Teach everyone Buddhism so that they are all kind people to everyone.
The five precepts of Buddhism are:
Avoid harming any living being.
Avoid saying what is not true.
Avoid taking what you have not been given.
Avoid harmful sexual activity.
Avoid taking in substances that cloud your judgement making it hard to make wise decisions.
The three treasures of Buddhism are:
The Buddha - an enlightened one who lives by the five precepts of Buddhism and is therefore noble and hence kind. Give everything for free to others who ask for stuff from you or who needs the stuff or as gifts to anyone. A Buddha is a person with great knowledge and understanding of a subject or situation.
The Dharma - The four noble truths which are
The first noble truth is that suffering exists when we desire anything. Don't want anything. Go for accomplishing what you desire instead. For example, if you are in hospital and you desire to be released from hospital then try to be released from hospital every moment of the day and you stop suffering when you are released from hospital. A Buddhist is an activist who changes things for the better by achieving what they desire rather than perpetually desiring it. Ending capital punishment and abattoir farming harmlessly is a desire that is achieved. Achieving a desire is ending suffering. Desiring is suffering.
The second noble truth is that there is a cause of all suffering. For example, you want to live in an independent one bedroom flat and own the flat but you are in a hospital as an detained inpatient instead. The cause of the suffering is that you are a detained inpatient and you desire to be a free independent man or woman.
The third noble truth is to end suffering. You end suffering when you stop desiring anything and you make an effort to achieve what you desire. To end suffering you must achieve your desire.
The fourth noble truth is to reach enlightenment through following the eightfold noble path. The eightfold noble path are:
Right view is seeing the truth.
Right resolve is finding the right solution.
Right speech is telling the truth
Right conduct is not harming the other(s). The right conduct is helping others live for free.
Right livelihood is the right way to get what you need. So you won't cheat or steal or hurt anyone to get what you need.
Right effort is trying to do things the harmless way.
Right mindfulness is thinking about what you are doing now so that you don't harm anyone.
Right concentration is focussing on whatever you are doing and asking questions to make sure you understand what you are doing and checking that what you are doing is the right thing. Doing the right thing will never harm any humans.
The Sangha is being friends with a community of Buddhists and all striving to be Buddhas and meditating on the teachings of the original Buddha.
The three poisons of Buddhism
Moha or Delusion - To be deluded is not to try to find out the truth about something but to be ignorant instead. When you are deluded, you feel dull and confused because you don't know the truth. You make guesses instead of knowing the truth and this leads to destructive thoughts and actions. A deluded person could kill someone or themselves because they don't know the truth and guess the truth instead.
Raga or Greed - Not being generous by not giving people what they desire. The cure to greed is generosity - giving to others what they desire to end their suffering. Desire is suffering.
Dvesha or ill will - Hating other living beings. The cure to ill will is being loving and kind towards humans.
