Bodhichitta is essential for whatever path you practice, because it's the essence of enlightenment. | | | Several examples of the golden rule can also be found in the Buddhist scriptures, "Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." Udana-Varga 5:18 and "...a state that is not pleasing or delightful to me, how could I inflict that upon another?" Samyutta NIkaya v. |
