Benevolence itself is
compassion, doing
to others what one would want
done to her, never
expecting compensation.
Based on the right thought
that aiding others shares with
them much suffering.
Prosperity is fortune
that comes unbidden,
out of the same compassion,
without expecting
even renumeration.
Right livelihood is
the basis for good fortune,
and benefits all.
Thus benevolence
and prosperity are both
the way to long life.
