Dogen Zenji wrote about Zazen (in Fukanzazengi):

Do not think of good and bad. Do not care about right and wrong.

.So, should we just live any way we want, without thought of ‘right‘ and ‘wrong‘?

Since Zen is about ‘Freedom‘, should we live with a freedom to do as we please, pillaging and plundering as we go?
Do Buddhists lack (for a world and life that is not so ‘definite’) a definite standard of ethical conduct?

Absolutely not!
