Feminism towards Buddhist Economics
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays, the world is full of people who are only thinking of themselves. Most of them
continuously buy things even if they do not need it at all. Moreover, they also keep compete with others. All of this is because they are influenced by the marketing strategies and the commercial. Buddhism does not deny the wealth or say that it was the devil. The wealth can actually save people from hardship. It can also help people enhance their mind. People will help one another and make the society be the better place to live. From the view of Buddhism, the benefit of economics and materialism can fulfill only the physical needs. However, these things can let people spend their time in enhancing their mind. And the measurement tool,
gross national happiness (GNH), is developed to show the meaning of life
