Ādiya Sutta
Taught at Jetavana to Anāthapiṇḍika on the five uses (ādiyā) of possessions legitimately obtained:
- one enjoys them oneself;
- entertains with them one’s friends and relations;
- uses them in times of need;
- employs them in the discharge of one’s duties to the king, to religion, to one’s relations, both living and dead; and
- doing good deeds that will bring happiness in future lives.
