Bodhicaris can be defined as “practitioners of the Buddha Dhamma who have attainment of enlightenment as their goalâ€. The Bodhicari Precepts are an expansion of Ajivatthamaka Sila (Eight Precepts with Right Livelihood as the Eighth) and Panca Sila (The Five Precepts). They were developed at Dharma Vijaya Buddhist Vihara Los Angeles USA.
