Scott,
That raises the natural question even despite, as you say, "the way in which
everything comes into being", of: how is it possible to violate (break) the
Precepts?
There are ten Grave precepts which all practitioners accept (who choose to do
so when given the opportunity to study them and uphold them), and many more
precepts than that (numbering over one hundred) which monastics of both sexes
take (women take more). The Grave Precepts is/are the list that begins with
"No Killing".
To re-phrase the question, then -- if you or anyone will take it up -- or to
phrase a new one, half in your words, and half in mine:
"Considering the way in which everything comes into being, how is it possible
to violate (break) the Precepts?"
--Joe
PS (I have a two- or three-word answer I'll share, afterwards; Not to worry,
the words are multi-syllabic).
