    There is a simple way for us ordinary people to distinguish between good and evil--- words, actions, or attitudes that are beneficial to others, and that is good;

    Conversely, words, actions, or attitudes that are detrimental to others are evil.

    For ordinary people, not seeing or knowing good and evil at all, or not knowing how to distinguish between good and evil, is a great foolishness.

    For saints, they can accurately distinguish between good and evil, but good and evil are not in their hearts. Although their notions of good and evil are not tainted by their minds, their actions, words, and attitudes are naturally in line with the supreme good. This is the famous sentence planted in the "Six Patriarchs Altar Sutra":

    Not thinking about good, not thinking about evil, that's the true face of the Theravada.

    The concept of good and evil is the most basic pair of concepts in moral philosophy, it is the most general concept of moral evaluation of people or things, and is usually used as a synonym for morality and immorality. Good refers to behaviors or events that conform to certain moral principles and norms, evil refers to behaviors or events that violate certain moral principles and norms, and the concept of good and evil refers to people's evaluations, opinions and opinions on whether certain behaviors or events are moral or not.

    The concept of good and evil not only has different connotations in different eras, different regions, and different nationalities, but also has certain differences in the concept of good and evil between the ruling class and the ruled class in class society. The ruling class has always used various means to make the notion of good and evil, which represents and reflects its own interests, dominant in social life. The evolution of the dominant conception of good and evil in every society coincides with the contradictory movements of the productive forces and relations of production in that society.

    In fact, there is no certain scope between good and evil, it is inseparable from the change of people's mood, and often changes with different environments. In ancient Chinese philosophy, there are theories such as the theory of sexual goodness, the theory of sexual evil, the theory of sexual goodness and evil, and the theory of sexual non-good and evil, and the integration of them together is complete, and the ultimate goal of the four doctrines is to promote harmony, and human nature has no good and evil in its natural attributes, just like a blank sheet of paper; Human nature gradually forms two sides of the same body of good and evil in social attributes, and the theory of sexual goodness is the advantage of human nature, and the theory of sexual evil is the disadvantage of human nature.

    Although he has Buddha nature, he is lost in this life, not only in this life, but also in this life, and he is very confused. How do you know it's serious? When the six roots come into contact with the realm of the six dusts, they are separated and delusional, or when we talk about the heartbeat, we are delusional.

    The mystery deepens again, not only with heartfelt thoughts, but also with separation and persistence. If there is no karma in the heart, there is no good and evil, and there is good and evil in the separation of attachments, and there are three good and evil paths, and there are three evil paths of good feeling, and there are three evil paths, and there will be no six reincarnations. Whoever has the ability to see and hear the voice, the six roots are not separated and attached to the realm of the six dusts, this is true cultivation and real kung fu.

    Whoever has attained it, he has a heart-to-heart thought, and there is no good or evil in his heart. But (ordinary people) are attached to good and evil

    The realm is like a building, there is only a distinction between high and low, and there is no distinction between good and evil. The realm is where the human mind is placed, and it determines the pattern of your actions.

    It is often said that "good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil", and if the boundaries between good and evil are not clarified, many people think they are doing good, but in fact it may be the opposite. The boundary between good and evil is based on the causality of nature.

    Our criteria for judging good and evil are not necessarily based on effects, but on motives, which are generated by the mind.

    Sometimes, with good thoughts, with good deeds, there are not necessarily good results.

    Sometimes, there are bad motives, bad motives, but good results.

    However, the creation of karma is not based on the effect, but on the original motivation itself.

    If we generate kindness, when this kindness is manifested in physical actions, in words, then he will have good deeds and good words.

    If you have a bad mind, you will have bad behavior, bad behavior, and bad language.

    Once this kind of mind is generated, and when it is put into practice and action, he creates karma in the body, speech, and mind.

    Among them, the mental karma is purely the intention gate, while the physical karma is completed through the body, and the verbal karma or oral karma is completed through the verbal table.

    Once this kind of karma is created and the karma is encountered, the karma is able to mature. Once the karma is ripe, then there is no way to avoid the good and happy results brought about by good karma. Once the negative karma has matured, there is no way for us to avoid the retribution of the negative body, speech, and mental karma that we have created.

    Good and evil coexist, but they are not relative, yet the same act may be good for some.

    Causing harm to others, doing evil is easy to define, on the contrary, not doing a few hungry denials is single. However, people have added positive factors to the connotation of the single and take the initiative to do good. will be seen as good.

    For others, it may be evil. The boundaries between good and evil are not absolutely clear, because people's values cannot be unified. We must establish the core values of socialism, but also to make the boundaries between good and evil more detailed.

    Although human competition in nature and society is inevitable, we can minimize unnecessary competition, reduce vicious competition, and strive to create a harmonious natural society.

    There is no clear line between good and evil, such as when you just went to work in a place. Some people talk to you, especially kind, to everyone, you will think she is kind, but you never know that she is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.

    I don't think there's a clear division. The world is not black and white, and some things are more complicated and cannot be said to be clear about good and evil.

    To be honest, I don't think there's a clear line between good and evil. A lot of times, it's just a matter of stance. Sometimes we want to do good things, and when we do them, they are evil.

    The so-called one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, for good or evil depends on yourself, good may be evil, evil can also be good.

    Good and evil are relative. And they exist at the same time, just like life and death. Define evil from the perspective of good, and interpret good from the perspective of evil.

    It's like if two people are taller than the other, and one is taller than the other, then the tall person is relative to the taller person. The above is also true, these are a moral code that people have accumulated over a long period of time.
