The five Precepts of Buddhism are fundamental ethical guidelines for lay practitioners to follow in their daily lives. They are:
1. Abstain from killing living beings – Respect for life and non-violence.
2. Abstain from stealing – Respect for others' property and rights.
3. Abstain from sexual misconduct – Respect for relationships and self-control.
4. Abstain from false speech – Honesty in communication.
5. Abstain from intoxicants – Maintaining mindfulness and clarity of mind.
These precepts form the foundation for ethical behavior, helping individuals cultivate mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom, leading to a more peaceful and harmonious life.
