How should one live the Buddhist way of life?

To live the Buddhist way of life one should avoid doing evil, perform wholesome acts and purify one’s own mind.

The “don’t and do” moral principles of the Buddhist way of life are as follows:
 1. To abstain from killing, and develop loving-kindness and compassion to all living beings.
 2. To abstain from stealing, and develop right means of livelihood.
 3. To abstain from sexual misconduct, and develop restraint of the senses.
 4. To abstain from lying, and develop truthful speech.
 5. To abstain from intoxicants, and develop restraint and mindfulness.

The more one can observe the above Five Precepts and Five Virtues, the more happy and peaceful life one will achieve.

Furthermore, trying to purify one’s own mind from greed, hatred, and delusion step-by-step in daily life is the ideal way for all Buddhists.
