In my understanding, morality, concentration and wisdom are all placed on a equal footing (am I wrong? I could well be!) But whilst you get a lot on meditation and a little bit on study, on most forums (and most discussions generally), there is virtually no mention of morality (and, for me, political engagement is morality in different clothes). Why is that? Is it because of our cultural hangups about not wanting to judge? Is it that we don't want to be judged? Is it that we don't want to run the risk of upsetting others? I honestly don't know but it seems to provide evidence that Bhikku Bodhi is on the right track
I'm not really understanding why this appears to be getting rather heated, Lampang.

The 5 lay precepts are concerned with morality and we have had plenty of discussions here on different aspects of them .

As far as Bhikkhu Bodhi is concerned, he is not the spokesman for Buddhism nor for this website.
