In that book, there is a small section where he speaks specifically about deliberately breaking precepts in order to undo the bindings that the practice can leave. The practice can leave a kind of ghost in the machine that must be removed. | |

| Nov 30, 2022 at 11:57 | comment | added | user17652 | Yes. You can even break the not killing precept under certain conditions. I did this myself with insects, as the practice had become a hindrance. I had created a cocoon around myself that did not favour living a householder life. I didn't want to join a sangha or monastery, so I broke free. Best thing I ever did! However, this question needs to be answered with care, consideration and a great deal of wisdom for obvious reasons. | |
