2012年4月悉尼大型玄艺综述解答会卢台长开示（高清含字幕）

“汝等比丘，于我灭后，当尊重、珍敬波罗提木叉，如暗遇明，贫人得宝。当知此是汝等大师，若我住世，无异此也。持净戒者，不得贩卖、贸易、安置田宅、畜养人民、奴婢、畜生。一切种植及诸财宝，皆当远离，如避火坑。不得斩伐草木、垦土掘地、和合汤药、占相吉凶、仰观星宿，推步盈虚、历数算计，皆所不应。节身时食，清净自活。不得参预世事、通致使命，咒术仙药、结好贵人、亲厚媟慢，皆不应作。当自端心，正念求度。不得包藏瑕疵、显异惑众。"《佛遗教经》

Hi

I started out chanting Amituofo too and my first sutra was Amitabha's 48 vows ^^. Nice to meet you.

Anyway since this is a investing forum might as well ask this question here. Have a friend who is a Buddhist and he refused to be vested in sheng siong shares due to the fact that sheng siong sell live fishes and prawns. What's your thoughts on this?

Hats off to your friend ! Reminds me of the Norwegian SWF that does not invest in defence related stocks (that includes ST Eng).

I always look for consistency when people start talking about religion.

If the shares are for investing then one is considered a stakeholder in the biz venture in which he will reap the appropriate karma for that biz.

How much one want to accept and put into the Buddha's teachings in his daily life depends on one's own realisation. To some it might look 'strict' but to the individual it might be perfectly normal.

He's one of the more devout Buddhist. If it weren't a hassle to find vegan food, he would have definitely become a vegan.

Anyway just another thought. What happens if I am vested in a reits which rents the space to a supermarket which carries out the same activity? Just for discussion purposes.
