"â?¢ What are the 5 Precepts?

The moral code within Buddhism is the precepts, of which the main five are: not to take the life of anything living, not to take anything not freely given, to abstain from sexual misconduct and sensual overindulgence, to refrain from untrue speech, and to avoid intoxication, that is, losing mindfulness."

Hm.. I thought that Buddha spent 7 years in a forest in asia somewhere, eating mushrooms?.. maybe that was just a story from one of my stoner friends. Oh well.. very interesting though. Thanks for the link )
