<\/font><\/div>\n
\n
We are guided to abstain from harming others and ourselves, to abstain from taking life, from taking what is not given through stealing or dishonesty, to abstain from destructive sexual conduct. Positively stated, right action is to act kindly and compassionately, to be honest, to respect others, and to keep relationships healthful.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

As we can, we act seeking to avoid harm to oneself or others, and in ways healthful and helpful to oneself and others … knowing that there is, ultimately, no difference between oneself and others.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
