APPLICATION OF BUDDHIST PRINCIPLE ON NOBLE TREASURES TO SEEK FOR MONEY

Abstract

               Wealth or external possessions were some things consumed by people. The application of the Buddhist principle on noble treasures to seek for money was referred to money-making with perseverance, and good occupations based on right livelihood. Beliefs in virtue, evil and deed made people earn their melodious living in line with ethics and morality, with moral shame and moral dread, and with generosity to assist disadvantaged persons because they understood and recognized how to earn money by applying the noble treasure principle. Apart from the principle, criminal crimes on stealing, theft and embezzlement in the society would be decreased while pleasure of asset owners would also increase. Then, the principle of noble treasures had to be developed regularly since it was regarded to promote the Noble Path that was a way leading to realization by wisdom.
