I thought there was no right and wrong in Buddhism as well as no self.

You need to do a little more reading. Buddhism is not a "new age" religion. The concept of right behavior is pretty close to Christian values in such things as "Love your Neighbor", value of chastity in monks, prohibitions on alcohol, theft, envy, adultry, murder, honesty, equality, etc.

Sunyata man - the emptiness of all things. Just kidding around. The universe is not what it appears, nor is it something else.
