Very interesting presentation. This has corrected some of my own views and confirmed others so in that respect thank you.
However I am left wondering where these misconceptions arise from. Not being a practicing Buddhist myself. I held a similar beleif on my own view of morality and the Buddhist view of Morality. And it strikes me (likely due to my own ignorance) that this is both the obvious and most simple way to view morality.
Hello, my friend. Thank you for your comment and question. In many ways, the most complex of situations suddenly becomes simple when the mind pushes itself free from the noise of the world. I believe these misconceptions arise from simple good intentions (this and translation problems from East to West). By good intentions I mean that some want to avoid being judgemental at such cost that they begin developing an outlook that itself is a judgment on judgment.
excellent video!
