The Murder of Precepts
#1 AVOID KILLING
Give up killing living creatures! Banish all punishment and violence! Create a sanctuary, a paradise, by being careful and kind—full of compassion for all living beings! Let your love be boundless, unlimited, and absolute! Have no enemies, as they all become just: people who can’t recognize a friend!

People ruled by thirst are like snared rabbit. Tethered and bound to return to their suffering!

“Cursed is the venom once spat—forced to swallow back to survive! Death would be better than living!” said the Snake.
