Five Noble Principles

  • Refrain from taking life –not killing any living being.
  • Refrain from taking what is not given –not stealing from anyone.
  • Refrain from the misuse of the senses –not having too much sensual pleasure.
  • Refrain from wrong speech.
  • Refrain from intoxicants that cloud the mind.
