There is nothing wrong with earning money. One has to earn money to live life unless you are a bhikkhu. Problems arise only when you focus on earning too much money.
- Buddha taught lay people to live moral lives, not miserable lives. He discouraged excess indulgence in sensual pleasures and, at the other extreme, submitting one’s body to suffering. He recommended the “middle path,” away from the two extremes.
- Eating well, exercising, and living a healthy life are essential. Our brains use 25% of the energy we get from our food. If you neglect to eat well, your brain may not function well. A healthy brain is necessary to understand Buddha’s teachings.
- You may get sick if you don’t eat and exercise well; taking long walks is an easy exercise. Otherwise, you will not be able to learn Buddha’s teachings.
- Please read all my above comments carefully. You seem to rush into things. Relax and take the time to absorb the teachings.
