understanding buddhism

buddha summarised his entire teaching as a three-fold training:

1. ethical training (morality)

2. concentration (calming meditation)

3. wisdom (insight)

buddha strongly stressed morality (ethics); saying there is no path progress without it

in other words, buddha summarised his entire teaching as:

1. do not do evil (harm)

2. do good (love all)

3. purify the mind (from self-attachment)

when buddha said:

"Do not dwell in the past

Do not dream of the future

Concentrate the mind on the present "

this was only for one part of the three-fold training
