...The general principle of economic conduct for the Buddhist layman is appamada, which translates roughly as paying attention and taking care. The basic virtues that this principle invokes are attention, carefulness, conscientiousness and diligence.
The householder who seeks to follow the Dhamma must therefore work hard, avoid wasting resources, cultivate his skills, practise thrift and, without becoming possessive, take good care of his possessions.
