5	Support for Freedom in Burma Since September 2007's democracy demonstrations, we have been supporting the Burmese people politically and materially. Clear View has taken responsibility for BPF's Burma Project. We have built strong connections with western Buddhist centers, Burmese communities in exile here in the U.S., and Burma activist organizations. Clear View has been in dialogue with “new Buddhists” from India's ex-untouchable communities — millions of Buddhists living in terrible poverty and discrimination despite legal protections of the Indian constitution. Clear View is developing and planning to launch the first engaged Buddhist blog.	148

7	Earth Precepts Every major religious and philosophical system has a set of commandments, injunctions, or precepts that codifies the core beliefs of the moral person. Most familiar in the West are the Judeo-Christian “Ten Commandments,” or Decalogue. Islam has a very similar list of injunctions in the Qur’an. Buddhism’s Ten Grave Precepts embody many of the same principles. In every case, these are a set of instructions on how to live with our fellow human beings in harmony: they are social precepts. If we are to survive as a species in a harmonious relationship with the Earth, we need a set of Earth Precepts as simple, universal, and powerful as the social precepts that have guided our social relations for so long.	163
