According to the system of [[Asanga]], the ''Chariot of the Vast Conduct'', the precepts for the ''bodhichitta of aspiration'' are as follows:
*to never forsake sentient beings,
*to remember the benefits of bodhichitta,
*to gather the accumulations,
*to exert oneself in training in bodhichitta, as well as
*to adopt and avoid the eight black and white deeds.
 
The four precepts for the ''bodhichitta of application'' are ('''to avoid''' the following):<br>
1) out of desire, to have exceeding attachment to honor and gain and to praise oneself and disparage others,<br>
2) out of stinginess, to refrain from giving material things, Dharma teachings and wealth to others,<br>
3) out of anger, to harm others and be unforgiving when offered an apology,<br>
4) out of stupidity, to pretend that indolence is [[Dharma]] and to teach that to others.
 
The 46 minor infractions are to refrain from making offerings to the [[Three Jewels]] and so forth.
 
The [[four black deeds]] are:
*to deceive a venerable person,
*to cause someone to regret what is not regrettable,
*to disparage a sublime person, and
*to deceive sentient beings.
 
The four white are their opposites [RY]
