The grouping is defined by the absence of a ritual form rather than by a shared ethic, and its members do not agree with one another. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedPractices 1Learn MoreThe Ethical Practices This group holds ethical practices, the disciplines of right conduct and moral cultivation by which the traditions train character and shape behaviour toward others: the keeping of precepts, the practice of virtue, and the examination of conscience. The browser will find ethical practices from various traditions. The entries describe each practice's form and the moral vision it serves, noting the tradition to which it belongs.Living tradition, practised todayFilter Results9 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-600 (1)1842 (1)1900 (1)1945 (1)1970 (1)1990 (1)Attested In RegionAllNorth America (1)Solitary or CommunalAllPerformed alone (1)Performed alone or together (2)Performed by a gathered group (2)Performed by an officiant for a recipient (4)TraditionAllBreslov Hasidism (1)Chabad-Lubavitch (1)Digambara (1)Haredi Judaism (1)Hasidic Judaism (1)Jehovah's Witnesses (1)Modern Orthodox Judaism (1)Orthodox Judaism (1)Sufism (1)Svetambara (1)Category of PracticeAllEthical (2)Who Performs ItAllAll adherents of the tradition (4)Clergy or ordained officiants (1)Trained or authorised specialists (4)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (9)CadenceAllAs the occasion requires (2)Continuous: a standing discipline, not an event (1)Monthly (1)Once, or at a turning point in a life (1)ObligationAllObligatory (2)Optional and voluntary (2)Recommended and meritorious, not required (2)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 9Ahimsa (nonviolence)Living tradition, practised todayChaplaincyLiving tradition, practised todayHumanist celebrancyLiving tradition, practised todayMussar PracticeLiving tradition, practised todayNon-religious pastoral careLiving tradition, practised todayPastoral Care of the SickLiving tradition, practised todayPurity CultureLiving tradition, practised todayRefusal of blood transfusionsLiving tradition, practised todaySpiritual DirectionLiving tradition, practised todaySources1.
