What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Attending classes at the temple where you took refuge is a great way to stay connected to the Buddhist community. A quick note upon visiting temples, don't sit with the bottoms of your feet towards altars, Buddha statues, or monks. Women may not touch monks in any way, even to shake hands, and men cannot do the same with nuns. A simple bow will do. Most temples offer lessons in yoga, meditation, or various sutra lessons. Spend time with friends and family members who are Buddhist, too. Many translated sutras are available online, your temple might have a library, or you can buy sutras. There are also many different Venerable monks and lay Buddhists who have written explanations of Buddhist sutras. Some of the most popular Buddhist sutras are: The Diamond Sutra, The Heart Sutra, and The Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra. Teach others what you have learned about Buddhism once you think you've mastered a concept. There are hundreds of Buddhist concepts and teachings to study, but try not to feel overwhelmed or pressured to "get it" right away. Attend classes taught by a Venerable or lay devotee at your temple. When you took refuge in the Triple Gem, you vowed to uphold the Five Precepts, but this can be difficult at times. Do your best to not kill any living creature, do not steal, do not commit sexual misconduct, be honest, and do not consume addictive intoxicants such as alcohol or drugs that makes you lose control of your mind. If you break the precepts, simply repent, and do your best to keep upholding them. This is an important part of Buddhism which requires Buddhists to lead a balanced life that is not too lavish or too stringent. The Middle Way is also known as the "Noble Eightfold Path," which teaches Buddhists to abide by eight elements. Spend time studying all eight: Right view Right intention Right speech Right action Right livelihood Right effort Right mindfulness Right concentration
Keep connected to the Buddhist community. Study Buddhism regularly. Uphold the Five Precepts. Practice the Middle Way.
