                       company, must hold and practice these Gahapati-Dhamma:    118   The Four Qualities of
                       master of a house as follow:


                                 1)  Saddhāsampadā means accomplishment of faith which a master of a
                       house must invest and delegate the belief to his co-worker. Originally faith is Buddhism

                       is believing in the virtue of the Buddha, Dhamma, and the Sanga and natural of Kamma:

                       cause and effect. Even there is dissimilar about the concept of Saddhā and Diṭṭhi, faith
                       and belief, most Buddhist still misunderstood. Sayardaw U Dhammapiya pointed out

                       about  these  two  concepts  accordingly  with  Abhidhamma  that  “genuine  faith  is
                       associated with wholesome mental states, while belief is associated with wholesome or

                       unwholesome mental states.” 119  That is why, Buddhist believe that faith is the root of
                       the  spiritual  practice  and  without  is  nothing  can  be  develop  both  in  mentality  and

                       physicality.

                                2)   Sīlasampadā  means  accomplishment  of  virtuous  behavior  which
                       householder must fulfil the quality of morality for a good company. Morality is the

                       uniform of Buddhist followers. When one is walking in public without any clothe and
                       uniform, he or she is like a shameless person or a senile demential person. In the same

                       way, in Buddhism, if one lack of morality, he or she is a neither a virtuous person and
                       sensitize the happiness of human, and deva: Devine or will be born and suffered in the

                       hell or terrible places. Even in an individual social life, morality is powerful, especially

                       for self-discipline. Because, moral person or leader can be highly honored by society
                       not  only in Buddhist  community but  also  in  others. Moral  function or  attitude can

                       process  the  quality  of  one  and  others  to  show  who  emphasize  about  morality  is

                       trustworthy. Thus, virtuous behavior or moral virtue can help oneself or others to create
                       a peaceful and harmonious organization or social achievement. Originally, morality

                       here is taken as precepts such as five, eight, ten precepts and so on.
                                3)   Cāgasampadā means accomplishment of generosity which is the quality

                       of a householder to gather the co-worker friendly and happily by sharing both opinion
