Do you go to any specific temple to pray? Do you abstain from sex during that day? Do you eat vegetarian on that day? Do you make any vows on that day? Do you release any animals on that day?

No, I m a practising Buddhist, not a praying nor ritual one.

 

No, but I abstain from promiscuity.

 

No, though it is healthy to do so.

 

No, I abide by the 5 precepts throughout the year tho.

 

No, releasing animals mindlessly is discouraged actually.

鍾意就好,理佢男定女

 

never argue with the guests. let them bark all they want.

 

结缘不结

不解缘

 

After I have said what I wanna say, I don't care what you say.

The precepts are commitments to abstain from killing living beings, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying and intoxication.

It all depends on your intentions.

 

Killing for research.

If ii is done for a greater benefit of more beings, it is acceptable. 

 

Killing for food.

For normal consumers, as long as the meat is "3 cleanse", I.e. not killed for them, have not heard nor witnessed the killing. https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/zh-sg/三净肉

 

For the butchers n staff in such industries, it is advisable for them to switch livelihood though.

 

Random sex should be avoided completely.

 

White lies.

If the borrowers are gamblers or drugs addicts, by all means.

 

If the borrowers need it for a cause, no.

 

If u being taken granted can help a person to cease his suffering, by all means, please help.

On Vesac day,  the same as on Christmas day, Eastern day, etc.

I get up in the morning and go to the gym,  have breakfast,  then lunch,  afternoon meal, dinner,  watch some porn and maybe jerk off before going to bed to sleep.  :)

Like every other day,  I don't lend money (except to my son, who pays me back),  but I may give money to someone in big need.
