Speech, by far. I indulge in alcohol sometimes but not to the point of heedlessness.

Do you meditate on the 32 parts of the body to counter lustful thoughts? Or Sattipathanna if you follow Mahasi Sayadaw tradition.confusedlayman wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:45 pmno .. i take 5 precepts but 3rd precept i do celibavy ( im single and ugly)Cortadew wrote: ↑Wed Sep 16, 2020 7:38 pmInteresting, Did you undertake the 8 anāgarika precepts?confusedlayman wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 9:57 am i maintain celibacy (3/5 precept) and abstain from alcohol (5th precept)

I hope this practice is motivated through a will for renunciation and not aversion towards sex and relationships.

Not drinking alcohol is the most difficult one for me.
Re: Poll: the most difficult precept for you?
Often I wish I could go to bed and just never wake up again. Even bad dreams aren't as difficult as real life.

Re: Poll: the most difficult precept for you?
I'm celibate (relatively easy for me), but I still am delusional with sexual self-pleasure (not going to be embarrassed to say it).
I don't drink...never have, nor have I ever taken drugs. Grateful for that.
Right Speech .... I need a lot of work, but I made a lot of progress, especially online. I still rant against certain people I don't like, and say stupid and ugly things. When I'm impatient and angry, my mouth can get ugly.
May we all follow the precepts of the Holy Buddha.

I have carpenter ants in my house and they're eating the wood in the walls. Been going on for years and feel like I need an exterminator. So the killing precept has been difficult for me.
Re: Poll: the most difficult precept for you?
All is easy for me.
Because, I'm fasting regularly.
What mean sleeping?

"Tinggalkanlah 5 (belantara) dan patahkan 5 (belenggu rendah),
Serta kembangkan 5 potensi (4 iddhipādā + 1 ussoḷhi).
Bhikkhu yang telah menaklukkan 5 kungkungan (belenggu tinggi),
Lebih layak disebut 'orang yang telah mengarungi air baih (saṃsārå)'."
