Laity are needed to the handle money for the temple as precepts prohibited the sangha from doing so.

Abstract

Buddhism possesses the most effective practices through which to instruct all human beings how to live in society peacefully, happily and harmoniously.

As one part of his teachings, these are presented as reproaches on his disciples’ wrongdoings. In this paper, I will propose the use of jātakas as bedtime stories through which to build a firm Buddhist foundation in the minds of children.
