The Three Acts of Goodness are Do Good Deeds, Speak Good Words and Think Good Thoughts.

1. Do Good Deeds means we should do things that will benefit but not cause harm to others. 2. Speak Good Words means we should speak words of loving-kindness, wisdom, and truthfulness. 3. Think Good Thoughts means we should fill our mind and thoughts with compassion, and wisdom,

but free from jealousy, greed, anger, and hatred.

If everyone is able to practice the Three Acts of Goodness, society will become more harmonious, and the world will become a better place.

Five Precepts

No killing

The first precept is to No Killing. This means to respect all lives and not to kill or harm anything.

Show loving-kindness towards all beings and wishing them to be happy and free from harm is holding this precept, including taking care of the earth, its rivers and air.

One way that many Buddhists follow this precept is by being vegetarians who do not eat meat or animal products.

The second precept is to No Stealing. Taking anything that does not belong to oneself, privately or publicly owned, without permission is considered stealing. We should not take what is not given or get more than our fair share.

We should not take advantage of other people, which means taking people’s time, ideas and creative work as ours.

We should respect other people’s time, belonging and properties, learn to give; and take care of things that belong to our family, to our school, or to the public.

The law of cause and effect, also known as karma, is a fair and just rule. Every action including spoken words and thoughts we have, good or bad, has its cause and effect. Karma is not determined by fate nor controlled by others.

Each person must face the consequences of their actions. We have a choice to create new karma by what we say, do, and think.

The Buddha was born as a prince named Siddhartha Gautama in India 2600 years ago. At the age of 29, Siddhartha gave up his palace and left his family to find a way to make everyone happy. He spent 6 years searching and learning from many wise teachers but was not successful. At last, he sat under a Bodhi Tree after receiving a bowl of milk offering from a young lady and found a way for people to end their sufferings. He was then called the Buddha.
