[Zen] The Ten Great Vows

[amazing63]

From: lou These vows help me remember how to come closer to that Great Perfection that we have heard so much about   THE TEN GREAT VOWS   I vow to respect and be kind to all forms of life.   I vow to respect the possessions of others.   I vow to use my sexuality to nurture and enhance my life and the lives of others.   I vow to speak the truth.   I vow to feed my body and mind and those of others healthful and wholesome substances and materials.   I vow to be kind when I speak of others.   I vow to treat myself and others as equals.   I vow to be generous with what I possess.   I vow to sow and water seeds of love in my life.   I vow to value and honor the Triple Treasure- The Buddha, The Dharma and The Sangha.   May All Beings Be Free From Suffering DONATIONS toward the building of a Dharma Hall at Daihoji are welcome.
