What should I do if a layman who has been ordained at home breaks the five precepts, and what if I d

Venerable Mahinder replied: If you break one of the precepts, you are actually not keeping the five precepts very well.

There are two ways to receive the five precepts: the whole and the individual precepts.

If the five precepts are taken as a whole, then if one of them is broken, the others will also become invalid. If one article is accepted, only one of them will be invalid, and the other four will still be valid.

In the family's five precepts, you must deliberately violate them to break the vows. For example, when killing a living being intentionally kills another life, it is considered to be a broken vow, and unintentional and unintentional is not considered a crime. Speaking falsely and deliberately deceiving is considered a crime, and a mistake in the tongue because speaking quickly is not considered a crime.

There is no such thing as "convenient lies", even if the lie is beneficial to the other party, as long as there is deception, it is also a crime. What should I do if I break my vows? It should be re-ordained.

After re-taking it, the vows were restored.

We suggest that lay people should take the three refuges and the five precepts.

As a daily lesson, if you don't break the vows today, you can consolidate by taking three refuge and five precepts, and you can use the standards of the five precepts to check your words and deeds. If it is broken and re-absorbed, it can be recovered, as if the clothes are torn and repaired, and the body is injured and the medicine is applied.

Some great masters ask for a little relaxation when they talk about the precepts of laymen. If a layman breaks the layman's vows and has a strong sense of repentance, he will also be allowed to take it again.

If you find that your current chances of keeping your vows are not complete, you can also give up your vows. For example, if you feel that it is difficult to keep the vow of stealing, you will say in front of a person, "I can't keep this vow now, I want to give it up."

If you say it, he understands. In this way, the vow is given away, and this is the way to give up the vow. Generally speaking, the fault of giving up the vows is less than breaking the vows.

Don't kill, don't steal, don't lie, don't drink,—— this is the foundation of your practice, and if you can't do it, it's like the foundation of the edifice hasn't been laid, and you won't make the slightest progress in your practice.

It is advisable to repent earnestly and then go to the monastery to be re-ordination.

Repent and then re-ordination.

Breaking the vows does not lead to repentance, breaking the vows means that the vows are light, repentance is enough, and breaking the vows means that breaking the vows is not repentant if the vows are broken. The retribution of breaking the heavy vows is in hell!

The degree of transgression of any precept varies from degree to degree of repentance. But if you really break the unrepentant sins, which are the fundamental great precepts, then the five precepts are not repentant, and you can't live a long life. But if there is a transgression, but it is not unrepentant, it is possible to repent.

Why kill the living, because of your thoughts, whether it is to death or not, whether it is human or non-human to be killed; There are different definitions of lies, whether they say that they are righteous saints, can communicate with ghosts and gods, or ordinary petty lies, etc. The landlord can refer to this.

Very detailed. However, the bodhisattva vows are through repentance. This is also one of the aspects in which the bodhisattva vows are superior to the five vows.

It is advisable to study the pratimoksha vows that Khenpo Yeshe Phuntsok preached.

The five precepts of Buddhism, including those who abstain from alcohol.

In a narrow sense, alcohol refers to items that can make people unconscious.

There is also alcohol in a broad sense, which refers to something that can attract people's attention and cannot extricate themselves. For example, drugs, Internet addiction, and so on.

If the purpose of your Buddhist practice is just to be a Buddhist, then you should be fine if you drink a little bit of alcohol.

If the purpose of your practice is to achieve liberation, then it is very easy to drink too much alcohol and make mistakes. It is especially affected by meditation and meditation, so you should not drink alcohol.

However, alcohol-containing products, such as tofu and ten drops of water, can be eaten in moderation without the purpose of drinking.

Cultivators who aim to achieve liberation should not be greedy for alcohol under the pretext of cooking or taking medicinal wine, as that will deceive others and deceive themselves, and they will not be liberated in the end.

Practicing at home, since you keep the five precepts, it is better not to drink.

Hello landlord refuge, five precepts, to see whether there is a crime of seven sins, if there is a crime of seven sins, then you must first repent and ask to see a good appearance, before you can receive the five precepts, and even the bodhisattva vows, the connotation of the seven sin is as follows: out of the Buddha's body and blood, kill the father, kill the mother, kill the arhat, kill the Ajali, kill the monk, break the monk is basically difficult to commit, I think the landlord is unlikely to commit, then to receive the five precepts, you can take it yourself in front of the Buddha statue, or there is a person who has obtained the precepts to pass the precepts, explain to you the connotation, spirit, and gist of the three refuge and five preceptsThe point is: you are willing to take it, and you know the true meaning of taking refuge and taking vows.

As for the criteria for ordination, it is not clear after studying, but it can be said that in Buddhism, the real ordination is the renunciation of the heart, which is also important and valuable in the Dharma, not just the appearance of ordination. Then if one day, the landlord can personally witness the one who is not at home and not in the world, but can appear in the world and at home, then you are the only one who has entered the door and is really a monk.
