Seven types of assets saint.

 

  For the world, the property is a dish in education (financial, identity, name, real, lobes) that people are always going, always seek the possession and enjoyment ...

In today's society, the creation of assets is a top priority to meet the purpose of satisfying consumer demand. Man reeling in material life with many aspirations, desires not the same. Money, wealth is seen as an important integral part associated with human life. There is new money and other material values, that physical demand is fundamental, especially when it is put up on other needs, there is no money to be considered as nothing.

Urgent problems that society today is: Make money out of wealth in any way, and that way honest or not? Use the money how reasonable? The run after materialistic values ​​excessively, downplayed the spiritual values ​​have destabilizing How in the lives of individuals and society?

Business  Increase branch II  (Chapter Five legal, Traveling long products), the Buddha said: "Money, wealth is the property of the year: fire, water, the king, thefts, damage their wives and children." Assets not own one, they are only temporary possessions in the hands of this some time back into the hands of others. That anyone could see that, even when the human body panels off dead leaves, let alone property is outside the body of the animal. A passing storm could flood swept away all; a gust of fire can burn completely; war, the king of thieves or confiscation, expropriation, seizure; wife (husband) I honestly do not (drinking gambling enthusiasts, enjoy snacks ...) also dissipate their assets are, just minutes could empty-handed.

So the property is considered only as a means to help people meet the physical needs to have a stable life, help people make wishes, noble-minded to beautify life, for the purpose For peace and happiness for the individual and the community, society, more broadly human, beings.

In the  Anguttara III  (Chapter Seven measures, product assets), the Buddha said: "This, monks, there are these seven properties, how is seven? Credit financing, capitalism, centered at the precious resources, cultural resources, for financial and intellectual resources. Here, the saint disciples to have faith, believe in the enlightenment of the Tathagata, called credit accounts. Saints disciples abandon killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying, drunkenness, called capitalism. Saints disciple embarrassed with the body, speech and mind to do evil, known as Tai Tam; fear of the body, speech and mind to do evil, called the fiscal quarter. Saints disciples heard, keep what was heard, uphold the holy life, repeatedly chanting, diligent observation, achievement of right, called Transport; center renounce avarice, preferred detachment, generosity shared object, called a muse; wisdom about birth and death, could enter the Holy achievements, leading to the true cessation of suffering, known as intellectual resources. This, monks, is called the seven assets, who gets these assets is not known poverty ".

Buddha said property here is not money, material possessions, which are the property of mental asset spiritual, intellectual and moral. Tin, sex, the mind, you, cultural, experimental, intellectual property is seven things never lost, not stolen or appropriated, not destroyed unless they create self-destruction. In the Ugga  ( Increase spending sutras III , Chapter Seven measures, product assets), the Buddha declares: "Seven assets, this Ugga, not the fire, the water, the king, thieves, heirs not endearing or hostile dominant ". This is considered the property of the saints.

Seven assets are considered assets but mentally, but also from that produce physical assets, so the seven asset classes are considered wealthy, the most complete in terms of material and mentally, as the Buddha said above: "Hey, monks, here called the seven properties, there are those who are called assets not poor" (ie poor not rich, not suffering that is joyful, happy).

Why did the Buddha say there are seven things that property is everything else in life assets (not poor)? First, in terms of the spiritual life: the full credit, sex, the mind, you, cultural, charity, wisdom and found myself assets and everything else is ephemeral, temporary, since it is not craving and attachment, no bridges, no sex, so peaceful mind, do not worry, sorrow, anguish, physical life is not bother. Just as the prayer  's contemporary visual Bat  said: "To little, unconditioned self, the body and mind are in". Or in economic  heresy : "The sexual minorities, not expecting it not suffering", "The sexual minority calm the mind without fear", "know enough people on the ground but also found happiness; people do not know enough yet in heaven nor pleasant. The poor and the rich know enough yet; Rich people do not know enough yet that poor ".

Second, in terms of moral causation: Thanks to credit, sex, the mind, you, cultural, charity, understanding that we are not artifacts of unwholesome karma leads to suffering, knowing good selection method to select choose the good fortune to bring peace and happiness now and in the future, this life and after. By his donation, generosity, reverence, honor to serve the growth level (the sages, parents, teachers structure ...), to benefit sentient beings (which are downloadable) which was born in good circumstances , destined to high nobles. Through diligent practice diligently, cultivate virtues, moral, intellectual development (financial adviser, financial world, intellectual assets) that currently lives and future lives after human birth Virtuous useful society. Thanks ethics (international finance), said shameless (centered at precious resources), always to the good, righteous, goodness and beauty that personality is respected, loved. That's seven sages are the property of all the assets in the world.

In terms of value the property interests of saints (believers, eight, quarter, literature, sex, generosity, wisdom), silver in many classics to mention. Kinh  Hoa Nghiem  says: "Belief (credit) being the mother of virtue"; Economic  Pyramid II program : "Seeing the generosity, help them fun and be blessed greatly." Just stop rejoicing alms is also a huge blessing themselves let alone giving. Economic  heresies : "If anyone usually maintain a world he does get bad ones. If not pure precepts, the merits are not born to be healthy. Therefore to know, is where the world's most peaceful merit ". "Austria shame, for the fact that jewelry than before. Shame as clinch wallet can prevent the illegal end of. So often ashamed, do not forget to leave. If it takes away from the shame of merit. The shame is there are bad ones. People are not ashamed compared with the animals is none other than that ". Beijing  's Eight great sense  of cultural and intellectual resources said: "Me bodhisattvas often hear many knowledgeable, intellectual growth, achievement eloquence, all because of great joy," or "An amusing that keeps leading to poverty, just take as a career intelligence ".

So it can be said, the property in the world is nothing more than credit, sex, the mind, you, cultural, and intellectual experiments. Here are seven things never lose assets, have eternal value unless we destroy it. It means that only property loss, deterioration or loss when we no longer trust, no morals, no effort to learn, practice, not knowing centrifugal exhaust greedy selfish to share with others, shameless, shameful mistake doing, wrong.

Tin, sex, eight, quarter, charity, cultural, intellectual asset not just to get rich, to the beauty of the human superior mind, but also the asset that helps people reach dignity sage.
