Zen precept #6: Embrace and sustain all beings.
This is the last of the Three Pure Precepts which are intended to purify my mind of duality. It is about the renunciation of the intention to benefit only myself. Roshi Anderson describes this as "transcending our dualistic karmic consciousness" and "putting the welfare of all beings before myself."
My take is on this precept to be aware of and let go of my selfish ways, especially as I walk this spiritual path, and not split my consciousness by only thinking of myself. To bring everyone along in my mind, with generosity, compassion and uprightness.
