> seriously, where did you get that? Dont make up things dude.

So now let's review the five precepts, shall we....

1. I will be mindful and reverential with all life,
I will not be violent nor will I kill.
2. I will respect the property of others, I will not steal.
3. I will be conscious and loving in my relationships,
I will not give way to lust.
4. I will honor honesty and truth, I will not deceive.
5. I will exercise proper care of my body and mind,
I will not be gluttonous nor abuse intoxicants.

Guess which one you violated....
