No Intoxicants.

Introduction.

'Buddha gave his students the outer rules to protect them from losing their way. Their goal is to avoid thoughts, words, and actions that stand in the way of a calm mind and to help people let go of attachments.

One of five promises is: "Do not get intoxicated"'.

-- Quoted from 'The Way Things Are' book by Lama Ole Nydahl.
