We should practice the Buddhist recitals daily and try to develop the quality of Compassion in ourselves. We should not recite these recitals only when they face difficulties, problems and experience fear.



When reciting, our minds are free from other forms of false thinking and also the 3 mental poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance. As a result, we will have calmness and concentration which then gives rise to wisdom to discern clearly between good and evil.



In addition to the recitals, one should follow these rules, in order to purge our mind, speech and actions of impurities:-



(i) To abstain from killing

(ii) To abstain from stealing

(iii) To abstain from sexual misconduct

(iv) To abstain from false speech

(v) To abstain from intoxicants and alcoholic drinks
