This practice includes gentle reflection, the taking of the Five Precepts for the coming lunar cycle, meditation, and a simple closing dedication. The precepts are voluntary training commitments that support clarity, care, and steadiness of mind. While rooted in Buddhist practice, the ethical values expressed by the precepts reflect a universal orientation toward non-harming, honesty, care, and responsibility. They may be taken up meaningfully by anyone.
