Summary
The basis of Buddhist morality is reality itself: the Universe has a moral code, and this moral code is not an abstraction but implanted in the Universe itself, and Master Dogen uses right and wrong to indicate what is in tune with the universe. Mike says Dogen tries to explain morality without resorting to little voices inside us. Mike writes that scientific materialism gives rules for how the world works without a criterion for right and wrong, and Nishijima says knowledge about facts cannot teach us the direction in which we should go. Nishijima says we can explain theoretically why we should follow morals.
