In Buddhism, the distinction between what is good and what is bad is very simple: all actions that have their roots in greed, hatred, and delusion that spring from selfishness foster the harmful delusion of selfhood. These actions are demeritorious or unskillful or bad.
All those actions which are rooted in the virtues of generosity, love and wisdom, are meritorious,
The criteria of good and bad apply whether the actions are thought, word or deed.
---Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda---
