He taught how to be good and everything is based on Buddhism.
Anti-Buddhadasa said that the Thai monk buddhadasa brought many controversial teachings (potential heresy) into Buddhism.
“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. He is our guide and our refuge. Sir, may the Buddha himself please clarify the meaning of this. The mendicants will listen and remember it.”
