Buddhist ethics:

-The Eightfold Abstinence for householders includes: 1.Not killing or approving of killing. 2.Not stealing or taking what has not been given. 3.Practicing chastity and not engaging in sexual misconduct. 4.Not lying or causing others to lie. 5.Abstaining from intoxicating drinks. 6.Not eating at improper times. 7.Avoiding the use of perfumes and garlands. 8.Sleeping on simple bedding. -Comparison with the Ten Commandments: -Similarities include prohibitions against killing, stealing, lying, and adultery. -Missing from the Eight Abstinences are commandments related to the worship of God, the sabbath, and honoring parents. -The first four commandments in Exodus 20 focus on the relationship with God, which is not addressed in the Eightfold Abstinence. -The inclusion of the first four commandments in Judeo-Christian ethics introduces a theistic dimension, emphasizing duties to God and setting a foundation for moral and ethical behavior based on divine command, distinct from the primarily ethical and practical approach of the Eightfold Abstinence.
