LEARN - (Chapter 7) - The Five Precepts: A Householders Guide to Daily Practice
Gotama Buddha gave us guidance to conduct life without harm to other beings or ourselves. This is titled “The Five Precepts”.
These are not commandments nor rules to follow, rather how to ensure you are not causing harm to others or yourself. By causing harm to others, we cause harm to ourselves by the Natural Law of Kamma. Through practice of these precepts, you will drastically eliminate unwholesome Kamma production and, thus, experience a more peaceful and content existence.
Gotama Buddha’s teachings are not to control an individual nor dictate what they should or should not do. But instead, provide guidance that when practiced will lead to Nibbana, liberation of the mind, a peaceful and content mind and, thus, a peaceful and content life. Everything in this practice is attained through personal choice.
If you have learned that Gotama Buddha taught, no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying, and no intoxicants...you have not learned The FIve Precepts in the way in which Gotama Buddha taught them. His teachings are much more detailed and illuminating than these basic translations.
In this Podcast, David will help you understand what Gotama Buddha taught regarding The Five Precepts and how to apply them to your daily life in modern times. We will explore the full teachings of The Five Precepts in this Podcast.
