Ugga Sutta: To Ugga
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Then Ugga, the king’s chief minister, approached the Blessed One and,
on arrival, having bowed down, sat to one side. As he was sitting there, he
said to the Blessed One: “It’s amazing, lord, & awesome, how
prosperous Migara Rohaneyya is, how great his treasures, how
great his resources!”
[The Buddha:]
“But what is his property, Ugga? What are his great treasures & great
resources?”
“One
hundred thousand pieces of gold, lord, to say nothing of his silver.”
“That is
treasure, Ugga. I don’t say that it’s not. And that treasure is open to fire,
floods, kings, thieves, & hateful heirs. But these seven treasures are not
open to fire, flood, kings, thieves, or hateful heirs. Which seven? The
treasure of conviction, the treasure of virtue, the treasure of conscience, the
treasure of concern, the treasure of listening, the treasure of generosity, the
treasure of discernment. These, Ugga, are the seven treasures that are not open
to fire, flood, kings, thieves, or hateful heirs.
The treasure of conviction, the treasure of virtue, the treasure
of conscience & concern. The treasure of listening, generosity, &
discernment as the seventh treasure. Whoever, man or woman, has these
treasures, has great treasure in the world that no human or divine being can
excel. So conviction & virtue, confidence & Dhamma-vision should be
cultivated by the wise, remembering the Buddhas’ instruction.
