Besides the Buddha's also made about gender and Information;

- Gender: As world's goods in Sa 10, 250 monks ... and the world of home goods is 5 world.

3. Laity.

According to Buddhist principles, to become a Buddhist, ask people to give rise to three practices received refuge (refuge in the Three Jewels are the Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha) and practice the five precepts.

- The Five Precepts: This is the first step of the Buddhist practice that both home and at home must comply. Because men are doing the humanitarian grounds, the basic virtues of morality, as a bridge to happiness of Nirvana. It is also a factor to build the foundation for personal happiness, family and society. The five precepts are:

A. Do not kill.

Two. Do not steal.

3. Do not commit adultery

4. Do not lie.

Five. Do not drink alcohol.

In this world were recorded in all economic advantage-her-economic principles of Chinese A 128 Ham and was Buddha summarized the benefits of life through the Five Mindfulness following verse:

"He lived at home position,

Seeing fear hell,

Because life over Holy Justice,

Eliminate all evil.

Do not kill living beings,

Know it or leave,

Truth do not lie,

No stealing of others,

Sufficiency with family women,

No one who lost his wife,

Refraining from alcohol,

Original crazy heart disorders.

It's better to Enlightenment thought,

Fresh legal thinking,

Increased memory, consistent precepts,

Hence the joy ... "

- Ten World: On the fundamentals of the five precepts, and all places y behavior (body), language (gate), psychological (mind) that the Buddha has established good practices Ten (10's) to improve high spirituality, sense of ethics for laypeople. Cross is good:

+ The body has 3: No killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct.

+ The password is 4: Do not lie, do not say sometimes tongue-dimensional, not to say cruel, not to say frivolous.

+ The idea: No greed, no hatred, no ignorance.

- Eight Precepts : To create conditions for electrical goods Buddhists cultivate collective renunciation of night 24 hours a day, the Buddha taught over eight sex life. Among them, five of the world is found in the family, except for the 3rd world is not changed to lust; 3 only after the equivalent of Sa (renunciation of goods) is not large bed beautiful high not makeup, apply perfume and dance or watch dance, not to eat non-time.

In general, the Buddha's institutions are not in addition to bringing peace in the present life and future for those who practice the application. No distinction is made in or in part, if the precepts strictly smart, they will be the following benefits:

A. The person will inherit the moral fortune through legal protection effort.

Two. The person is of good moral remote station.

3. He has no fear of moral timidity as to the crowded congregation.

4. The moral is do not die heart disorders.

Five. The moral is common after the network was born in good fun, natural world. [1]

Advertise in the law (just for all the Law in the Vinaya) is said to 10 the interests of the world are:

A. Because convince them up.

Two. Because in order to thoroughly convince them up.

3. Because they want to give up peacefully.

4. So to convince those who do not know shame.

Five. So for those who reside ashamed of peace.

6. So let those who do not believe that they trust.

7. So for those who believe increased confidence.

8. Because they want to stop all illegal or even legal in the present.

9. As for pirated or not the student can not arise.

10. Because the Dharma is like for long-term survival. [1]

Thus, discipline is the foundation for the practitioner complete personality, clean body and mind, neutralize negativity, Sangha building, except for any contraband or take. Those who earnestly accept the key precepts is to preserve the peace and happiness for themselves and others in the present and future. Conversely, people who do not obey strict rules are themselves sources of harm to her happiness.

Regard the precepts, in economic Anguttara II, chapter 7 law, the Buddha also taught: " Knowing violations, said non-infringement, said light violations, violations that heavy, morality, life dwells with the institutional of the world come responsibilities, full majesty right happy, scared in the slightest error, accepting and learning the law school, proof is not difficult, not tired, do not charge much for the four epicardial Meditation Increase , currently residing in touch, except the defilements, position themselves to win in the current realization, attainment of liberation No Omission mind. This achievement called seven people over the law. "

In short, to protect the status bar of the Order strictly, to preserve the nature of the monks as well as to establish a life for human security, the Buddha has expressed reservations about discipline. Rule whose functions are completely off Kamma and professional personnel in the birth and death. Not only in the future but in the present life, if we obey strictly legal care about the welfare of life will, body and mind are relaxed.

However, should understand the true meaning of discipline is not only prevents all evil but also in the ability to do good. That is in addition to "just evil", the positive side of discipline is "good work".

So, as Buddhists we must reflect its role. For the goods shall be ordained "Buddhist Circuit for upper and lower living beings," fortune keeping security measures to spread the true teachings. For Buddhists, the holder parallel to the Three Jewels, Buddhist must also demonstrate the model of life found in a Buddhist family, help build a happy family, civilized society.
