==Liberal Distortions of Buddhism==

In the modern world many people speak of Buddhism as a [[philosophy]] or as only a "be present in the now" sort of [[meditation]]-[[contemplation]], but the core teaching ([[Dharma]]) of Buddhism is one of [[morality]] combined with the cultivation of [[compassion]]-[[mercy]] ("benefit others more than yourself") and [[wisdom]]. There are [[liberal]]s who call themselves "Buddhists" but are not at all according to traditional [[orthodox]] Buddhism since they did not "Take Refuge" nor did they receive the Five Precepts, let alone follow that required Buddhist morality. Such liberals incorrectly speak of Buddhism as supporting [[post modernism|post modern]] [[moral relativism]] (See [[Liberal hedonism]]).
