How would a Jew say a person gets to heaven?
It depends whether that person is a Jew or a Gentile (Non-Jew). If they are a gentile then they just have to obey the 7 commandments to the Sons of Noah (aka the Noachide laws), which are; Refrain from idolatry Refrain from murder Refrain from theft Refrain from Sexual immorality Refrain from blasphemy Do not eat the flesh of an animal while it is still alive Establish courts of law If they are a Jew then they have to follow the 613 Mitzvot... that's pretty hard!
What are the similarities of the 10 commandments and the four noble truths?
The Four Noble Truths do not deal with ethics but rather the acceptance of the truth of the Dharma. The Four Noble Truths are more akin to the Christians acceptance that "Jesus is the Son of God." By accepting the Four Noble Truths we accept the Buddha's teachings. In Buddhism, ethics are an important aspect of our practice- The Eightfold Path deals with wisdom, morality, and meditation. The Eight Fold Path is at the heart of the Dharma, however, I'd say the closest thing to the Ten Commandments would be The Five Precepts. The Five Precepts are the lay Buddhists vow to follow a code of ethics that would lessen suffering and create good karma. The Five Precepts are as follows..... 1) I undertake the precept to refrain from harming living creatures. 2) I undertake the precept to refrain from taking what is not given. 3) I undertake the precept to refrain from sexual immorality. 4) I undertake the precept to refrain from speaking falsely. 5) I undertake the precept to refrain from taking intoxicants.

Is it impossible to follow the five precepts?
The Five Precepts are: # Refrain from taking life # Refrain from taking what is not given # Refrain from sexual misconduct # Refrain from false speech # Refrain from drinks and drugs that cause misconduct Like any rules for living (Ten Commandments and similar) it is possible to show yourself in compliance with these precepts (or out of compliance) by clever wordplay. However an important consideration in contract law which would apply here is the concept of a "mind not set on deception". That is, if you have to think your way into defending what you have done as being "legal", then you are probably into not honestly in compliance. Most people could achieve an open hearted compliance with the Five Precepts if they were vegetarians who were not murderers, who didn't steal, sleep around, lie or partake of recreational drugs and alcohol
