THE ART OF WEALTH

Money talks, even in hell.
                                                                                                         - Japanese proverb

The root of happiness is justice;
the root of justice is wealth.
The root of wealth is sovereignty;
the root of sovereignty is mastery of the faculties.


The root of mastery of the faculties is guidance;
the root of guidance is attandance upon elders.
From attendance upon elders comes discernment;
by means of discernment one may prosper.


The successful individual realizes self-mastery;
one with self-mastery enjoys all riches.


Attainment of wealth creates prosperity for the people;
by virtue of the people's prosperity,
even a leaderless domain will be orderly.
