Someone asked: Trafficking can not be telling the truth. For example, Mr. Wang sold melons, sweet melons all have merit, if not more so, no one will buy. Thus, the Buddhists can not trade? Trafficking has violated the terms expected or not?
Then there are the questions: The Buddhist is not greed, but rather giving. Go trafficking is to have lots of interest, is affordable to trade contrary to Buddhism?
Then there are the questions: Buddhists can buy stock investing, lending, buying and selling real estate or not, because the things that are speculative in nature?
Then there are the questions: Buddhists can trade food, or no food? If food which is used to feed cattle, it is reasonable to do so encourages killing now?
Yes, these issues are the issues to be discussed and studied. When Sakyamuni was alive, Indian society is divided into four class:
First class Ba-la-clerical subjects, lo religious affairs.
Second, the base-level Police-military interests on business, politics.
Third, Phe-class health, care of the injured.
Wednesday, Prime Da La-class jobs such vile slaughter etc. ...
Buddha not only encouraged to do the job of prime class Da La, and then spread into other sectors of the allowable range, enough that the Buddhist industrial and commercial activities are legitimate.
And as said trading is the act of lying cheat who, it should be discussed. Because it is not necessary that by tricks and practices of human psychology in general created. Every true, real cost of borrowing reliable place, it is worthy of professional ethics of the trade. That only honesty can do to make permanent. If not, why so many traders guise policy: "This shop long decades, even hundreds of years."
How a Buddhist but others may suspect that I could cheat them, they lie, it is not the right attitude of Buddhists that is not even a small business anymore.
Of course, we know there are stores price markup, but there are two stores do not sell price. Maybe the start of trade can deteriorate a little less profit, but in the long run, will be trusted, so that interest income.
It is generally thought of "child old room", "rooms of the cup", "trafficking is a universal benefit most, wanted for private life guaranteed, descendants forever want to be fed even warm ". But today, times have changed, the concept is very different. The big business now, do not see their own interests that contribute to intelligence, his talent for public social welfare, perform so-called "take in society and for society , "aims to complete his career. So ideally serve to bring happiness to mankind should take care they do not have. Normal people with their intellectual abilities but do not contribute greatly to society, but at least can also solve personal daily needs, as well as their daily needs of their families and those who assistants. It is the mutual support, and each needs its own.
Therefore, each person must develop their abilities, regardless of capital, wisdom and strength like? The Buddhists trafficking, not only interested in their own interests, which abandoned the interests of others. Because society is a "mass" of people, we do anything in society also have relationships with other people, all interact and help each other.
We must have the concept has its benefits for both the benefit of making money to have adequate profits, and we must spend a reasonable amount earned, not spending money on enjoying matter and nominal satisfied. Thus avoiding the word "greed for money is due."
In the "Thien Sanh" has said, the income of the best layman should split into four parts to handle:
1. Spending on family activities.
2. Spending on business capital.
3. Remote reserve.
4. Lending at interest.
In India, more than 2500 years ago, such a distribution is actually reasonably safe. Today, two rooms away from cash reserves and bank loans at interest may enter into one. In addition, a clause should be dedicated to work for 3. One is to take care of their parents. Two of helping friends and helpers. Three Jewels is offering. Four parts in life is to ensure the stable itself, the next three sections is to take care of their parents and society benefit for religion.
According to Buddhism, there must be genuine profession, which is beneficial to his career without harm to others. So, how to say that money itself but makes others take capital bankruptcy? But to admit that because of management and various low power, the notion of different business practices, social relations are also disagreements so this can shop, do business this company interest and other stores, other companies lost money.
It is fundamental in the relationship business was not lying. If the relationships that have been bought or sold at a loss, then it is not our responsibility. In summary Buddhists do anything with just the truth, sincerity, treat others always an honest heart. As a result it does happen it might not bother guilty.
Share trading houses in the modern world is normal, governments will accept. The company through sale of shares to raise private capital idle, gathering capital for the business professional with international human benefit. Hence the stock purchase worthy cause. There are a number of people holding a large number of shares, stock manipulation when making up, when down, so as not moral. Only the big capitalists manipulate the new shares, the average investor can only base that stock price up to buy or sell stocks. In societies where the financial stability, stock manipulation is illegal. The large enterprises but in the hands of a large number of shares is not market manipulation, the price of shares to be taken down if not then bad consequences.
The buying and selling homes is an act of legitimate businesses. If buying and selling real estate with reasonable price, do not force the price down when buying, do not raise prices when selling, buying and selling real estate, then nothing is wrong and Buddhists can do.
For lending at interest, for Buddhists bank loan or credit agencies, which also is a kind of investment. Use a small amount of money flows between people with different investment or focus on a number of large enterprises as well as his media interests, interests, making social and economic prosperity, it is recommended to do so. But if high-interest loans are very risky, often lost the capital. Buddhists can not usury, nor myself had secured the excessive exploitation of others, harming compassion, it is best not to do.
In ancient times people have to the 360 sales career. In industrial and commercial society modern, up to 3600 the number of trades, we Buddhists should avoid occupations closely related to industry, sex industry, business theft, gambling, lying, drinking, but not can be definitively identified this sector, the sector that they can not do. Rate example, as open cinemas show films specializing depraved, then of course not. But open theaters to show films in nature education and recreation, it is a true profession. Buying and selling food to people using or after processing will be used in the industry.
In short, Buddhism does not encourage monitoring and industrial sectors of the industry do not see, something that everyone involved should be avoided close now.
