Continuing from yesterday's Suzuki lecture excerpt

This is fifth precept. In fifth precept we say, “Don't take, don't sell, or don't buy intoxicating liquor.” Don't buy [laughs]-- don't buy some images, or don't sell some images, some intoxicating liquor, some attachment. Don't sell any attachment to anyone. Don't buy any attachment from outside. 

Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 65-07-29-A as found on shunryusuzuki.com - Edited by DC
