The Buddhist Precepts-- An Introduction
O'Brien, Barbara. "The Buddhist Precepts." ThoughtCo, Dec. 7, 2018, thoughtco.com/the-buddhist-precepts-450107.
Most religions have moral and ethical rules and commandments. Buddhism has Precepts, but it's important to understand that the Buddhist Precepts are not a list of rules to follow.
In some religions, moral laws are believed to have come from God, and breaking those laws is a sin or transgression against God. But Buddhism doesn't have a God, and the Precepts are not commandments.
