[Glipseagrilia]

For coping with the precepts -five, eight or ten- it is important to keep in mind the way the teachings of Gotama Buddha are build, so the precepts. To take the precepts into life there is needed meditation, ethical conduct and wisdom.

Through meditation the mind becomes more sensible to thoughts and actions about cheating, lying, killing (or the idea of killing), taking intoxicants, harming, stealing, etc.

As we develop wisdom and discernment we undertake actions and develop conducts -ethical conduct- that prevent us from killing, harming, taking intoxicants, lying, cheating, stealing.

As we approach arhathood precepts are less as guidelines or strict observance and more a way of existence.
