It may be appropriate to publicly declare one%u2019s principles, stating:%u201cAs a practitioner of Buddhism, I abstain from consuming meat, pungent food, and alcohol. I do not engage in unethical dealings such as accepting bribes. I refrain from meddling in personal disputes over right and wrong and avoid arbitrarily bestowing praise or punishment. I wish for all citizens, both military and civilian, to be aware of these commitments.%u201d When presiding over trials or cases%u2014whether overseeing court proceedings, evaluating evidence, or ensuring fairness by protecting the legal rights of all involved%u2014a virtuous lay practitioner (serving as a judge) should maintain an impartial mindset. Beyond interpreting and applying the law to deliver just rulings, such a judge can demonstrate compassion by explaining the universal Law of Cause and Effect and its corresponding retributions. This guidance can inspire all parties involved to reflect on their actions and strive to become virtuous, law-abiding citizens.When greeting visitors, in addition to extending basic courtesies, one can engage guests in meaningful conversations grounded in the spirit of Buddhadharma. For those in leadership positions, opportunities such as weekday evening gatherings can be used to provide subordinates with guidance on the Law of Cause and Effect, as appropriate to the circumstances. When such teachings are well-received, subordinates are more likely to become conscientious and dedicated in their duties, reducing the likelihood of fraud or deception. This principle applies equally to military officers, encouraging discipline and focus among their subordinates while minimizing disruption to civilians.Before appointing a subordinate, it is advisable for the officer in charge to assess whether the candidate can abide by the principles of the Dharma. This ensures that those selected are more likely to perform their duties ethically and effectively.%uff08%u70ba%u5b98%u7b2c%u5341%uff09%u3010%u767d%u8a71%u3011%u5c45%u58eb%u64d4%u4efb%u5b98%u8077%uff0c%u65e2%u7136%u6709%u4e86%u6b0a%u52e2%u5730%u4f4d%uff0c%u5c31%u66f4%u61c9%u8a72%u5ee3%u6cdb%u63a8%u884c%u4f5b%u6cd5%u6559%u5316%u3002%u53ef%u4ee5%u516c%u544a%u5927%u5bb6%u8aaa%uff1a%u300c%u67d0%u67d0%u5b78%u7fd2%u4f5b%u6cd5%uff0c%u56e0%u6b64%u4e0d%u5403%u8477%u8165%u3001%u4e0d%u559d%u9152%u3001%u4e0d%u63a5%u53d7%u79c1%u4eba%u8cc4%u8cc2%u3001%u4e0d%u58d3%u5236%u662f%u975e%u3001%u4e0d%u5984%u52a0%u734e%u61f2%u3002%u6240%u6709%u8ecd%u6c11%uff0c%u61c9%u7576%u4e86%u89e3%u9019%u4e9b%u3002%u300d%u5728%u8655%u7406%u6848%u4ef6%u6642%uff0c%u5f85%u96d9%u65b9%u5c0d%u8cea%u6e05%u695a%u662f%u975e%u66f2%u76f4%u5f8c%uff0c%u5c31%u4ee5%u4f5b%u6cd5%u4e2d%u95dc%u65bc%u56e0%u679c%u7684%u9053%u7406%u9032%u884c%u958b%u5c0e%uff0c%u4e26%u52f8%u5c0e%u4ed6%u5011%u5f9e%u4eca%u4ee5%u5f8c%u61c9%u8a72%u4e86%u89e3%u56e0%u679c%u5831%u61c9%uff0c%u4f9d%u5faa%u4f5b%u6cd5%u548c%u570b%u6cd5%uff0c%u6210%u70ba%u5b89%u5206%u5b88%u5df1%u7684%u826f%u597d%u516c%u6c11%u3002%u63a5%u5f85%u4f86%u8a2a%u7684%u5ba2%u4eba%u6642%uff0c%u9664%u4e86%u91dd%u5c0d%u4f86%u610f%u9032%u884c%u554f%u7b54%u5916%uff0c%u90fd%u61c9%u4ee5%u4f5b%u6cd5%u4f86%u5c0d%u5ba2%u4eba%u9032%u884c%u4ea4%u6d41%u3002%u90e8%u9580%u4e2d%u7684%u5b98%u54e1%uff0c%u53ef%u4ee5%u5728%u6bcf%u9031%u665a%u9593%u8209%u884c%u4e00%u6b21%u4f5b%u6cd5%u56e0%u7de3%u7684%u958b%u5c0e%u6703%uff0c%u5404%u4f4d%u5b98%u54e1%u7121%u4e0d%u9075%u5f9e%uff0c%u9019%u6a23%u9084%u80fd%u4f7f%u4ed6%u5011%u907f%u514d%u8a6d%u8a50%u884c%u70ba%u3002%u8ecd%u5b98%u5c0d%u5f85%u58eb%u5175%u6642%uff0c%u4e5f%u61c9%u8a72%u5982%u6b64%uff0c%u4e00%u65b9%u9762%u4f7f%u58eb%u5175%u5fc3%u5fd7%u7d14%u6b63%uff0c%u53e6%u4e00%u65b9%u9762%u907f%u514d%u64fe%u4e82%u767e%u59d3%u3002%u4e0a%u7d1a%u5b98%u54e1%u9762%u5c0d%u4e0b%u7d1a%u5b98%u54e1%u6642%uff0c%u6700%u597d%u5728%u4efb%u547d%u4e4b%u524d%u8a62%u554f%u4ed6%u662f%u5426%u80fd%u4f9d%u7167%u4f5b%u6cd5%u884c%u4e8b%u3002%u5728%u51fa%u5de1%u6216%u8005%u5916%u51fa%u8fa6%u6848%u6642%uff0c%u5982%u679c%u898b%u5230%u6709%u9069%u5408%u6559%u5316%u7684%u4eba%uff0c%u5c31%u4ee5%u4f5b%u6cd5%u6559%u5c0e%u4ed6%u5011%u3002 %uf063%u5f85%u7e8c %uf063To be continued
