The Buddha’s teaching of the ‘Five Precepts’ and the ‘Ten Virtuous’ leads people to goodness. The Confucian teaching of the ‘Five Moral Conducts and One Hundred Ways’ also induce, give incentive, and persuade people to be good. Is there any sacred teaching that does not lead people to do the same?
(The Imperial Edict of Emperor Yong Zheng)
