1. Wealth

Wealth in Brief

1 “Mendicants, there are these seven kinds of wealth. What seven? The wealth of faith, ethics, conscience, prudence, learning, generosity, and wisdom. These are the seven kinds of wealth.

2 Faith and ethical conduct are kinds of wealth,

as are conscience and prudence,

learning and generosity,

and wisdom is the seventh kind of wealth.

3 When a woman or man

has these kinds of wealth,

they’re said to be prosperous,

their life is not in vain.

4 So let the wise devote themselves

to faith, ethical behavior,

confidence, and insight into the teaching,

remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.”
