How to Be a Good Buddhist

How To Be A Good Buddhist?

Study the teachings of the Buddha and memorise important scriptures. Take Buddha’s teachings to heart and follow them. Be moral and keep the 5 Precepts, and 8 Precepts on Uposatha Days. Don’t kill, don’t steal, don’t engage in sexual misconduct, don’t lie, drink alcohol excessively, or do drugs.

How do I become a true Buddhist?

Yes, anyone can become a Buddhist. You will need to take refuge in the Triple Gem and follow a ceremony during which you take a vow to uphold the Five Precepts (to not kill, not steal, not commit sexual misconduct, refrain from false speech and not take intoxicants that lessen your awareness).
