Greetings.🙏

As a fan-of and studier of one spiritual path, but Not in my eyes a 'true follower' of any - when I look at it, the five precepts associated with that path (just five, remember) cover such a vast amount of things as to point to a great practically 'all encompassing' insight having taken place. Absolutely. To me.

I know, people say these five precepts are just common sense hehe - and they really should be, yes.👍

So the five great stumbling blocks of man are essentially these:

1) No killing or harming any sentient being

2) No lying

3) No stealing

4) No sexual misconduct

5) No drinking, partaking in mind altering substances

Achieve these and it's all happy happy from there fam. We'll be lucky to get past the first precept. Namaste🙏
