The Five Precepts:
1. Panatipata veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from destroying living creatures.
2. Adinnadana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given.
3. Kamesu micchacara veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual misconduct.
4. Musavada veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from incorrect speech.
5. Suramerayamajja pamadatthana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyami
I undertake the precept to refrain from intoxicating drinks and drugs which lead to carelessness.
I try my best to follow these nowadays… don’t know why suddenly I’m such a good Buddist… ^^ Even lying! I’ve finally kick the bad habit of lying! I’ve stop believing that lies are required in the modern society… I think a person is much better of if he is purely honest in everything he does… and if he is purely honest, he won’t go wrong in life… =)
