Hello! Page One Page Two Page Three Page Four Page Five

I'm Usedbook. I began using Wikipedia in 2002 and started to contribute as an editor in March, 2003. I am one of the first users of The Free Encyclopedia and I'm an avid reader. My contributions are much fewer than my peers but, if I gravitate towards any particular subject, you'll find me editing articles pertaining to Buddhism. One day I will renounce the world and return to the monastery, if I can overcome my taṇhā. Hey, enough about me! For a refresher, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Enjoy your stay and welcome to Wikipedia!

Buddhism

The Five Precepts in Buddhism
Precept	Example
1. Refrain from taking life	Not killing any living being. For Buddhists, this includes animals, so many Buddhists choose to be vegetarian.
2. Refrain from taking what is not given	Not stealing from anyone.
3. Refrain from the misuse of the senses	Not having too much sensual pleasure. For example, not looking at people in a lustful way or committing adultery.
4. Refrain from wrong speech	Not lying or gossiping about other people.
5. Refrain from intoxicants that cloud the mind	Not drinking alcohol or taking drugs, as these do not help you to think clearly.
