I really have to point out that there are indeed right ways of living -- Buddhism's Eightfold Path speaks to this explicitly. Doesn't mean every single detail of your life will be regimented, as in a cult (or any other well-respected religion!), but right and wrong definitely do exist.
The Zen parable wasn't exactly saying to do whatever you will....
