Does the practice of morality (keeping precepts), kind and compassionate living with good relationships lead to the reduction of suffering?
A. Yes. As you know, in Buddhism we have five precepts to observe, that’s morality. When you observe the five precepts, you have to abstain from killing, taking what is not given, any kind of sexual misconduct, telling lies and any kind of intoxicants. If you refrain from harming any living beings, the other people are not hurt, then you can reduce their suffering by observing your precepts.
