Is There a Commitment to Ethics?

A commitment to understanding, of an inquiry into ethics forms a basis for all the practices that we do. Soul making practic can extend thate. With second one, what at the actual word in pali, samadi usually gets translated as concentration. I don't think it really brings out what the buddha was talking about. It is not just the ability to nail your mind to some object and keep it there,. without wavering at all. Thete is influencing things, but where not talking about it. We're just talking in simplist terms, a mipunous reduction of suffering, seeing the illusion of self, et cetera.
