Therefore, “ethical economics
charity” in Buddhism not only has moral implications, but also serves as a fundamental
guarantee for building economic benefits for future generations of life. As the
Discourse on the Theory of Consciousness-Only (Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-sastra) states:
“those Dharmas that are beneficial and helpful to both this life and next life are named
wholesome.” In itself, good deeds are not only beneficial to this life, but also to future
life. As far as both self and others are concerned, good deeds not only can benefit one,
but also benefit all people in society. This is charitable-ethical economics from
a Buddhist standpoint.
