The Ten Precepts have already been spoken of as kusaladharmas, which as we have seen really means ethical principles, as siksapadas or rules of training, and as avenues or ways of skilful (or wholesome) action, as well as in terms of their being the “Mula-Pratimoksa”, implicitly for all Buddhists and explicitly for the members of the Western Buddhist Order. It now remains for us to relate the Ten Precepts to certain of the other ethical formulae which are found figuring so prominently in Buddhist literature and Buddhist life.
