Reciprocal relationships as between husband and wife, parents and children, between siblings, friends, relatives, teachers and pupils, employers and employees, the clergy and laity are emphasised. What has been considered good in teaching is not twisted and made flexible to accommodate this evil. For example killing is an akusala kamma, even if it is in the name of religion and country. Manufacture and sale of weapons will not be thought as justifiable because they earn vast incomes for countries like the USA and Britain. No one will be pardoned and absolved by one s evil actions however much one may pray.
Some religions think so.
Good actions will bring good results and bad actions bad results, whether the doer be king or pauper, according to the Buddha s teaching. Teaching of morality by setting a practical example is judged as superior to prescriptive teaching. The Buddha himself was the best example. It is a practical morality which helps the individual to behave harmoniously and righteously with others far and near. The individual is made to feel responsible and dignified by his or her own actions.
