- Pānātipātā veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi [non-violence]
Maybe yeet that spidey boi out the window instead of stomping them into oblivion beneath your platform boot?
- Adinnādānā veramani sikkhāpadam samadiyami [only take what is offered]
No matter how bussin the food or drippy the rags or boujee the crib—if it’s not given, it’s not giving.
- Kamesu micchacara veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi [abstain from sexual harm]
Did you watch that “Tea and Consent” video in sex ed?
Also, think of your wellbeing—even if their rizz is off the charts, even if they’re simping for you hard—if they give your heart the ick, hop off that dick.
- Musāvādā veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi [truthful speech]
Stay in pocket.
Stash the salt in the pantry.
Keep the gates wide open.
Be Caring, don’t be a Karen.
Don’t gaslight, gas ’em up.
And that’s on cap.
- Surā-meraya-majjapamādatthāna veramani sikkhāpadam samādiyāmi [refrain from intoxicants that cloud the heart/mind]
Have you been tweaking?
Even ancient yogis got lit—iykyk
But if you find that hit is hitting different—and not a good different—if your trip literally has you tripping—if the booze puts you in a snooze—honor your body, heart, and mind.
