Summary

This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 6 by Edward Greenly, 'Buddhist Aids To Daily Conduct' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel.

Excerpt:

...The first thing to be observed is that Buddhism does not make what we may perhaps call a “frontal attack” upon evil. There is in it no “commandment,” no “thou shalt” or “thou shalt not,” but merely an “it is good to” or “it is not good to:” and that always for the reason “such and such a thing helps or hinders sorrow’s ceasing.”

Again, the system being not faith but knowledge, evil is, in its eyes, not “wickedness,” but a “not-understanding,” a mental blindness, a failure to see things as they really are. The remedy, then, evidently, must be “right understanding,” sane and unclouded mental vision, a coming to see things as they really are....
