The
Importance of Sila (Virtue)
silam sila viya:
Virtue is like rock -- Virtue by Ajahn Mun
The importance
of practicing sila (virtue) cannot be understated. To me it is the
cornerstone of our practice as lay people. It is as important to practice
sila as it is to meditate regularly. In fact, I would venture to say that
in order to practice meditation with any great success, one is required
to practice sila. In reading the Kimattha
Sutta, I found the Buddha's words resonated within me. The key
to putting the Dhamma into practice is to eliminate remorse. Remorse clings to the past, makes the mind restless and impossible to concentrate. To eliminate
remorse makes possible all the benefits of the Dhamma.
The way we
as lay people can practice sila, is by observing the Five
Precepts. Quite often, people mistakenly (in my opinion) view the Five
Precepts as a set of commandments. This is not so. They are a practice,
just as sitting meditation is a practice. If sila is practiced rigorously, it can
give one much benefit. On this page, I will create links to internet
resources on sila. Read them and then try it. I think you will be
pleasantly surprised by the difference it will make to the rest of your
practice.
