to get enlightenment free from suffering
Many Buddhists respect the lives of animals, and the original Buddhists were vegetarian.
not for everyone but to Buddhists it would be very important, a big part of their daily life
Although Buddhists may examine and study the origins of life they are more concerned that it did come to be without examining the cause. Unlike the Abrahamic faiths who require a deity to be the main mover for the formation of life Buddhists would be as happy with life originating as a natural and chemical process.
Many people (Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike) begin to meditate because a gentle longing arises in them: a longing to know the answer to a few basic questions: who am I, is there something beyond the 3-dimensional world, what is life ultimately about? This longing propels a person into meditation, because mystics from all traditions down through the ages have promised that if you meditate, you will begin to get a glimpse into the answers to these questions.
Buddhists do not have a Mass in the Christian sense but amongst the many different Buddhist traditions there are a wide range of public and private services each with its own distinct purpose and style.
No. Buddhists do believe that misfortunes are sometimes do to harmful actions performed in the past, either in this life or in previous lives.
way of life for buddhists
There is no "Evolution Battle", if there was the Buddhists would have no role in it. Buddhists accept a lot of things since the things are existent. This includes the existence of the Universe, the diversity of life and human nature. They have no need to examine or explain where the Universe came from, why life is diverse or why people are good or bad.
Buddhists Don't believe in destroying living creatures. Buddhists believe In Karma and depending on how you act now will depend who you are in your next life. Buddhists believe life is an endless cycle where you are reborn after death, repeatedly. Buddhists believe you should not drink alcohol or take drugs. Lastly that there is no god who created earth, there is just guidance.
