Through the study of the 5 basic precepts this book treats the conditions of a morally correct existence according to the teachings of the Buddha. It describes the four sublime states of the Theravada tradition and the Great Compassion of bodhisattvas in the Mahayana tradition. The application of these principles consolidates all real spiritual commitment, which can be summed up as love and universal responsibility.
The present book allows us to scrutinize in detail all the elements that must be taken into account if the opening up of the heart, an indispensable accomplishment on the spiritual path, is to become fully active.
