Everyone must realize the truth for him or herself, not to kill or harm any living being, not to steal, not to lie, to abstain from sexual misconduct, and to avoid drugs and alcohol. They also believe in rebirth and reincarnation.

If brief they are this:

The Four Noble Truths, which are:

1) There is suffering (discontentment, unhappiness) in the world

2) There are specific causes of this suffering.

3) There is a state (a mindset, a way of life) where suffering ceases.

4) There is a path (actions, practices) to attain this state of freedom from suffering.

The Buddha laid out the Eightfold Path as what he described as "the Middle Way" to reach enlightenment. This method is less severe than the path that The Buddha followed and avoids the extremes that he tried and failed at to reach enlightenment.

The eightfold path consists of:

1. Right View

2. Right Intention (thought)

3. Right Speech

4. Right Action

5. Right Livelihood

6. Right Effort

7. Right Mindfulness

8. Right Concentration.
