Buddhist Economic System.      Many who are not familiar with the Buddha's Teaching classify it as a  religion for the       next world, or for a future life. They are completely mistaken in  this, because eighty       percent of the objectives included in the Buddha's Teaching are for  the world of today.       According to the Buddha all except one of the five blessings that  accrue to the virtuous       are available in this life itself; ten of the eleven benefits  obtainable through the       development of Metta (loving-kindness) are immediate. One who leads a  good life in this       world is certain to be happy in the next. The Buddha emphasises this  in His Teachings.       Thus the Buddha who taught the way to the cessation of suffering  also pointed out the path       to a highly satisfactory way of life on earth. One aspect of this  mundane progress refers       to an economic system based on Buddhist principles with the  objective of economic       development together with the elimination of poverty. The Buddha  defines righteous       employment as engagement in agriculture, trade, dairy farming,  defence services,       government services and professional services. He prohibited trade  in weapons, in slaves,       in rearing animals for slaughter, in liquor, and in poisons, drugs  and narcotics. [/SIZE]</blockquote>
