Buddhists 10 Commandments

We are used to our own 10 Commandments, given to Moses by God on Mount Sinai. But it’s interesting to see what the Buddhist 10 Commandments say. Some of them would be very appropriate to apply them in our own lives. So here they are:
1. Do not destroy life.
2. Do not take what is not given to you.
3. Do not commit adultery.
4. Tell no lies and deceive no one.
5. Do not become intoxicated.
6. Eat temperately and not at all in the afternoon.
7. Do not watch dancing, nor listen to singing or plays.
8. Wear no garlands, perfumes or any other adornments.
9. Sleep not in luxurious beds.
10. Accept no gold or silver.
