Buddhist Requisite Conduct for Civilized Society
The Buddhist Discipline for householders though contains fewer codes of conduct, and is lesser known than the monastic Discipline, the essence remains the same: to provide foundations for personal development and social harmony. The universal virtue of the Discipline means that the benefits of the prescribed personal and social conduct are not limited to a particular group, but can extend to all levels of society in today’s world.

Excerpted from the eBook
"Only true friends are worthy of keeping company with because false friends are sources of troubles in life that no one needs. Keeping one’s distance from bad people is always good advice."

"Acquisition and allocation of wealth that combine wisdom, skill, ethical conduct, and prudent management of income will, in the long run, contribute to growth and prosperity."

"The zenith of human development is the attainment of supreme wisdom."

"Uncertainty of worldly conditions or Loka-dhamma as in gain-loss, fame-disgrace, praise-reproach, and happiness-suffering are common experiences of everyone."
