Buddhism is the education of learning the Buddha's spirit. The Buddhist spirit emphasizes on the mind. Disciples of Buddha refer to themselves as people who are learning Buddha's spirit and behavior. To put it simply, to be Buddhist is to "refrain from doing all bad things, diligently do all good deeds, and purify the mind”.

佛教是學習佛陀的教育。佛教精神強調思想。佛教徒指的是自己正在學習佛法的精神和行為的人。簡而言之,成為佛教徒是要“諸惡莫做,眾善奉行,自淨其意”。
