According to the Four Noble Truths of Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, humans can free themselves of desire by following the Eightfold Path:
- right views
- right aspirations
- right speech
- right behavior
- right mode of livelihood
- right efforts
- right thoughts

In everyday life, the eightfold path requires that the individual do no harm to any creature. Expressly forbidden are theft, falsehood, unchastity, strong drink, and the taking of life.
