The Five Precepts


Ethics and morality are practical matters. People get wrapped up in the words used to describe ethical action. But being ethical is just doing what's right and not doing what's not right. Simple as that. Of course, sometimes it's hard to know what's right. That's when we rely on the precepts.

~Brad Warner, in Don't Be a Jerk 


The Five Precepts:

1...To respect and protect life.
2...To respect and protect the property of others.
3...To respect and protect sexual boundaries.
4...To respect and protect others through language.
5...To respect and protect oneself.
