Than Hsiang's Pu Men Pin Online Gong Xiu Dharma Sharing (25/08/2023)

Teaching Assistant of International Buddhist College, Sis Wong Ping Ling sharing "Buddhist perspective on wealth for a householder"

Is wealth evil?
Buddhism does not consider wealth as evil or bad.
Buddhism asserts the necessity of wealth for lay life.

Buddhist Scriptures :
It is not wealth as such that is praised or blamed.
It is the way it is acquired and used.
Many passages in the Scriptures exhort lay people to acquire wealth in rightful ways.

Take Refuge and Five Precepts

Sis.Liang Nee

The DHARMA : It is only by following the true value of Buddha’s teaching will ultimately lead you out of samsara! However, we have to do them step by step. Firstly, become decent human beings who avoid unwholesome actions and practice wholesome actions so that we will not go to the lower realms. With these as the foundation, develop renunciation to get out of samsara by practicing different Buddha’s teaching such as following the 4 Noble Truth to gain liberation as an arahant. The pacceka buddha attained liberation through his own effort to gain self-enlightenment.
