It is an article to really support as an assignment for my present research work. The Buddha’s first sermon after his enlightenment reveals the problem, i.e. there is no mention of metta (loving-kindness) and karunā (compassion) etc. in the first sermon, but only of self-cultivation to end one’s own suffering. Actually, the majority of the enlightened may choose for a moral way of life, however, the logical significance of the opportunity not to do so, cannot deny. Likewise, the majority of the unenlightened Buddhists may be warm and giving, but the only doctrinal reason for being so is self-service. Whatever, even though the moral attitudes – like certain loving-kindness, compassion, and so forth, and other regarding moral actions – like refraining from killing and so on, did not include in the first sermon of the Buddha, we cannot deny that it, in reality, assist to be a good person or virtue as a moral action (kusala kamma) in accordance with Theravāda Buddhism. Therefore, this article attempts to combine not only the factors as mentioned above but also the monkish regulation for monks and nun who are the enlightened and unenlightened.
