Dear Yong Peng,

* siilaanussati (f) recollection of precepts.
- siila (n) precept.

I think that 'precept' is a too narrow translation of this very
important word, and feel that it is better translated as 'virtuous
conduct' or 'morality' or similar. It is by recollection of our own
virtuous conduct that we can generate great joy in the world.

With metta,
John
