The longer I practice, the more I find this to her true. Tragedies can occur but nothing has quite the destructive power of a moral failure. Silā and the way of the Noble Ones (which is more inclusive in my mind than the basic precepts) is not solely the dot to the path but is post and parcel of the path itself.
May I always strive to improve my character and observe silā.
