Best Answer

The Buddha described a follower of his as someone who has taken the Three Refuges--refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha--and a virtuous follower as one who also tries to keep the five precepts for laypeople. Therefore, anyone with an interest in living a moral life can become a Buddhist.
