Over the years I've explained the five precepts many times. How I explain them depends on the audience and the situation. If I don't think the audience is capable of strong conviction, then I only point out the extreme situations: don't kill people, don't rob banks, don't be promiscuous, don't tell people you are a Buddha or a master. If people are more stable, then I will expect more, and I'll explain the precepts in more depth. I don't change the meaning of the precepts arbitrarily.
