==美洲原住民的道德守則==
♦與太陽同起而祈禱，獨自祈禱，經常祈禱，
只要你訴說，大靈就會傾聽。
對迷失在他們道路上的人保持寬容，
無知、自大、憤怒、嫉妒和貪婪源於迷失的靈魂，
祈求他們找到指引。
♦找尋自己，自己去找，不要讓他人為你鋪路。
這是你的道路，你自己的，
他人可能與你同行，但無人能為你而行。
♥體貼周到地對待你家中的賓客。
端上最好的食物，給他們最好的床，
尊重、榮耀他們。
♦非你者不取，不論是從個人、公眾、大自然或一個文化之中。
不是你賺得的或不是別人贈與的，就不是你的。
♦敬重被安置在地球上的一切，
不論是人類或植物。
♦尊重他人的想法、願望和話語。
決不打斷他人、嘲笑或無禮模仿他們。
讓每一個人有自我表達的權利。
♦決不以不好的方式談論他人。
你送進宇宙的負面能量會倍數回到你身上。
♦所有人都會犯錯，
並且所有的錯誤都可被寬恕。
♦不好的想法會造成身、心、靈的疾病。
練習保持樂觀。
♦大自然不是為我們而存在的，而是我們的一部份。
她們是你們塵世家人的成員。
♦孩童是我們未來的種子。
在他們心田種下愛，並以智慧和生命的課程來灌溉他們。
養育他們時，給他們空間茁壯。
♦避免傷害他人的心。
你痛苦的毒素會回到你身上。
♦永遠保持真實，
誠實是這宇宙中對人的意志的考驗。
♦保持你自己的平衡。
你的心智自我、靈性自我、情緒自我和肉體自我，
皆需要強壯、純淨和健康。
鍛鍊你的身體以強化心智。
培養富足的靈性來治癒情緒上的痛苦。
♦有意識地決定你要成為什麼樣的人以及你要怎麼反應，
對你自己的行為負責。
♦尊重他人的隱私和私人空間，
不要碰他人的個人財產──尤其是神聖和宗教的物件，
這是禁止的。
♦首先真實對待自己。
你若無法先滋養和幫助自己，
便無法滋養和幫助他人。
♦尊重他人的宗教信仰，
不要強加你的信仰在他人身上。
♦和他人分享你的福份，
參與慈善活動。

Native American Code of Ethics
Rise with the sun to pray. Pray alone. Pray often.
The Great Spirit will listen, if you only speak.
Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path.
Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem
from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.
Search for yourself, by yourself. Do not allow others
to make your path for you. It is your road, and
yours alone. Others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.
Treat the guests in your home with much consideration.
Serve them the best food, give them the best
bed and treat them with respect and honor.
Do not take what is not yours whether from
a person, a community,the wilderness or from a
culture. It was not earned nor given. It is not yours.
Respect all things that are placed upon
this earth – whether it be people or plant.
Honor other people’s thoughts, wishes and words.
Never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them.
Allow each person the right to personal expression.
Never speak of others in a bad way. The negative
energy that you put out into the universe
will multiply when it returns to you.
All persons make mistakes.
And all mistakes can be forgiven.
Bad thoughts cause illness of the mind,
body and spirit. Practice optimism.
Nature is not FOR us, it is a PART of us.
They are part of your worldly family.
Children are the seeds of our future. Plant
love in their hearts and water them with
wisdom and life’s lessons. When they
are grown, give them space to grow.
Avoid hurting the hearts of others.
The poison of your pain will return to you.
Be truthful at all times. Honesty is the
test of one’s will within this universe.
Keep yourself balanced. Your Mental self, Spiritual
self, Emotional self, and Physical self – all need
to be strong, pure and healthy. Work out
the body to strengthen the mind. Grow
rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.
Make conscious decisions as to who
you will be and how you will react. Be
responsible for your own actions.
Respect the privacy and personal space of
others. Do not touch the personal property of
others – especially sacred and religious
objects. This is forbidden.
Be true to yourself first. You cannot
nurture and help others if you cannot
nurture and help yourself first.
Respect others religious beliefs.
Do not force your belief on others.
Share your good fortune with others.
Participate in charity.
