The 21 Precepts of akta-aiva Dharma

AKTA-AIVA DHARMA

GUIDELINES FOR ENLIGHTENED CONDUCT

Each of these precepts, when explored through
application and contemplation, yield the
experience that human beings are able to express
these various innate capacities. We realize that we
are sharing a profoundly fundamental human
experience when we connect to these capacities
(virtues) of the One Dharmakshetra the eld of
Dharma that is our life and environment as
expressed through our activities of body, speech
and mind, in other words, our conduct. Through
precept training, we may recognize our true
situation that we are immersed in Dharmakshetra
the eld of Dharma.
Conduct (Acarah in sanskrit) is the path of our
practice AND the fruit. Conduct is the moment to
moment expression of our integration or
disintegration with the ow of Natural Presence (Dharma). Dharmic conduct is
inherent wisdom and spontaneous expression of View. We can perform meditation,
yoga, mantra, and so forth as aspects of our path, but the path itself, our body and
its activities, is where the Dharma really comes alive and is experienced.

others.
