One time, the Blessed One resident in Savatthi. Then the king of Kosala Pasenadi, at noon to go to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed and sat down to one side. The Sun said the king was sitting on one side Pasenadi:

- Sire, from whence the Great king in the middle of the day like this?
- Here, venerable sir, is the owner of millionaires in Savatthi were common destiny, and I came to see the property that you do not have children be transported into the inner city. Venerable sir, there are eight million gold coins, silver does not refer to money.

Bach The Sun, however the food was millionaire homeowners are just sour soup plate yesterday to back. There is only cloth wearing linen garments into three panels. And then ride small cars, old and decay, are associated with leaf canopy.

- It is so, O King! One who's not true, Sire, for oil may not be great assets to bring peace to you, do not bring peace to parents, not to bring peace to his wife and children, not to bring peace to serve the people, for the people who do rejoice, not bring peace to the dear friends, for the monks, She-la-keeper, not necessarily the position of offering uplifting, capable to put up the roof, leading to optimistic results, directions to Heaven. The properties of this life without the right feet, the king will rob, rape or theft, or fire, or water washed away, or were descendants heirs hostile robbed. The fact is that, O King, the asset life without the right feet, to reduce damage taken, not given to enjoying life.

- And the Truth ranks, Sire, there is great property, bringing their peace, bring peace to parents, bring peace to his wife and children, to bring peace to the service, the workers, to bring peace dear friends, for the monks, She-la-keeper, set the position of offering upwards, potentially promoted to the higher realms, leading to effective communication, direction to Heaven. The assets of the life he is genuine, the king did not steal, do not steal or rob, or do not fire, or water from being washed away, or not being hostile descendants heirs robbed . The fact is that, O King, the asset if the righteous life, will lead to enjoying life, not taken to reduce damage.

Contemplative:

Doing a lot of money, have large capital assets is very difficult, but that spending money to correct, the logical thing is not easy. New, not everyone "is buying the first currency is also."

You can see "the true life" was the opinion of The Sun on the use of money is literally spending money, use your money to make up for her and everyone benefits.

First of all, the money you make to improve their own lives, to bring peace to his parents and wife, are generally built family warm and happy. Next is to share benefits that colleagues, staff, dear friends, who have made contributions to their money.

It is worth mentioning here that Bhagavan mentioned bilateral benefits. Interested community benefits, is the closest associates and friends as a way to maintain stable growth, sustainability. In the context of class distinctions extremely harsh society in ancient India, the opinion of The Sun is very dear.

Not only happiness set in the present, only longer teach Exalted setting method happiness in life by offering futuristic monk monks. Tam said the supreme merit field in the world, using part of the property has been offered to the Three Jewels solemn blessings in itself is a way of using money sense.

Money after all is only a means. If wasteful spending pointless, does not get to use the money to benefit the lives of individuals and communities, the money it also seems of little value, because life does not know the right feet. Or sorghum stored filled barns money without making additional benefits for themselves and then end up leaving her empty-handed as well.

Therefore, Buddhists after diligent labor, need to make money the right way to use the money to provide for themselves and who benefits, this life and the next life.END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTMENT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/9/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
