Ten Virtuous Actions
The ten positive actions that create good karma.
The ten virtuous actions are the opposites of the ten non-virtues: protecting life, generosity, responsible sexuality, truthfulness, harmonious speech, gentle speech, meaningful speech, contentment, love, and right view.
Act always as if the future of the universe depended on what you did.
Practicing the ten virtues ensures good fortune and spiritual progress.
