(1) No killing: Mahayana Buddhism takes compassion as the main body. Compassion is compassion for all sentient beings, and you can't bear to hurt all sentient beings. We should learn Buddhism with the same compassion as the guru.
(2) Don't steal: We should never take anything that doesn't belong to us, even a little bit. We should engage in all kinds of legal business, which is just the price of our hard work. If you get something for nothing, it's no different from stealing.
(3) Do not abstain from prostitution: The so-called prostitution refers to sexual intercourse other than formal spouse, as well as inappropriate and inappropriate sexual intercourse. In addition, anyone involved in prostitution, such as dance halls and brothels, is also prohibited.
(4) Don't swear: keep your mouth shut. Since you are a Buddhist, you should cultivate your noble personality. A person's words are related to a lifetime's reputation, so you should get along with others on the basis of honesty and speak with your heart. Let people believe in us and praise and encourage them.
(5) Do not drink: Drinking is disorderly, which makes people lose their senses, unable to wake up and be confused. Once alcoholism occurs, it often leads to life-threatening. There are many crimes caused by drinking, such as accidents caused by drunk driving and fights caused by drunkenness.
Extended data:
Not only Buddhism has five precepts, but Taoism also has five precepts, that is, the five precepts of the old gentleman, which are called the old gentleman's words and precepts. First, stop killing, second, stop stealing, third, stop whoring, fifth, stop drinking; Taoism believes that the disciples of seal script students are subject to the five precepts after receiving the three precepts, and the five precepts and the three precepts are collectively called the eight precepts.
(1) Don't kill: Gu said, "Heaven has the virtue of good life". Animals, insects, plants and trees are not the spirits of all things, but they have life endowed by heaven, and they have the same instinct of "good life and necrosis" as people. When they die, they will have the same eyes for survival, make the same yearning voice, and even shed sad tears and struggle for their last life. In addition, there is an invisible killing trick: swearing.
(2) Don't eat meat: moderate drinking can regulate qi and blood, body and mind, etc., but long-term drinking will make people insane, swear words, do bad things, and then reverse right and wrong, lose their manners, and even cause diseases and disasters. Alcoholism does great harm to oneself, family and society.
(3) Don't lie: People with different personalities get along and talk every day. When talking with people, you should be sincere and tell the truth. You can't lie and cheat others. Lying and deceiving others is deceiving yourself. You can't call a deer a horse when talking to people. You don't know what you know, but you don't know what you are talking about.
(4) Don't steal: stealing means asking for money or something that doesn't belong to you. Cheating, cheating, robbery, gambling, corruption, etc. Are among the thieves.
(5) No fornication: fornication is adultery other than husband and wife.
