"If we don't practice the precepts, we aren't practicing mindfulness. I know
some Zen students who think that they can practice meditation without
practicing precepts, but that is not correct. The heart of Buddhist meditation
is the practice of the precepts. You cannot meditate without practicing the
precepts."
-from The Heart of The Buddha's Teaching, page 82
