Free Buddhist AudioThis week\\u2019s FBA Podcast was first given on Lord Buddha TV in India. In \\u201cThe Buddha\\u2019s Advice to a Banker\\u201d Subhuti talks about a conversation the Buddha had with his leading Lay disciple, who was one of the wealthiest men in North India. What makes him significant is that he was also recognised as a non-returner.

In this conversation the Buddha talks as prosperity, wealth and what makes for happiness. We see both his straight-forward common sense and his vision for the depth and meaning of human life. Although advice given two and a half thousand years ago it holds good today. It is not wealth that bring meaning to life but the qualities of your mind and the relationships around us.

This talk was given at the London Buddhist Centre
