In Buddhism, if the moral values are not being obeyed, is the person asked to leave?
In Buddhism, if the moral values are not obeyed, the person will bear the consequences since good begets good and evil begets evil, as stated by the Law of Cause and Effect. No one will ask the person to leave. When Buddhists break their precepts, they are not to seek forgiveness of sin from a higher authority, such as God or a priest. Rather, they repent and review why they broke the precepts. Relying on their wisdom and determination, they modify their behavior to prevent the recurrence of the same mistake. In doing so, Buddhists rely on the individual effort of self-examination and self-perfection. This helps them to restore peace and purity of mind.
