How do you determine the difference between right and wrong?  

Today's podcast highlights the Zen Buddhist perspective that encourages us to move away from these labels, recognizing that things are inherently neither good nor bad. This shift in perception offers five key benefits: 

1. Removing judgment of oneself and others, creating breathing room for personal growth and understanding. 
2. Fostering self-love and forgiveness, liberating individuals from past regrets and self-criticism. 
3. Reducing anxiety by detaching from rigid expectations of good and bad outcomes, allowing for creativity and risk-taking. 
4. Enhancing performance by decreasing stress and self-consciousness, enabling a more peaceful and focused state of mind. 
5. Alleviating existential anxiety by realizing that people are not inherently good or bad, and encouraging the development of a personal ethical code based on individual circumstances. 

In an era of societal pressures and rigid constructs, this script challenges us to reconsider our judgments and embrace a more authentic and compassionate approach to life.   

Enjoy!
