The Eight Precepts
1)	Don't Cheat
2)	Don't be False
	Say what you really mean. Truth must never be twisted. Words and deeds must never contradict each other.
3)	Don't be Greedy
4)	Don't be Preposterous
	Be always satisfied with what you have. A single greedy act will hurt justice. A preposterous act is the root of calamity.
5)	Don't be Arrogant
6)	Don't be Lazy
	Respect those with authority. Be friendly with your subordinates. Be careful in your work. Pragmatism is the aim.
7)	Don't Grumble
8)	Don't Hate Others
	Life would be very carefree if we know how to forgive. Mutual hatred makes both parties miserable. With mutual hatred both would only suffer.
