In] BUDDHIST ETHICS 99 ' Of all things proceeding from cause, the cause of their procession hath the Tathagata explained. The great Sramana has likewise declared the cause of the extinction of all things V The things or effects are suffering and the present life, caused by past sins ; the cause is the production of suffering; the extinction of all effects is Nirvana ; finally, the teaching of the Tathagata, or the great Sramana, is the path that leads to Nirvana. Immediately following these Fou...r Noble Truths are a cer- tain number of moral precepts, very simple no doubt, but which the Buddha did not neglect any more than other re- formers have done. The first five of these precepts are : not to kill, not to steal, not to commit adultery, not to lie, not to get drunk. To these commandments five others, which are less binding but still have their importance, are added : to abstain from food except at the appointed time ; to abstain from the sight of dancing, singing, music, and stage plays ; to abstain from wearing garlands or using perfumes; to abstain from sleeping on a luxurious bed ; and, finally, not to accept gold or silver.
