When we receive the precepts we really don’t have a clue what it means but as our life unfolds we begin to really appreciate
what it’s all about. You’ll notice that I have changed the precepts. I’ve made them more positive rather than negative. Rather
than, “refrain from killing,” I said, “appreciate, protect and support all life.” That is how it unfolds. To appreciate all life is not
only to appreciate living beings but also includes animal realms and also the inanimate, the plants and the stones, the
mountains and the great earth as equal to our own. That is the unfolding of the kai, the life of the Bodhisattva, and the path of
the human being. |
