SN 55.44 Rich (1st) – Paṭhamamahaddhanasutta
“Bhikkhū, a noble disciple who has four things is said to be rich, affluent, and wealthy.
“Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccati.
What four?
Katamehi catūhi?
It’s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha …
Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato hoti—
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti;
the teaching …
dhamme …pe…
the Saṅgha …
saṅghe …pe…
And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones … leading to samādhi.
ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgato hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi.
A noble disciple who has these four things is said to be rich, affluent, and wealthy.”
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato ariyasāvako ‘aḍḍho mahaddhano mahābhogo’ti vuccatī”ti.
