What are moral implications of impermanence,No-self, and Interdependent Arising in Buddhism?

Answer 1

Interdependent arising is possible only because every thing in the universe has no self-nature and is impermanent.

Since everything that appears depends upon everything else, our intentions and actions are very important.

If our intention/action ("function") is incorrect to the situation at hand, it will produce suffering throughout the universe.

If, on the other hand, our function is correct, then we save all beings from suffering.

Perhaps this isn't intuitive but practice validates the truth of this interdependence. Sincere practice also reveals how to function correctly moment to moment.

So the moral implications are:

- Wake up!
- Act with care -- cause and effect applies to everything
- Everything matters (cause and effect, again)
- It's never too late

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Good question! Our moral dilemmas arise from our attachments. Accepting impermanence can free us from our attachments. Interdependent arising can be results from our compassionate deeds, or misdeeds for that matter.

Answer 3

I'd say they all teach you that only nothing is forever, ego is a selfish illusion, and only in acting harmoniously for mutual enlightenment can we grow and transcend this incarnation. The moral implications are that it helps make you a kinder, more caring, more mindful, more helpful, more cooperative, more forgiving, more respectful, more constructive person who will be less apt to do wrong or harm and more likely to practise right thought, feeling, word, and action. How'd i do?

Answer 4

You still need to follow the moral aspects of the 8 fold path - right (meaning good) understand, thought, action, speech, livelihood, & effort despite the above being true in Buddhism. None of that means that you do not have to be good just because it is not really, really happening to a person or to yourself.

Answer 5

A person who can actually experience those things is only satisfied with honesty, generosity, and benevolence in themself.

Answer 6

'impermanence' is one of buddhism's more serious misunderstandings of the nature of reality.

the world is everything which is the case: which is to say that the world is the total of what exists, what might exist, what has existed recently enough to still leave its trace in the actual, and what is close enough to coming into being that the actual tends toward it.

we deal with the world as it is, and we deal with the things which are in the world. nothing which is in the world is impermanent, because everything which is in the world is in actuality now.

buddhists imagine a world full of things which are not, because buddhists are idolaters.

when a buddhist wakes he will no longer trouble himself about such figments as impermanence.

Answer 7

the moral implications are based on how you want to view those concepts
