Buddhist Stories: Great-Wealth the Treasurer’s Son, Part 3 of 3, Oct .2, 2015

Having led neither the holy life nor riches won while young, they lie around like worn-out bows singing about the past. Always had been, gone, finished, done, past. Nothing for now, nothing for the future. This is the fate of people who have fallen into the snare of worldly pleasure, and making themselves slaves to that habit, and then lost everything, not just their wealth, their health, the family, their future, but also their dignity, the most important. To be a practitioner is a real good life. Even if you are not rich, but you have abundant treasure inside that nobody can take away from you.
