In discussing the Six Paramitas and five precepts, I think the important thing is what kind of commitment you make to yourself and to the Dharma. Are you true to your commitment and can you be honest about your failings. This isn’t a game to impress others by putting on false appearances; it is about our own path to enlightenment and our ability to lead others to the Dharma. If we say we are going to do something then we should strive really hard to do just that, admit our failure and strive harder the next time to succeed. The better able we are to follow the precepts the better able we will to model the life of the Buddha and attain enlightenment and enable other to do so too.
