Five Simple Precepts for Chan (Zen) Buddhists

We know about the suffering life, about the real causes of suffering.

Buddha taught that life consists of suffering, at least until we have experienced "enlightenment".

The main statements of Buddha are the "four noble truths" and the "noble eightfold path" of Buddha.

But how can these statements be integrated into daily life?

1st precept: I do not harm other beings

"Thou shalt not kill" is well known to us as the fifth commandment from the Bible. The Buddhist commandment goes far beyond this; according to the philosophy of the great teacher, we should also not harm other people, either physically or psychologically.

Many followers of the doctrine also extend this commandment to other living beings, to whom we must not harm, and whom we therefore should not kill. But where is the line here? Are we allowed to eat plants just because they do not "feel" pain? Are we allowed to eat animals that we have not killed ourselves?
