What do people who practice Buddhism do?

Answer 1

To better improve this question, the followers of buddha ALL have to follow The Four Noble Truths and the Eight-fold Paths. Other wise they are not buddhists. You must take the four noble truths and the eight fold paths to be Buddhist, and if you decide to obey them or not is what makes you a good or bad Buddhist. so a Buddhist can do ANYTHING any one else can from good deeds to bad deeds. most of them do good, but to improve and answer this question at its perfection, a Buddhist is as normal as any other human is. and they can do exactly anything any other human can. but most of them do good deeds and help others

Answer 2

Buddhism teaches about Enlightenment, a process taking advantage of the constant change of life. Most Buddhists attempt to reach this Enlightenment through meditation, though not all meditation has to be about sitting and chanting. The process of gardening, yoga, or other calming actions are used as forms of meditation.

Answer 3

Buddhist monks practise Morality, Meditation and the Path. In morality they need to observe hundreds of precepts, e.g. abstain from killing, abstain from stealing, anstain from false speech, abstain from sexual misconduct, abstain from intoxication of the mind, etc. Buddhism is 'mind culture' - to be mindful of thoughts, action and speech by various forms of meditation. The Eight Noble Path is the perfection of eight different mode of living rightly. Buddhism does not encourage to convert other of different religion to be a Buddhist. "Nothing arise without a cause" the backbone of the Law of Cause and Effect - if a Buddhist convert a Christian to be a Buddhist and if that person degraded to a worst position, the effect of his degration will be bourned by the Buddhist. Therefore Buddhist monks confine themselves to educating, advising and helping Buddhists or would be Buddhists to evaluate to higher standard of existence. The nutshell of Buddhism is "Come and experience" not any commandments or promises of heaven.

Answer 4

The question presupposes, correctly, that Buddhism is a practice or set of practices (as opposed to being a religious creed). All Buddhist practices are designed to lead to an awakened life such as the historical Buddha led. Meditation, chanting, prostrations, and similar practices are designed to lead the mind toward one-pointedness that the prelude to awakening.
