What damage does holding stocks do?
One should not kill any living being, nor cause it to be killed, nor should one incite any other to kill. Do never injure any being, whether strong or weak, in this entire universe!

It is wrong livelihood. One holds stocks with an expectation profits.seeker242 wrote:What damage does holding stocks do?

What about exclusively crop growing producers?
Apparently grain is more profitable than animal husbandry anyway.
They still involve killing of pests I guess, but then historically Buddhist monasteries and temples also owned agricultural land everywhere from India to Japan.
I realized Buddhism does not condemn usury, in fact Buddhists have historically always engaged in different financial ventures as opposed to Brahmanism and Confucianism, the "nomoi" which Buddhadharma was opposed to in India and China.
Buddhist temples and monasteries were banking long before the Knights Templar.

It is hard to be pure in samsara. You just have to use common sense.MiphamFan wrote:What about exclusively crop growing producers?
