Sappurisadana Sutta: A Person of Integrity’s Gifts
“These
five are a person of integrity’s gifts. Which five? A person of integrity gives
a gift with a sense of conviction. A person of integrity gives a gift
attentively. A person of integrity gives a gift in season. A person of
integrity gives a gift with an empathetic heart. A person of integrity gives a
gift without adversely affecting himself or others.
“Having
given a gift with a sense of conviction, he — wherever the result of that gift
ripens — is rich, with much wealth, with many possessions. And he is
well-built, handsome, extremely inspiring, endowed with a lotus-like complexion.
“Having
given a gift attentively, he — wherever the result of that gift ripens — is
rich, with much wealth, with many possessions. And his children, wives, slaves,
servants, and workers listen carefully to him, lend him their ears, and serve
him with understanding hearts.
“Having
given a gift in season, he — wherever the result of that gift ripens — is rich,
with much wealth, with many possessions. And his goals are fulfilled in season.
“Having
given a gift with an empathetic heart, he — wherever the result of that gift
ripens — is rich, with much wealth, with many possessions. And his mind
inclines to the enjoyment of the five strings of lavish sensuality.
“Having
given a gift without adversely affecting himself or others, he — wherever the
result of that gift ripens — is rich, with much wealth, with many possessions.
And not from anywhere does destruction come to his property — whether from
fire, from water, from kings, from thieves, or from hateful heirs.
“These
five are a person of integrity’s gifts.”
Aputtaka Sutta: Heirless (1)
At
Savatthi. Then King Pasenadi Kosala went to the Blessed
One in the middle of the day and, on arrival, having bowed down to the Blessed
One, sat to one side. As he was sitting there the Blessed One said to him,
“Well now, great king, where are you coming from in the middle of the
day?”
“Just
now, lord, a money-lending householder died in Savatthi. I have come from
conveying his heirless fortune to the royal palace: eight million in silver, to
say nothing of the gold. But even though he was a money-lending householder,
his enjoyment of food was like this: he ate broken rice & pickle brine. His
enjoyment of clothing was like this: he wore three lengths of hempen cloth. His
enjoyment of a vehicle was like this: he rode in a dilapidated little cart with
an awning of leaves.”
“That’s
the way it is, great king. That’s the way it is. When a person of no integrity
acquires lavish wealth, he doesn’t provide for his own pleasure &
satisfaction, nor for the pleasure & satisfaction of his parents, nor for
the pleasure & satisfaction of his wife & children; nor for the
pleasure & satisfaction of his slaves, servants, & assistants; nor for
the pleasure & satisfaction of his friends. He doesn’t institute for
priests & contemplatives offerings of supreme aim, heavenly, resulting in
happiness, leading to heaven. When his wealth isn’t properly put to use, kings
make off with it, or thieves make off with it, or fire burns it, or water
sweeps it away, or hateful heirs make off with it. Thus his wealth, not
properly put to use, goes to waste and not to any good use.
“Just as with a pond in a place haunted by non-human beings, with
clear water, cool water, fresh water, clean, with good fords, delightful: No
people would draw water from it or drink it or bathe in it or apply it to their
needs. And so that water, not properly put to use, would go to waste and not to
any good use. In the same way, when a person of no integrity acquires lavish
wealth… his wealth, not properly put to use, goes to waste and not to any
good use.
“But
when a person of integrity acquires lavish wealth, he provides for his own
pleasure & satisfaction, for the pleasure & satisfaction of his
parents, the pleasure & satisfaction of his wife & children; the
pleasure & satisfaction of his slaves, servants, & assistants; and the
pleasure & satisfaction of his friends. He institutes for priests &
contemplatives offerings of supreme aim, heavenly, resulting in happiness,
leading to heaven. When his wealth is properly put to use, kings don’t make off
with it, thieves don’t make off with it, fire doesn’t burn it, water doesn’t
sweep it away, and hateful heirs don’t make off with it. Thus his wealth,
properly put to use, goes to a good use and not to waste.
