- Namo tassa bhagavato arahato sammā-sambuddhassa -

“There are these four wheels, endowed with which human beings & devas develop a four-wheeled prosperity; endowed with which human beings & devas in no long time achieve greatness & abundance in terms of wealth. Which four? Living in a civilized land, associating with people of integrity, directing oneself rightly, and having done merit in the past. These are the four wheels, endowed with which human beings & devas develop a four-wheeled prosperity; endowed with which human beings & devas in no long time achieve greatness & abundance in terms of wealth.

“If you dwell in a civilized place, make friends with the noble ones, rightly direct yourself, and have made merit in the past, there will roll to you crops, wealth, status, honor, & happiness.”
