I shall try to observe these principles in my life, to the best of my abilities.
There are following five major violations pertaining to this vow of restrictions on purposeless violence:
1. Uttering words that would arouse passion, 2. Performing bad gestures, 3. Carelessly speaking meaningless jargons, 4. Collecting deadly weapons, or
