Correct. 
When we think of religions we tend to think in terms of
commandments, God's binding rules, with the explicit threat of
punishment for sinners.As Buddhist we try to develop awareness of
the consequences of our actions. We try to be more self-aware, to
be more aware of other people, and more aware of how the universe
actually works. The combined result is that we see how our actions
affect other people
Commandment have either and implicit or explicit element of
coercion in them. Do this, or else! In the Buddhist approach to
morality there can be no coercion because that will simply inflict
more suffering. The consequences of our actions are far more
powerful than any police force, judiciary or penal system. They
will always catch us up, always match the deed. Which is not to say
that everything that happens to us is a direct result of something
done in this life or a previous one. I think it can be useful to
think of every action having
consequences that we will have to live with.
When we develop awareness of the consequences of our actions, then
we are bound far more tightly than any set of rules or commandment
could ever bind us.
