As a Buddhist, you can become a wealthy person. If you act according to what our teacher told us, you can even protect your money you earned genuinely.

The Supreme Buddha taught us some valuable details regarding this topic in a discourse known as Vyaghghapajja Sutta. Anyone who earns money by working in farming, business, government sector, or any other area should have four items to become a rich person with respect to money and as well merits.

  1. Utthana Sampada (Effort):- One should build the ability to work hard and skillfully overcoming any laziness tactfully. Also, should be capable of organizing the work efficiently. This is the known as the Utthanasampada.
  2. Aarakkha Sampada (Protection):- The money one earned by working hard needs to be protected without letting it destroyed from natural disasters such as fire, wind, flood, and landslides and from being confiscated.
  3. Kalyanamitta Sampada (Noble friendship):- A Noble friend has excellent characteristics like being pleased about Lord Buddha, virtuous, fond of giving, and association with wise friends. When someone has such a friendship, that person will also become rich with the same qualities.
  4. Samajeevikata:- That is living a life by only spending money matched to what is being earned. One should not spend money carelessly but at the same time should not keep it greedily. One needs to be comfortably live spending money according to that person’s wealth.

After cultivating these qualities, one should also close the four doorways of destruction. Those four destructive doorways are:

  1. Passion towards women.
  2. Thirst towards liquor.
  3. Eagerness towards gambling.
  4. Longing of low-quality friendships.

One who lives a life according to these Buddha’s teachings will definitely see the prospered life in a little period of time. This is how prosperity can be achieved through Buddhism. Try this method by yourself, and you will also witness the wisdom of Buddha.
