The Five Noble A’s

The five noble A’s that are the driving force in my life:

• Anukampā – non-hatred; compassion and kindness.
• Ahiṃsā – non-cruelty and non-injury; not hurting any being in words, actions or thoughts.
• Ārjava – non-hypocrisy; honesty and straight-forwardness.
• Aparigraha – non-possession and non-greediness; detachment and service to others.
• Astēya – non-stealing; respect for private and public property.

I’ll expand more on these as time goes by.
