Native American Code Of Ethics

Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often.
The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
~
Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path.
Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem
from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
~
Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others
to make your path for you. It is your road, and
yours alone. Others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.
~
Treat the guests in your home with much consideration.
Serve them the best food, give them the best
bed and treat them with respect and honor.
~
Do not take what is not yours whether from
a person, a community,the wilderness or from a
culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
~
Respect all things that are placed upon
this earth – whether it be people or plant.
~
Honor other people’s thoughts, wishes and words.
Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them.
Allow each person the right to personal expression.
~
Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative
energy that you put out into the universe
will multiply when it returns to you.
~
All persons make mistakes.
And all mistakes can be forgiven.
~
Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind,
body and spirit. Practice optimism.
~
Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us.
They are part of your worldly family.
~
Children are the seeds of our future. Plant
love in their hearts and water them with
wisdom and life’s lessons. When they
are grown, give them space to grow.
~
Avoid hurting the hearts of others.
The poison of your pain will return to you.
~
Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the
test of one’s will within this universe.
~
Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual
self, Emotional self, and Physical self – all need
to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out
the body to strengthen the mind. Grow
rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
~
Make conscious decisions as to who
you will be and how you will react. Be
responsible for your own actions.
~
Respect the privacy and personal space of
others. Do not touch the personal property of
others – especially sacred and religious
objects. This is forbidden.
~
Be true to yourself first. You cannot
nurture and help others if you cannot
nurture and help yourself first.
~
Respect others religious beliefs.
Do not force your belief on others.
~
Share your good fortune with others.
Participate in charity.

I wish to be that man, and I can’t stop tearing up. Beautiful souls, the native Americans.
* That’s a good one to print & tape on a kitchen cupboard door.
…Wise men, all over the world consistently sharing the same repeating universal eternal values of- ”Do unto others”…type/conscience’…far & away from ‘any’ dogmatic & restrictive religious context.
Agreed Alex, already have it printed

This is one of the best descriptions of Universal Love I’ve ever read, thank you for posting. In school we were taught in English Composition classes that there are only three topics in literature that formed the basis for “good” stories. They were Man against Man, Man against Nature, and Man against Himself. How telling that perverted view becomes as we awaken. Thank you, Zen, and everyone who comments here for the lights that you are. Love, A.
This is an awesome read!!! I will definitely commit this to memory. Namaste
I love those words, lets send this post to all our Congress members and the Executive Staff, I think they will resonate with the words of Zen Wisdom, they that need to hear it the most, their time has come for “them” to Listen….Nice Post Zen!

“Do not take what is not yours whether from
a person, a community,the wilderness or from a
culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.”
Something to live by, may we all head down this path.
