A Buddhist's Diary January 19th 2009

The ten grave precepts are similar to the ten commandments. You don't need a lot of gray stuff to catch their drift

(1)
Do not kill
(2)
Do not steal
(3)
Do not be greedy
(4)
Do not lie
(5)
Do not be ignorant
(6)
Do not talk about others' faults
(7)
Do not elevate yourself by criticizing others
(8)
Do not be miserly
(9)
Do not get angry
(10)
Do not speak ill of the three treasures.

It is interesting that ignorance is considered a very bad state to be in. I like personal responsibility of this kind.
