Why did Buddha lay emphasis on righteous conduct and values ?


Buddha laid emphasis on righteous conduct and values because:

(i) The world is transient and constantly changing, it is also soulless as there is nothing permanent or eternal in it. It is by following the path of moderation between severe penance and self-indulgence that human beings can rise above these worldly troubles.

(ii) The righteous actions is the mean to escape from the cycle of rebirth and attain self- realisation and nibbana, literally the extinguishing of the ego and desire-and thus end the cycle of suffering for those who renounced the world.
