To be honest, I'm not sure. I can recommend you try out Buddhanet.net though, as a good jump point. And wikipedia is really well sourced in Buddhism as a whole, with plenty of credibility to it. Access to Insight is good for Theravada specifically, and has some great scripture commentaries.
Then it'd depend on your sect. I mean, there's definite proscribed 'correct' and 'incorrect' actions and modes of thought, but how they are dealt with depends on viewpoints. Some claim the only way to leave the cycle of rebirth is to do only good. Some claim you need to do it all (though frankly, I think they might be looking for a reason to hang on more than actually transcend things, but that's me). Others will tell you that you need to transcend beyond dualist thinking altogether in order to see things as they really are.
Well, I suppose it does. I mean, does your duality require gods to function? Is there an overdeity to it, akin to Judeo-Christian God, who is there permanently? Do you maintain no person can be absolutely good?
Either I came up with it based on the idea of interconnectedness in Buddhism, or I somehow remembered the title of a Moby song I've never heard and used that. xd

My advice would be to go do some reading on it and see if there is one for you. 3nodding
And which duality concept are you dealing with?
