Different religion has got different morality. Caste system is
moral for the Hindu. But is it moral from Buddhism point of view?
Killing people of different faith is okay, said the Koran. Its
moral. Its good conduct. But is it moral and good conduct from
Buddhism point of view? God punish people by flooding killing
people in the Old Testament. Is that good, is that moral? I think
MCK and MCK sect is not being straight thinking in this aspect.
The example u gave, its when the authority, the boss, also
believe in taking care of the people, and that works. But what if
the authority doesn't believe in taking care of people, but abusing
them?? Under Confucianism, how would one deal? If I totally buy
into Confucianism, and obey a abusive boss, who only believe in
exploit the employee and abusing them, then how? In Confucianism
world view, it didn't say, screw the boss, just resign.
Confucianism stress on being loyal. So I die die must stick to that
abusive boss? U see the problem with confucianism? Its a flaw set
of philosophy and teaching. So why advocate a flaw set of teaching
as entry and foundation to Buddhism??
Confucius’ Five
Virtues
“To be able under all circumstances to practice five things
constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are gravity,
generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness and kindness.”
Confucius taught five virtues a gentleman should practice every day to live a
healthy, harmonious life:
Ren is
the virtue of benevolence, charity, and humanity;
Yi, of honesty and
uprightness;
Yì may be broken down
into zhong,
, doing one's best, conscientiousness, loyalty; and
shù,
, reciprocity, altruism, consideration for others, and
Confucius’ early version of the Golden Rule, “what you don't want
yourself, don't do to others."
Zhi, knowledge;
Xin, the virtue of faithfulness and
integrity; and,
Li, correct behavior, or
propriety, good manners, politeness, ceremony, worship.
