Buddhism is
not ethics.
Buddhism is a WAY of thinking.
There are no Karmic punishments in Buddhism, although people
want there to be.
The closest
thing to Karma in Buddhism, is the concept of BALANCE.
Reality
reacts to our actions..
Zen morality
is rewritten every moment with an awareness of what happened
before,,
what might happen, and primarily: WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW.
Buddhist thinking
requires awareness of the moment plus awareness of your environment
plus awareness of yourself;
so whatever
you decide or do is done naturally,
without hesitation or guilt.
Zhen Shen-Lang
Change, change, change
People are afraid to rearrange
Change, change, change
Nothing ever stays the same
Say you can't change
You'll prove you can be a fool
Pray you don't break
Your own stupid rules
Look around and listen
To your own complaints
You say the world's to blame
While you remain the same
You swear to God
You cuss so well
Are you really free?
In what you call Hell
You're stuck
In your own past
You are right: you can't change
You can't think that fast
Free the change
Don't you really want to?
Free the change
Don't you see you've gotta
Feel the change
The only way to grow
Feed the change
Free the change
Free the change
SOLOS:
Change, change, change
People are afraid to rearrange
Change, change, change
Nothing ever stays the same
