Taking the 8 Buddhist Precepts for Ethical Living for a 24-hour period creates an opportunity to simplify our daily lives so that effort can be put into training in the mind. Practicing the precepts is an opportunity to strengthen our mindfulness and help us clarify a path of harmlessness towards ourselves and others.

You can practice these precepts while keeping your ordinary commitments (e.g. family time, work, exercise). Beyond that, you are encouraged to take some time in your day for quiet contemplation (e.g. seat or walking meditation).
