Personal reflections on bodhisattva deeds in the "reality" of the market

.

Chapter 10 in Buddha, Wisdom and Economics, 2024, pp 145-158 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This final chapter offers a personal reflection on how a Buddhist practitioner progresses on the stages of the path in the environment of the market. Six perfections are explained of which the first four perfections are particularly relevant for his/her market behaviors: the paramita of giving, morality, patience, and efforts. For those who seek a fortunate life, accumulating good karma and avoiding bad karma are an essential practice in which good karma is gained through helping other sentient beings. The ultimate, however, can only be gained by a bodhisattva when one realizes the emptiness of all phenomena for which the perfection of wisdom is the key.
