2006 - France, Dechen-Choling, Shamhala_Buddhist meditation center. Acharia Robert Puts. Refrain from taking life: develops a more caring attitude, cuts through aggression, helps to avoid later regrets about hurting what is sentient. Refrain from taking what is not given: helps to avoid paranoia about being caught, creates trust toward precept holder. Refrain from the misuse of the senses. Not having too much sensual pleasure. Sometimes this one is not to have any sexual relations- helps to see how passion traps us into believing the source of happiness is in another person. But in a context of a retreat environment, this precept helps to avoid unnecessary dramas and traumas that develop from having a relationship with another person. Refrain from wrong speech. Sometimes stated as refraining from lying - creates trust toward the precept holder, helps to be clear about one's own inner motivations based on hope and fear. Refrain from intoxicants that cloud the mind - self explanatory. +
