Oriental Teachings on Husband and Wife
Oriental Teachings on Husband and Wife
(Oriental enseignements sur le mari et la femme)
Everybody wants to be rich all over the world, since they like to have big money.
Israelites want to be rich; Christians want to be rich; Muslims want to be rich; Hindus want to be rich; Chinese want to be rich; and Japanese want to be rich.
That is why super-rich Americans in New York and Washington D.C. never respect Muslims, Hindus, Chinese, and Japanese in addition to poor Americans.

In order for Asians and poor Americans to cope with this type of arrogant super-rich Americans in New York and Washington D.C., they have to know that the only way is to strengthen their spiritual tradition that can teach them how to avoid tragedy the desire for big money would cause on them.
Then, Asians and poor Americans will not be fatally damaged if the US economy and the Wall Street should bring about mighty depression globally in future.

There is interesting description in a book introducing and exploring Oriental minds, religions, and ideas.

It tells actually that almost every teaching presented in the Bible can be found in the teachings of great religious figures in Asia.
As for today, since I find some interesting teachings in ancient India, I will write down them:
Ethics for a husband toward his wife:
(1) Respect his wife as he respects a god.
(2) Do not despise his wife.
(3) Do not be unethical to his wife by associating with other women.
(4) Exercise authority on his wife.
(5) Provide adornments for his wife.
Ethics for a wife toward her husband:
(1) Manage well her work.
(2) Treat well her family members.
(3) Do not be unethical to her husband at all.
(4) Protect wealth earned.
(5) Be wise, smart, skillful, and diligent on what is entrusted to her.
If all the husbands and wives in Asia and US poor communities are better than those in Washington D.C. and the Wall Street, super-rich Americans will not be able to become richer by sacrificing Muslims, Hindus, Chinese, and Japanese as well as poor Americans any more.
So, do not be unethical or unethical at all, since these commandments match the teachings by Moses and Jesus Christ.
