141 - The Practice of Vow 2: Choosing the Direction We Want Our Lives to Take

The practice of vow is central in Buddhism, as I've discussed before . Vows – alternatively aspirations, intentions, or commitments, formal or informal – are a conscious choice we make about the kind of life we want to live, and the kind of person we want to be. Clarifying the vows we are already living, and the vows we still want to take on, can help give direction and meaning to our lives.
