There are Five unique beliefs that Buddhists follow:
1. don't kill any creatures
- The belief that it is wrong to kill is largely part of Buddhism, and they believed that even killing animals are wrong
2. don't steal
- One of the rules taught by everyone, stealing is harmful to everyone affected, as the person you stole from is hurt, and you yourself may not feel like its the right thing to do.
3. don't lie; tell the truth
- This, even though sometimes it can be 'used correctly', is still one of the pillars, and talks more generally. Telling the truth is one of the main topics taught by most parents to their children, & is part of the pillars
4. avoid sexual activity
- Unless it is with your spouse, one should not sleep with another women, and definitely should not sleep with a non-human or same gender.
5. do not use drugs or consume alcohol
- Drugs impair thoughts, vision, etc, and take control of people's lives, which is one of the reasons that it should not be used. Alcohol mostly have the same effect, making one do things that should not be done, such as beating others for no reason.
