2. Five PreceptsThe Five Precepts constitute the basic Buddhist code of ethics, undertaken by lay followers of the Buddha Gautama in the Theravada as well as in Mahayana traditions.

Undertaking the five precepts is part of both lay Buddhist initiation and regular lay Buddhist devotional practices.
