First: Committing to not cause harm

When the mind is wild with mockery
And filled with pride and haughty arrogance,
And when you want to show the hidden faults of others,
To bring up old dissensions or to act deceitfully,
And when you want to fish for praise
Or criticize and spoil another’s name
Or use harsh language, sparring for a fight,
It’s then that like a log you should remain.
-Shantideva

Second: Committing to take care of one another

Taking the………vow to help others implies that instead of holding our own individual territory and defending it tooth and nail, we become open to the world that we are living in. It means we are willing to take on greater responsibility, immense responsibility. In fact it means taking a big chance
– Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

We are all children of the great spirit. We all belong to Mother Earth. Our planet is in great trouble, and if we keep carrying old grudges and do not work together, we will all die.
-Chief Seattle

Third: Committing to embrace the world just as is

Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news
– Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Whatever is seen with the eyes is vividly unreal in emptiness, yet there is still form
Whatever is heard with the ears is the echo of emptiness, yet real
Good or Bad, happy or sad, all thoughts vanish into emptiness like the imprint of a bird in the sky.
– Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
