The five precepts are training rules in order to live a better life in which one is happy, without worries, and can meditate well:
1.To refrain from taking life (non-violence towards sentient life forms), or ahimsā;
2.To refrain from taking that which is not given (not committing theft);
3.To refrain from sensual (including sexual) misconduct;
4.To refrain from lying (speaking truth always);
5.To refrain from intoxicants which lead to loss of mindfulness (specifically, drugs and alcohol).
