I'm not saying it's right... I'm only saying morality is the foundation according to Buddhist philosophy. Formally it is practiced by adhering to precepts like don't lie, steal, kill etc. We take vows to adhere to moral precepts before any training begins (but that won't happen here). After vows, mindfulness practice begins so you get into the other aspects of the path.
But that is not what comes first. Before vows there is refuge. It begins with refuge, then sila, then meditation.
We aren't going to take refuge and make vows here. A forum can't provide conditions for refuge anyway. It's just good for talking about this and that.
