The Eight Precepts are: # To refrain from taking life # To refrain from taking that which is not freely given (stealing) # To refrain from sexual misconduct (improper sexual behavior) # To refrain from lying and deceiving # To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness. # To refrain from eating at the wrong time (by only eating from sunrise to noon, one ensures that all food eaten in a day is digested before nightfall) # To refrain from all entertainments and decorations (e.g., dancing, wearing jewelry, watching movies, going to shows, etc. This especially includes entertainments that bring the viewer's mind to sexual imagery) # To refrain from using a high, luxurious bed, or beds that provide extraneous softness or comfort
