"In making a voluntary commitment to sila, Munindra recognized its intrinsic value in creating harmony. Honoring the precepts is considered a 'great gift' (mahadana) to others, for it creates an atmosphere of trust, respect, and security. It means we pose no threat to another person's life, property, family, rights, or welfare."
