"Secular modernism rejects ethics based on self-denial, as Christianity and Sutrayana ethics both are. On the other hand, secular modernism is wary of the phrase 'beyond good and evil'. ('Didn’t Hitler say that?')" #DavidChapman https://vividness.live/sutra-tantra-and-the-modern-worldview (1/2) #ethics #Buddhism #SecularModernism
