Essentially, the word ethic does not only exist in Buddhism but also in other religions and society as well.
According to the Buddha’s teaching in some suttas and especially in Visudhimagga is has explained that before one cultivates or try to fulfills one’s own perfection, one must have to practice Sila Samadhi and Pañña. Otherwise one cannot be reached at the level of perfection as one wished to achieve. Because the Visudhimagga itself has clearly explained that before one wishes to pour the water into the glass or the bottle, that glass or bottle must, actually, have the bottom with no hole or any damage. Otherwise one cannot put the water into that glass or bottle and the reason is because there is no bottom to sustain the water, that’s why you can’t put the water into those jars or bottles. Likewise, even in Buddhism if you wish to fulfill your perfection or to achieve any kind of Janas, you might have to observe Sila initially and only then you can proceed to the next step as mentioned the Visudhimagga.
Not only those reasons that made ethic as the basic path of liberation. There are many reasons which we have to learn more and take into practice in our daily life. Like the ethic of life in the society. How to lead our-levies to be a good citizens of the country, good people of the society, good member in the community and good person to yourself.
