Via Daily Dharma
Experiential Ethics | February 5, 2015
The wonderful challenge of Buddhism is that it does not offer any absolute formulas for virtuousness. In the Silabatta Sutta,
the Buddha asks Ananda if every precept and practice taught by the
dharma is holy. Ananda replies, 'Lord, that is not to be answered with a
categorical answer.'
