Question

My question: In medieval Japan, what do you think are some of the attributes of moral behavior?
The paragraph they are basing the question off of: From Article XXIII

(c) Therefore, from childhood you should associate with upright companions and not for a moment submit to the influence of bad friends.

(p) Just as the Buddhist scriptures tell us that the Buddha incessantly strives to save mankind, in the same way you should exert your mind to the utmost in all your activities,
be they civil or military, and never fall into negligence.

Answer 1

The rest of the paragraph: (q) It should be regarded as dangerous if the ruler of the people in a province is deficient even in a single of the cardinal virtues of human-heartedness, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and good faith. —
