Buddhism
To refrain from taking life The five precepts are training rules in order to live a better life in which one is happy, without worries, and can meditate well
1.(non-violence towards sentient life forms)
2. To refrain from taking that which is not given (not committing theft)
3. To refrain from sensual (including sexual) misconduct
4. To refrain from lying (speaking truth always)
5. To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness (specifically, drugs and alcohol) In the eight precepts, the third precept on sexual misconduct is made more strict, and becomes a precept of celibacy. The three additional precepts are:
6. To refrain from eating at the wrong time (only eat from sunrise to noon)
7. To refrain from dancing and playing music, wearing jewelry and cosmetics, attending shows and other performances
8. To refrain from using high or luxurious seats and bedding Buddhist meditation is fundamentally Buddhist meditation is fundamentally concerned with two themes: transforming the mind and using it to explore itself and other phenomena.
A review of scientific studies identified relaxation,concentration, an altered state of awareness, a suspension of logical thought and the maintenance of a self-observing attitude as the behavioral components of meditation;[5] it is accompanied by a host of biochemical and physical changes in the body that alter metabolism, heart rate, respiration, blood pressure and brain chemistry.[48] Meditation has been used in clinical settings as a method of stress and pain reduction. Meditation has also been studied specifically for its affects on stress.
