How do you live a righteous life? Apparently there are a minimum of 5 precepts to guide you. After quizing some of the long term members on what the 5 were, and getting partial answers, the leader stepped in. "OK", she said, "The five are; killing, lying, improper sexual behavior, use of intoxicants, and ...hmmm, what was that last one? Oh yeah stealing." "No beer?", I asked. "Yes", "no alcohol", she responded. I wasn't about to ask for a clarification on improper sexual behavior, and luckily someone took up the conversation with a focus on killing. "Does that mean we should be vegetarians?" This was going to be an interesting conversation!
