What do Buddhists think is "right"?

  • So, the Eightfold Path is right seeing, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right meditation. So what do they think is "right"? What do they think is "wrong"? And I don't mean how to gain the eight right path(s) or whatever. I mean, what is "right"?


  • The Buddha taught that only truth and compassion have any permanence so seeking truth and exhibiting compassion is what he considered to be right.


  • Your self will know the difference.


  • "Right" is "correct," which means those that lead you to liberation and enlightenment, or more specifically, those which are the direct opposite of those that lead to more and more suffering.


  • Right and wrong are inherent truths and not some morality in a book.


  • To be in the middle for everything


  • There is no right or wrong in their belief

    Life is only suffering, meaning the world is wrong and life itself is bad and painful, and to embrace physical happiness in material possession will only make you suffer more. However, nothing is wrong, as it will always result in the loss of karma which is regainable. You will never condemn a buddhist to a version certain of hell, they always have room for admitting wrong doing and regaining karma, the journey never goes backward where you are stuck going to hell and can never get to nirvana. Doesnt happen.

    The idea is to extract yourself from all pleasureable and painful areas of life, reach a state where nothing can bother you, even death

    Thats the Buddhist way, the 8-fold path

    If you don't follow it, you will reincarnate with a shitty life over and over until you start detaching yourself from the world and gaining karma.

    But the point is, you are never ****** to go to a "hell" indefinately


  • Generally "right" actions and thoughts are those that lead to productive benificial results, especially personal growth and maturity. Wrong thoughts and actions are those that do harm or defeat positive results.

    Note that Buddhism focuses on personal growth and human development ---It really doesn't concern itself with "God".

    Some Buddhist purists believe in "reincarnation" instead of an after life in"heaven", I personally don't see any evidence to support either of these. I like Buddhism because its self-improvement teachings seem self-evident (Good).
