Magga, the 8 fold path that leads to the cessation of suffering is one of the 4 noble truths
1.Dukkha
2. Samudaya
3. Nirodha
4. Magga
One of the steps on the 8 fold path is samma Kammanta, right conduct.
It is adhering to five precepts
1. Do not kill
2. Do not steal
3. Do not lie, criticize or gossip
Samma Vaca, right speech
4. Do not misuse sex such as incest, fornication, adultery or sexual harassment
5. Do not consume drugs or alcohol
because it clouds the mind
The first four are the same as four of the ten commandments.
1. Thou shalt not kill
2. Thou shalt not steal
3. Thou shalt not bear false witness
4. Thou shalt not commit adultery
The fifth of the five precepts "do not consume drugs or alcohol" is the same as the "Word of Wisdom" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. They do not consume drugs, tobacco or alcohol because it is not in harmony with the body. It is not good for the body. The Seventh Day Adventists also have a similar health standard. They think of the body as a temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in order to be able to receive enlightenment. Substances such as drugs and alcohol are not in harmony with the body and would distort thinking.
