In the Book Mind of Clover, highly suggested reading for Jukai. Beautify read. Every page taught
me so much about the vows I was undertaking. I keep a copy next to my computer and I have the Kindle version. This is not necessarily holy but the path it outlines is long and demanding. I’m just beginning to understand th path I’ve chosen. Undertaking the Precepts

Oh, the wording is a bit otherwise here, although the words are not so vital as the meaning that each person comes to know in their hearts.
You will find discussion of the Precepts for our upcoming Jukai here:
The complete list from our Ceremony, however, is as follows, the Sixteen Bodhisattva Precepts:
The Three Devotions
Respectful devotion to Buddha, Respectful devotion to Dharma, Respectful devotion to Sangha.
Devotion to Buddha, the Guiding One; Devotion to Dharma, the Reality & Teaching; Devotion to Sangha, the Embracing Community.
Sincere devotion to Buddha, Sincere devotion to Dharma, Sincere devotion to Sangha.
The Three Pure & Universal Precepts
No.1: To seek as you can, in this body and life, to avoid doing harm
No.2: To seek as you can, in this body and life, to live in a healthful and helping way, doing good
No.3: To seek as you can, in this body and life, to live for the benefit of all Sentient Beings
The Ten Fundamental Precepts
I. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from the killing of life
II. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to live in generosity and refrain from taking that which is not given
III. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from misusing sexuality and all desire
IV. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from false and malicious speech
V. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from intoxication in its many forms
VI. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from unconstructively criticizing the errors and faults of others
VII. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from praising oneself and judging others
VIII. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from stinginess in bestowing the Buddhist Teachings and all precious things
IX. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from all anger
X. To seek as you can, in this body and life, to refrain from disparaging the Three Treasures, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha

To refrain from praising oneself and judging others! Please dears Sangha excuse me? I sometimes do not believe in myself!
