Question
Is it immoral and unethical to teach that there is a supreme godhead and that man has a soul? i mean, wasn't Buddha against the godhead and soul of man? and do buddhist have same ethics and morality as the catholic (i have read that you do)?
Hello Henrik,
It is not immoral or unethical, but, from the standpoint of Buddhism, quite mistaken and therefore misleading. As for the ethical and moral standards of Buddhism, please search 'precepts' with the Picosearch device at the bottom of any page of our website http://www.euronet.nl/~advaya/index.htm
Kind regards,
Advayavadananda.
