purpose of training, I vow to refrain from taking life.
  2. For the purpose of training, I vow to refrain from taking what is not given.
  3. For the purpose of training, I vow to refrain from sexual misconduct.
  4. For the purpose of training, I vow to refrain from false speech
  5. 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.
