Guided Meditation for the 5 precepts

So just sit comfortably and close your eyes gently

So lets visualise a beautiful house

lets do that know

It has lovely gardens, its in the countryside.

We can start by walking up to the house. The door is brilliant white and it has door knocker which has three gems on it, red, green and blue, in colour.

The red gem represents the Buddha - awareness, mindfulness

the green represents the Dhamma- the teachings of the Buddha,

blue represents the Sangha the people that explorer the Buddhas teaching.

You open the door and walk in to a house that is painted brilliant white.

As you walk in there is a door on the left and it has glass door which you can look through and as you look inside you can see many different animals happily talking to one another and many people looking after one another.

This door is to remind us that

 

***we can act for the welfare and happiness of all beings

You carry on into the house and a beautiful person approaches you with a gift you take delight in this.

**** This remind us - we can be honest and generous and take delight in giving and sharing

You look at this person and see the goodness in that person.

Perhaps you want to say something to this person, you can think about what you might say that is friendly, honest and kind.

*** This remind us - we can try to speak the truth, promote concord and friendship, speak kindly, gently and beneficially

If you want to say something you can.

*** this remind us - we can be honest and sincere in relationship with others, nurturing true love and compassion.

Its time to leave the house now, just as you walk out another person comes up to you the person looks quite funny. This person has a fat belly and a very small mouth and long neck. The person ask you to follow him, he wants to offer you something that will harm you mind and body. You smile at this person, he suddenly disappears.

*** this reminds us  - we can strive to keep our minds clear, alert, mindful, and unconfused as much of the time as possible.

You walk out the door, touching the door knocker and looking at the beauty of the three gems. You walk down the path and back into this room.

You can feel the body sitting on the mat, you can open your eyes when ready, have a look around the room and see the other people.
