What five? The wealth of faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. And what is the wealth of faith? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has faith in the Realized One\u2019s awakening: \u2018That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those fit for training, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.\u2019 This is called the wealth of faith. And what is the wealth of ethics? It\u2019s when a noble disciple doesn\u2019t kill living creatures, steal, commit sexual misconduct, lie, or consume intoxicants of beer, wine, and liquor. This is called the wealth of ethics. And what is the wealth of learning? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is very learned, remembering and keeping what they\u2019ve learned. These teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased, describing a spiritual practice that\u2019s totally full and pure. They are very learned in such teachings, remembering them, reciting them, mentally scrutinizing them, and penetrating them theoretically. This is called the wealth of learning. And what is the wealth of generosity? It\u2019s when a noble disciple lives at home with heart rid of the stain of stinginess, freely generous, open-handed, loving to let go, committed to charity, loving to give and to share. This is called the wealth of generosity. And what is the wealth of wisdom? It\u2019s when a noble disciple is wise. They have the wisdom of arising and passing away which is noble, penetrative, and leads to the complete ending of suffering. This is called the wealth of wisdom. These are the five kinds of wealth. Whoever has faith in the Realized One, unwavering and well grounded; whose ethical conduct is good, praised and loved by the noble ones; who has confidence in the Sa\u1e45gha, and correct view: they\u2019re said to be prosperous, their life is not in vain. So let the wise devote themselves to faith, ethical behavior, confidence, and insight into the teaching, remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.\u201d","title":"Wealth","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":348}
