Our tour guide was great at sharing quirky stories, as well as, his thoughts and experiences as a Buddhist. I particularly found his description of the moral percepts of Buddhism, the sila, to be similar to many of the Ten Commandments. Such as abstaining from killing, stealing, lying, immoral behavior and drunkenness. He went on to explain though that when one sins, or breaks the moral percept, it is because of ignorance (and that the journey to overcome such ignorance takes innumerable lifetimes) and karma.
