The
Second Precept
I
undertake the training rule to abstain from taking what is not freely
given.
Thich
Nhat Hanh's approach:
Aware
of the suffering caused by exploitation, social injustice, stealing,
and oppression, I am committed to cultivating loving kindness and
learning ways to work for the well-being of people, animals, plants,
and minerals. I will practice generosity by sharing my time, energy,
and material resources with those who are in real need. I am
determined not to steal and not to possess anything that should
belong to others. I will respect the property of others, but I will
prevent others from profiting from human suffering or the suffering
of other species on Earth.
