Mig\u0101ra of Roha\u1e47a is so rich, so very wealthy.\u201d \u201cBut Ugga, how rich is he?\u201d \u201cHe has a hundred thousand gold coins, not to mention the silver coins!\u201d \u201cWell, Ugga, that is wealth, I can\u2019t deny it. But fire, water, rulers, thieves, and unloved heirs all take a share of that wealth. There are these seven kinds of wealth that they can\u2019t take a share of. What seven? The wealth of faith, ethics, conscience, prudence, learning, generosity, and wisdom. There are these seven kinds of wealth that fire, water, rulers, thieves, and unloved heirs can\u2019t take a share of. Faith and ethical conduct are kinds of wealth, as are conscience and prudence, learning and generosity, and wisdom is the seventh kind of wealth. When a woman or man has these kinds of wealth, they\u2019re really rich in the world, invincible among gods and humans. So let the wise devote themselves to faith, ethical behavior, confidence, and insight into the teaching, remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.\u201d","title":"With Ugga","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":192}
