Pursuing a deeper understanding of life and reality,
Both the knowledge and the mystery at the center of all being.
Refraining from harmful thoughts, words or deeds,
Seeking a mutually beneficial relationship with all life and creation.
Living a life committed to spiritual practice,
Embodied in periods of contemplation and skillful action in the world.
Cultivating responsibility and mature self-understanding
Through an honest investigation of my own motives and actions.
