Poverty is not connected to religion. There are also poor Christian and Islamic countries. Another reason might be that the Buddhist religion does not equal wealth to happiness. Attachment to material things ultimately hinder you from reaching nirvana.

∙ 8y agoThere is no relationship between being good and being poor. Drug dealers are often rich but not good, as an example. Buddhism strives to displace lust for things beyond a persons needs as a desirable trait. On the basis a Buddhist with "enough" might feel better off than a rich person who has much but needs more. Evaluating a person on the material things they have suggests a skewed view of the world.
