Yama: Precepts of Social Discipline
Ahimsa -- Non-violence. Not harming other people or other sentient beings.
Not harming onesself. Not harming the environment. Tolerance even for that
which we dislike. Not speaking that which, even though truthful, would injure others.
Satya -- Truthfulness. Note that sometimes we may know our words are literally
true, but do not convey what we know to be truthful. This is a child's game. Satya

actions.

purpose.

Avoidance of unnecessary acquisition of objects not essential to maintaining life or
