BuddhaField
Helping at the Buddhafield Festival 2008
Buddhafield 2008 is organised by practising buddhists, attempting to exemplify the qualities of infinite Wisdom, Compassion and Positive energy and to create an environment where others can experience a taste of these qualities.
To help us we take on 5 training principles and as contributors to Buddhafield 2008 we ask you to join us in trying to make these training principles a way of life on the site.
The 5 principles are,
To Try Not to Take Life or Cause Harm
Cafes on the site are Vegetarian/Vegan. Buddhafield has a strong ecological thread.
To Try Not to take the Not Given
We try to be aware of what we take from others in all its aspects, goods, time, energy...
To Try Not to Indulge in Sexual Misconduct
We try not to use sexuality to exploit or coerce others.
To Try Not to Lie
We try to be honest in our communication.
To Try Not to Take Intoxicants
We have a policy of discouraging the consumption of intoxicants on the site. We need clear minds to put these principles into practice!
Note these are training principles and we acknowledge that we don't always live up to our principles, and that the process of training is one of exemplifying these principles more and more deeply.
Also we live in a world where these principles are not valued as highly as we value them and sometimes we have to engage with the world on its own terms to protect that which we value.
