What principles does Buddhism provide for conducting oneself?

Buddhism emphasizes that people should be aware that there is nothing we should love more than ourselves. If people know that they are loved by themselves, they should consider themselves by themselves, examine themselves by themselves, and judge themselves by themselves. Whatever action is for their own benefit, people should hasten to do that. Because the life of each person is a life amidst the emotional and social confusion in which they are involved. The important principles in life are:

Those who want to prosper in life must have four important mental principles to rely on:

1. Honesty: Be honest with yourself, your job, people, your superiors, your subordinates, society, and the country of which you are a member. Be honest with others and have honesty with yourself as your foundation.


2. Tama: There is constant training and development of oneself. One can suppress certain thoughts that, if expressed, will be harmful to oneself and others.

3. Khanti: Endurance and endurance against the abnormalities of nature, fatigue in carrying out duties and tasks, physical suffering, and hurt, disheartened, and saddened by the actions of those who do not wish us well or wish us well.

4. Generosity: Being kind to others, knowing how to sacrifice and share happiness among each other, which creates a sense of friendship towards each other.