“Just as with a pond not far from a town or village, with clear
water, cool water, fresh water, clean, with good fords, delightful. People
would draw water from it or drink it or bathe in it or apply it to their needs.
And so that water, properly put to use, would go to a good use and not to
waste. In the same way, when a person of integrity acquires lavish wealth…
his wealth, properly put to use, goes to a good use and not to waste.”
That is
what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher,
said further:
Like water in a haunted place that, without being
imbibed, dries up: such is the wealth acquired by a worthless person who
neither enjoys it himself nor gives. But one enlightened
& knowing, on acquiring wealth, enjoys it & performs his duties. He, a
bull among men, having supported his kin, without blame goes to the land of
heaven.
Aputtaka Sutta: Heirless (2)
Translator’s note: It might come
as something of a surprise that the Buddha, in this discourse, seems to speak
favorably of the lavish enjoyment of sensual pleasures. Taken in light of his
teachings in AN 5.41, his remarks here are less surprising.
There he points out that the enjoyment of pleasure is one of the legitimate
rewards of wealth, although the proper enjoyment of wealth doesn’t end there.
In this discourse, he speaks of a man who, because of his past kamma, couldn’t
even enjoy sensual pleasures. This is a useful discourse for illustrating the
point that the Buddha’s ultimate rejection of sensual pleasure is not that of a
man who was too aversive or stingy to enjoy them. Rather, he rejects them because
he was capable of enjoying them but realized that this sort of enjoyment was
not the path to true happiness.
As for
the moneylender mentioned in this discourse, even though his inability to enjoy
his wealth can be traced to attitudes in the past, his unwillingness to make
merit in this lifetime is not the fault of his past kamma. People are always
free to choose to practice the Dhamma at any time. In his case, he chose not
to. Thus he got no legitimate use out of his wealth at all.
At
Savatthi. Then King Pasenadi Kosala went to the Blessed One in the middle of
the day and, on arrival, having bowed down to the Blessed One, sat to one side.
As he was sitting there the Blessed One said to him, “Well now, great
king, where are you coming from in the middle of the day?”
“Just
now, lord, a money-lending householder died in Savatthi. I have come from
conveying his heirless fortune to the royal palace: ten million in silver, to
say nothing of the gold. But even though he was a money-lending householder,
his enjoyment of food was like this: he ate broken rice & pickle brine. His
enjoyment of clothing was like this: he wore three lengths of hempen cloth. His
enjoyment of a vehicle was like this: he rode in a dilapidated little cart with
an awning of leaves.”
“That’s
the way it is, great king. That’s the way it is. Once in the past that
money-lending householder provided alms for the Private Buddha named Tagarasikhi. Saying [to his servant], ‘Give alms to the
contemplative,’ he got up from his seat and left. After giving, though, he felt
regret: ‘It would have been better if my slaves or servants had eaten those
alms.’ And he also murdered his brother’s only heir for the sake of his
fortune. Now, the result of his action in having provided alms for the Private
Buddha named Tagarasikhi was that he appeared seven times in a good
destination, the heavenly world. And through the remaining result of that
action he acted as money-lender seven times in this very same Savatthi. But the
result of his action in feeling regret after giving [those] alms — ‘It would
have been better if my slaves or servants had eaten those alms’ — was that his
mind didn’t lend itself to the lavish enjoyment of food, didn’t lend itself to
the lavish enjoyment of clothing, didn’t lend itself to the lavish enjoyment of
a vehicle, didn’t lend itself to the lavish enjoyment of the five strings of
sensuality. The result of his action in having murdered his
brother’s only heir for the sake of his fortune was that he boiled in hell for
many years, many hundreds of years, many thousands of years, many
hundred-thousands of years. And through the remaining result of that action he
has left this seventh heirless fortune to the royal treasury.
“Now,
because of the wasting away of that money-lending householder’s old merit and
his non-accumulation of new merit, he is today boiling in the Great
Roruva hell.”
“So
he has reappeared in the Great Roruva hell, lord?”
“Yes,
great king. He has reappeared in the Great Roruva hell.”
