They are no different from the ethical teachings of other buddhist sects. The basic idea is that human beings are dissatisfied and troubled because their lives embody the three poisons of greed, hostility and delusion. The way to live well is to replace them with clarity, insight, and present-moment awareness because these three lead to abiding peace and ease. Zen Buddhists take refuge in the Three Treasures (namely, Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha) and resolve to avoid evil, to do good, and to liberate all sentient beings. They endeavor to emulate the way that sages live.
So, how do sages live?
Well, sages do not kill, but they cherish all life. Sages do not take what is not given, but they respect what others have. Sages do not misuse sexuality, but they are caring and responsible. Sages do not lie, but they speak the truth. Sages do not cause others to abuse alcohol or drugs, nor do so themselves, but they keep their minds clear. Sages do not speak of the faults of others, but they are understanding and sympathetic. Sages do not praise themselves and disparage others, but they work to overcome their own shortcomings. Sages do not withhold spiritual or material aid, but they give them freely where needed. Sages do not indulge in anger, but they practice forbearance. Sages do not revile the Three Treasures, but they cherish and uphold them.
