The Eight Mahayana Precepts transmission

Maitreya Buddha said: “Anyone who follows the Dharma of Shakyamuni Buddha by keeping the Eight Mahayana Precepts will be reborn as my disciple.” Thes eight vows, taken before sunrise on the days of the full moon and new moon, are maintained for 24 hours. This practice has a great power of purification and allows the generation of an extremely vast positive karma on the Path to Enlightenment.
