Summary

The text explains why some people who follow Buddhism become wealthy while others experience misfortune. It states that true followers find enlightened teachers, uphold Buddhist precepts, and dedicate themselves to practice, thus earning protection and prosperity. Conversely, those who lack faith, disrespect the teachings and scriptures, engage in harmful actions, and seek help from other deities will suffer misfortune and negative consequences. The misfortunes are not caused by the Buddha but are a result of their own negative actions and lack of genuine faith. (AI generated)