That is
what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher,
said further:
Grain, wealth, silver, gold, or whatever other belongings
you have; slaves, servants, errand-runners, & any dependents: you must go
without taking any of them; you must leave all of them behind. What
you do with body, speech, or mind: that is yours; taking that you go;
that’s your follower, like a shadow that never leaves. Thus you
should do what is fine as a stash for the next life. Acts of merit are the
support for beings in their after-death world.
Mayawati condemns action on Ramdev, wants SC probe
Bangalore: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati has
condemned the police action against Baba Ramdev and his supporters “in
the strongest terms” and asked the Supreme Court to order a probe as
“justice cannot be expected from the Centre” in the issue.
Mayawati termed the crackdown at the Ramlila Maidan as “inhuman”,
“undemocratic” and “condemnable”. “Our party condemns this in the
strongest terms”, she said at the beginning of her speech at the
day-long conference of BSP’s Karnataka office-bearers here.
Mayawati termed the crackdown at the Ramlila Maidan as “inhuman”, “undemocratic” and “condemnable”. Reuters
Mayawati made what she termed as a request through the media to the
Supreme Court, to take “special note” of the developments and issue
directions for an independent and separate probe into the issue by the
National Human Rights Commission, the National Commission for Women and
the National SC/ST Commission.
“In addition, our party requests the honourable Supreme Court to
order a judicial enquiry, or whichever probe it deems necessary”,
Mayawati said, adding, heavy punishment should be given to the guilty so
that such “goondaism” is not unleashed on anybody sitting in dharna in
any part of the country.
She said the BSP was seeking the apex court’s intervention because
“whatever happened” at the Ramlila Maidan was at the direction of the
Central Government, from which “justice cannot now be expected” in this
case.

Mayawati announces new Land Acquisition Policy
Uttar Pradesh, Chief
Minister Mayawati has announced that all future land transactions will be
clinched directly between the farmers and the private developers by adopting a
“consensual approach.”
“The role of the
government now would be that of a facilitator only, limited to issuing a
notification under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894,” the Chief
Minister said while announcing the new Land Acquisition Policy of the State on
Thursday.
This is the second such
policy to be announced by the Mayawati regime in the last nine months; the
earlier policy was declared on September 3, 2010.
The new policy will be
implemented with prospective effect and will not apply to the acquisition of
land made under the earlier policy. The announcement of the new policy followed
a “kisan panchayat” addressed by the Chief Minister. The panchayat was attended
by farmers’ representatives from the Bharatiya Kisan Union, including its
general secretary Rakesh Tikait, and those from Tappal and Bhatta and Parsaul.
Talks with farmers
Ms. Mayawati said the new
policy had been framed after elaborate discussions with the farmers’
representatives. “The new policy will be implemented with prospective effect,
but any further suggestions made by the farmers will be added by issuing
separate GOs,” Ms. Mayawati told reporters. Describing the new policy declared
by her on Thursday, Ms. Mayawati claimed it would be better than the
“proposed land acquisition policy of the UPA government.”
She said the land acquisition policy would be raised by the Bahujan
Samaj Party (BSP) in the monsoon session of the Lok Sabha and if the Centre’s
policy was not announced the BSP would gherao Parliament.
The State’s new Land
Acquisition Policy has been divided into three parts. The first part deals with
the direct transfer of land from farmers to private developers, with the State
(district administration) playing the role of facilitator. The policy states
that the land acquisition package will be prepared only after the terms and
conditions have been approved by 70 per cent of the farmers whose land is to be
acquired for the project. If 70 per cent of the farmers do not agree, the
project proposal will be reconsidered.
The farmers have been
given the option of taking 16 per cent of the land developed for the project
along with annuity at the rate of Rs. 23,000 per acre for 33 years. The farmers
can also opt for cash component in lieu of a portion of the 16 per cent
developed land. The annuity rate has been increased from Rs. 20,000 to Rs.
23,000 per acre with an annual increase of Rs. 800 per acre. Farmers who wish
to forego annuity will be entitled to a rehabilitation grant at the rate of Rs.2.76
lakh per acre. The rehabilitation grant in the September 2010 policy was at the
rate of Rs. 2.40 lakh per acre.
