What do Buddhists belief about morals?

Answer 1

The Buddhism moral code is As with other major religions, Buddhism has an established moral code, or system of ethical dos and don'ts. For lay people (Buddhists who are not monks or nuns) this is encapsulated in the five precepts. A precept is a rule about how we should act or conduct ourselves. Monks and nuns adhere to further precepts and adhere to the particular rules laid down by their community. The focus of this chapter is on the precepts as they stand for lay Buddhists and how the first precept in particular relates to two contemporary moral issues. The five precepts are: I undertake to abstain from harming living beings I undertake to abstain from taking what is not given I undertake to abstain from sexual misconduct I undertake to abstain from false speech I undertake to abstain from intoxicating drugs or drink A Buddhist aims to adhere to each of these as closely as he or she can.

Answer:

As hard as it is for some faiths to accept the fact that Buddhism does not have "commandments" which control human behaviour - it doesn't. Instead Buddhism makes suggestions (the Eightfold Path) that will enable follower to leave a more skillful and less painful life (no punishment is imposed by a supreme being as Buddhism does not have a deity). The followers acceptance of these propositions is his own. Ultimately the lessons of countless cycles of death and rebirth will move the persons behaviour towards enlightenment and compliance with the Eightfold path.

Answer 3

Buddhism is much like the state of mind "nirvana" in which they are not allowed to hold possessions that satisfy their material needs in order to achieve enlightenment.

Answer:

Buddhist Ethics and morality are summed up in the Eightfold Path (see below). These eight "directions" are not "do and don't" rules like the Christian 10 Commandments, but suggestions on how life should be conducted more skillfully. Each person interprets these and integrates them into their own life.

WISDOM (The Exercise of Judgement)

• Right Understanding - Aspire to better the state of yourself and others

PERSEVERANCE ( Sound Ethical Discipline)

• Right Thought - Think on that which is good
• Right Speech - Be positive, honest, comforting and caring
• Right Action - Exert energy to do what you think is good for all
• Right Livelihood - Use your talents well for the good of humanity
• Right Effort - Do not exert effort in the pursuit of evil

MEDITATION (Concentration and Focus)

• Right Mindfulness - Direct your attention to good & proper things
• Right Concentration - Be caught up in a life of good works and love

Answer 4

If by moral law you mean a deity inspired instruction or a "no wiggle room" precept such as the Christian 10 Commandments, there isn't any. In general Buddhists seek to live their lives skillfully by practicing the Eightfold path. these are not, however, laws but guidelines for a better life.
