Buddhists live all over the world. They live in all kinds of ways, so there is no simple all encompassing answer to the question how Buddhists live.
Still, there are a few things to take into account:
- Real Buddhists have taken refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha
- Many Buddhists meditate (though traditionally this was only done by a few monks)
- Buddhists will often vow to take on the Five Vows – pancha sila – either on religious holidays or throughout their life.
- Many Buddhists are vegetarians
- Buddhists often have rituals dedicated to the Buddha: puja rituals.
