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.All adherents of the traditionFilter Results5 entriesOrigin Period Start YearAll-600 (1)1842 (1)1945 (1)1990 (1)Attested In RegionAllNorth America (1)Solitary or CommunalAllPerformed alone (1)Performed alone or together (3)Performed by a gathered group (1)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)Svetambara (1)Category of PracticeAllEthical (2)Practice StatusAllHistorical; not practised continuously (1)Living tradition, practised today (4)Scholarly StandingAllA standard analytic category in the study of religion (5)CadenceAllContinuous: a standing discipline, not an event (1)ObligationAllObligatory (3)Recommended and meritorious, not required (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 5Ahimsa (nonviolence)All adherents of the traditionMussar PracticeAll adherents of the traditionPurity CultureAll adherents of the traditionRefusal of blood transfusionsAll adherents of the traditionXenia (Guest Friendship as Religious Obligation)All adherents of the traditionSources1.
