Sangharakshita 
Ten Pillars of Buddhism 

The Ten Pillars of Buddhism are ten ethical precepts-such as generosity, truthfulness, or compassion-that together provide a comprehensive moral guide. These teachings are the source of Buddhist ethics, their depth revealed here as Sangharakshita considers them collectively, then individually. The Ten Pillars of Buddhism provides a fascinating insight for anyone interested in leading an ethical or Buddhist life. "A handy and easily readable introduction to Buddhist ethics." Prof Damien Keown, author of Buddhism: A Very Short Introduction.
