Precepts As Path

Seido talks about the way the bodhisattva precepts are firmly rooted in The Four Noble Truths. The Four Noble Truths include recognition of the human experience of suffering called dukkha , its cause as thirst, its end called nirvana, and the path to its end described in the eight-fold path. The eight-fold path is both an expression of and a requirement for embodying the bodhisattva precepts.
