[Zen] Re: Moral moralistic
Jue Miao Jing Ming - Being moral is to act spontaneously in the interest of others... I thought that was called ALTRUISTIC? Sounds like those Yale professors have been spending too much time on Wall Street to know what is moral. Current Book Discussion: any Zen book that you recently have read or are reading!

[Zen] Re: Moral moralistic
Dear Jackson The word moral here has a insightfull connotation based in a social or individual code of behaviour. In some literature a moral was used at the end of a story to imply a teaching. In the way I understand Being moral is to act spontaneously in the interes of others is that because one has developed his/her own principles and consequently its own individual code of behavior, thinking and seen things...that person acts accordingly to it. A person who has develop his/her own moral out of direct experience is most of time altruistic. Instead, moralistic has negative connotations. There is no insight to it but narrowness in the individual or collective mind. I didn't hear the talk JM mentions here and I may be wrong in my interpretation.

RE: [Zen] Re: Moral moralistic
Jackson, The key item in this phrase is 'spontaneously', not 'in the interest of others'. As far as I'm concerned 'in the interest of others' shouldn't even be tagged on the end of this. That would make it a cleaner concept. ...Bill!
