With the Cattle-owner Dhaniya

With the Cattle-owner Dhaniya - Buddhism - translated by Bhikkhu Sīlācāra

A poetic dialogue contrasting the wealth and security of lay life with the wealth and security of a person who has lived the renunciate life to its culmination. If you have trouble relating to someone like Dhaniya who measures his wealth in cattle, then when reading this poem substitute stocks and bonds for cows and bulls, and economic downturn for rain.
