Zen Morality: Follow and Then Forget Rules

Zen teachings on morality have often been distorted to present the idea of being “beyond good and evil.” In reality, Zen Buddhism takes a view of morality that is more complex than this duality, instead focusing on how to alleviate suffering in ourselves and others. Examine the concept of a morality that is not dictated by fixed rules of right and wrong and learn how to confront moral dilemmas through the lens of reducing harm.
