Five Precept Observance Group

Post by Khalil Bodhi »

Everyone,

I have just created a group dedicated to the observance of the Five Precepts here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fivepre ... ion=stream Please feel free to request to join and someone will add you. Here is a brief description of the group:
A group dedicated to the observance of the Five Precepts (Pancasila). A safe place for fellow Dhamma-farers to confess their faults, discuss their difficulties and find mutual support in kalyana-mittas (spiritual friends).
Bhavatu sabba mangalam! Every good blessing!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
-Dhp. 183

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Thank you Ben! I hope it will prove as useful to everyone else as it is for me.
