The Five Precepts of Buddhism

 

These are 5 basic beliefs of Buddhism:

1. Refrain from taking life. They are referring to not killing any living being.  2. Refrain from taking what is not given. Do not steal from anyone. 3. Refrain from the misuse of the senses. This refers to sexual misconduct, adultery, overindulging, or committing sexual offenses. 4. Refrain from wrong speech. This pertains to lying, misleading, and gossip. 

5. Refrain from intoxicants that can cloud the mind. This is drugs and alcohol. 

In comparison would you say that a few of these five principles are similar to the teachings of the ten commandments in the Christian religion?  "It just "Dawned on me."