According to the second
part of the policy, those farmers whose agricultural land has been acquired for
building State highways and canals will be entitled to all the benefits
accruing under the Relief and Rehabilitation Policy, 2010 of the State. Apart
from the rehabilitation grant, 25 per cent shares of the developer company will
be allotted to the farmer and one member of each farmer’s family will be given
a job in the company.
In the third part of the
policy where land has been acquired by the development authorities under the
master plan, the deal will be executed only abiding by the terms of agreement
through a consensual approach.
The rural areas of the
State will be assured of 14 hours of power supply from July 1. The district
magistrates have been directed to conduct meetings with farmers on the 22nd of
every month to discuss their problems.
These directives were
issued by Ms. Mayawati at the conclusion of the ‘kisan panchayat’ here.
The Chief Minister also
announced that the entire cost of damage to farmers’ property at Bhatta-Parsaul
villages in Greater Noida in the wake of the violence on May 7 would be borne
by the State government.

Govt. is based on ‘Sarvajan
Hitay – Sarvajan Sukhay’
Important and Historic Initiative for Law
& Order and Crime Control
1. Since the formation of the present
government in Uttar Pradesh, on 13 May, 2007 till date, an Unprecedented
environment of “peace and order and communal harmony, free from injustice,
crime and fear” has been created by giving “top priority” to “law-order and
crime control” for which several important decisions had to be taken with iron
resolve at the different levels e.g:
2. Rigorous and effective action taken
against more than 1 lakh known notorious criminals/Mafiosi.
3. 1.707 notorious criminals detained under
the most stringent “National Security Act (NSA)”.
4. Strict action taken under th “Gangster
Act” against about 40,000 professional offenders.
5. A total of 8.013 notorious delequents,
carrying reward on their heads, were arrested, including those “carrying on the
head a reward” upto Rs.5 lakh.
6. Another 374 notorious criminals carrying
reward, between Rs.50,000 – Rs. 5,00,000 were “killed” by the police in self
defence.
7. Also, thousands of anti-social elements/goondas
and white-collar criminals were sent to their right place i.e. behind the bars
in the “jail”.
8. For the first in the state, action was
also taken against “ influencial people and those occupying high positions”
found guilty of breaching the law, establishing the motto “all wequal before
the law” under which several ministers, ex-ministers, MPs and legislators were
proceeded against leagally with due strictness.
9. “Historic action” continues, without let
or hinderance, against arrant criminals and Mafiosi to “confisticat their
ill-gotten wealth” in order to break the economic backbone. Property worth more
than Rs. 443 crore forfeited so far.
10. Elimination of fierce dacoits – synonymous

Patel i.e. Thokia, Mussafir Yadav, carrying a reward of Rs.2lakh from Bihar
atate and Santosh alias Kittu Gupta with a reward of Rs. 1.5 lakh besides,

under the previous government, 10,000 cases filed through a “special campaign”
and action taken against 31,136 persons. “Legal” action also initiated against
those trying to register “fake” reports.
14. The area of ‘jungle raj’, goonda tax,
‘mafia rule’ and ‘anarchy’ inherited in legacy, ends, entirely due to the
“missionary and struggling” efforts of Hon’ble Chief Ninister Ms. Mayawati JI.
People, coming out of the suffocating “jungle raj”, breathing in, today, the
wiff of fresh air of the “rule of law by law”.
15. The result of such strict action was that
an environment of “ communal harmony” continued to exist and no untoward
incident occurred in the whole of the state, in light of the court decision on
the very sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi/Babri Masjid “case”. The peaceful conditions
prevailed in Uttar Pradesh, there was calm and quiet in other states of the
country as well.

all crimes against “women” in the state.
23. The percentage of action was 94.1, last

women in Uttar Pradesh is much less than even the national average.
24. The effort to secure “justice” in every
matter and at every level to every
segment of the society and the sarv-samaj, the poor people, farmers, labourers,
