The Buddha is not considered a god, and Buddhists do not pray to him or his image for favors. Instead, they meditate on how they can attain peace, love, and compassion within themselves. Buddhism has five major precepts, and Buddhists strive to follow these precepts.
They are:
1.Not to kill anything living
2.Not to steal or take anything not freely given
3.To abstain from sexual misconduct and sensual overindulgence
4.Not to lie
5.To avoid the use of alcohol and drugs which cloud the mind and impair thought
