With all due respect, there is no single code or single definition available. Generally, right actions are those acts or omissions which enhance broad survival of self and others, their symbiotes, etc. but that's an awfully broad guideline.

Every act (committed or omitted) has a consequence and a context. The context is essential to any evaluation of the act. Even the Golden Rule can fall short in situations where it is not reciprocal such as defending oneself against a rapist, for example.

All that said, there seems to be an instinct toward optimal rightness inherent in the human mind or spirit, but it is very easily pushed down out of sight when individual greed or neurosis comes forward.
