Features: This book consists of four classics on Buddhist ethics:
"The Sutra on the Proper Conduct of a Householder" reveals the Buddhist perspective on family ethics and morality, outlining six correct interpersonal relationships and moral norms between parents and children, teachers and disciples, husbands and wives, individuals and friends, masters and servants, and spiritual teachers and followers.
"The Sutra on the Heavy Difficulty of Repaying Parents' Kindness" is a Confucianized Buddhist text that advocates filial piety.
"The Sutra on the Ten Meritorious Deeds" proposes standards for distinguishing between good and evil, promoting the theme of "practicing all virtues and avoiding all evils," thereby guiding people to perfect their character and benefit society.
"The Sutra on the Differences in the Results of Actions" advocates the theory of karma and dependent origination, which holds the idea of "equality among all beings" in the face of karma. This theorys the behavior of Buddhists, promotes the development and positive cycle of Buddhist ethics, and is widely recognized by both the Buddhist community and academia. Do not view "karma" as superstition. Buddhist karma and dependent origination have already transformed the fundamental principles of the "creator god" and the mechanical aspects of determinism, making it a concept worthy of readers' attention.
