I could explain more but he does so better than I, so I will merely say that while I appreciate your views on this I think you are misrepresenting his views unintentionally, and the full version of his thoughts can be found at http://dharma.ncf.ca/introduction/precepts/precept-3.html.

It is the quality of mindfulness which needs to be cultivated to a high level lest these potent forces lead to corruption. In the presence of mindfulness, money is a resource for great works benefitting one and all. In the presence of mindfulness, sex becomes tantra, an expansive and inclusive blissbenfitting one and all.

Your views on money and sex have a very western tinge: the thoughts that money is a powerful motivator and that's why we should create wealth, and consensual sex can be beneficial. Today's west has an idea of unlimited freedom and individuality that doesn't fit into the big picture of social and natural harmony. It doesn't really fit in with Interbeing. These points are just meant as thought-starters. Thanks for reading. Thanks for posting these rules; they are indeed aimed at social harmony.
