Buddha's Practical Advice for Maintaining Material Gains and Wealth
2016-05-24 Buddha's Practical Advice for Maintaining Material Gains and Wealth 27:23
Shaila Catherine
Shaila Catherine gave the seventh talk in a seven-week series on lesser known Buddhist teachings titled "Thus Have I Heard." This talk revolves around a teaching in the Anuttara Nikaya (AN 4:255) that expresses the Buddha's very practical advice for protecting one's material goods and wealth. He recommends that people 1) look for things that are lost, 2) repair things that are broken, 3) be moderate in consuming food and drink, and 4) place a virtuous person in the position of authority.
