An ethical life is composed of purity of action, purity of speech and purity of livelihood. Upholding it requires not only determination but proper comprehension as well. From the perspective of abstaining (v\u0101ritta\u1e43) to the perspective of performing (c\u0101ritta\u1e43), this talk aims to support the understanding of the deeper aspects of S\u012bla. Integrating selected quotes from the direct words of the Buddha and the commentaries, it highlights the different aspects of S\u012bla, proceeding in the order of the precepts. It addresses the detailed definition of each precept, the underlying volition of the act to be performed, its manifestation and its results.
