How do you keep the Five Precepts intact?
When I was a student, I started training myself to observe
the Five Precepts. This is how I did it.
Before I was ordained, I wore a Buddha image around
my neck. Every morning before going to school, I would
hold the Buddha image in my hands and pay my respects by
chanting:
"Namo tussa bhakavato arahato summa
sumbuddhassa" three times.
And then I would make my resolve with the Buddha
image:
1. Today I will not kill.
2. Today I will not steal.
3. Today I will not commit adultery.
4. Today I will not lie.
5. Today I will not drink alcohol or use drugs.
Once I had done this, then I would leave for school. When
I started, sometimes I was able to keep the Five Precepts for
the day, but sometimes I couldn't. However, after half a year,
I was able to keep all Five Precepts everyday. After I was
able to abide by the Five Precepts for six years straight, then I
was ordained. Do you think you can do it too? I think you
can.
you.
life.
Conclusion
Let me go over the Five Precepts one more time with
Why should we not kill? Because everybody loves his
Why should we not steal? Because everybody needs
possessions to be comfortable. If certain things were taken
away from us, we will not be able to survive. Even if we
survive, our lives will be full of hardship.
Why should we not commit adultery? Because everybody
loves their family and friends.
Why should we not lie? Because every body loves
honesty and truthfulness.
Why should we not consume intoxicants? Because it
will destroy our conscience. Without our conscience, we would
be capable of infringing upon all the other Four Precepts.
Therefore, if you want to grow up to be good person, you
have to abide by the Five Precepts.
The writer hopes that this account will help parents to
teach their children to observe the Five Precepts, so that they
grow up to be good people. The accomplishment we can
feel most proud of is to raise our children to be ethical
adults.
