In light of our intention to help beings, which is at the heart of the Three Pure Precepts, Rev. Clairissa considers a facet of the first of the Ten Great Precepts, the guideline on not killing. She explores the daily practice of sparing tiny bugs who cross our path. She looks at how to be with ourselves and others when we don’t manage to follow this aspect of the Dharma, and reflects on the benefits to us and all beings when we nurture the habit of not killing our insect friends.
