Economic Impacts and Relationships
Buddha belived that keeping anything (such as money) to yourself is dishonest and everything should be shared. This is how he showed his monks to live. Buddha only allowed his monks to have three chivar (monk's robes), one needle and thread, one astava, one waist bond, and eight water filters.
