The guidelines would be what's known as the Eightfold Path.
(1) Gaining a more accurate view of the world (insight)
(2) Correct thinking and resolve (compassion)
(3) Thoughtful speech (avoiding lying, slander, gossip, time-wasting chatter)
(4) Compassionate action (the basic morality of harming none, not taking that which is not given)
(5) A well-chosen livelihood (that incorporates the rest of the path) and living within one's means
(6) Steady effort -- neither letting yourself off too lightly nor striving too hard
(7) Developing focus through meditation
(8) Learning to keep awareness in the present instead of drifting into dreams of the past or the future.

Buddhism encompasses various schools and traditions, but some core principles are generally followed. The guidelines include the Four Noble Truths, which highlight suffering, its cause, its cessation, and the path to its cessation. The Noble Eightfold Path outlines a balanced way of living, incorporating aspects such as ethical conduct, meditation, and cultivation of wisdom. Additionally, practicing non-violence, compassion, and mindfulness are central to Buddhist teachings.

What do the rules of Buddhism mean?
It's hard to determine what the "Rules of Buddhism" are. The Four Noble Truths are an observation - Life is suffering. Suffering is caused by desire. Desire can be controlled to end suffering. This is done by following the Eightfold Path - but this is an observation not a rule. The Eightfold Path is a set of guidelines that one should follow to gain enlightenment, but they are not rules. Nobody is forced to follow them, nobody checks up on your progress or conformity. So Buddhism basically doesn't have rules. You do what you want, and you pay for your choices. The suggestions are there to help but the choice and the enforcement is all yours.
