Adinnadana Veramani

The following is taken from the article “The Five Precepts – Panca Sila” by Maha Upasaka U Nu, published in “The Young Buddhists 1982”, the annual journal of the Singapore Buddha-Yana Organisation (SBYO).

“The beneficial results of refraining from taking another person’s property”:

The person who vigilantly and steadfastly observes the precept of refraining from taking another person’s property reaches the world of Devas on his death. When he expires in the world of Devas, and is reborn in the world of human beings, he is endowed with the following qualities:

1. having great possessions;
2. having untold wealth and riches;
3. having wealth that does not deteriorate;
4. being able to obtain quickly any possessions desired;
5. having riches that cannot be taken away or destroyed by inimical elements;
6. having noble wealth and position;
7. being chief or leader everywhere;
8. not experiencing any lack or unavailability of anything;
9. having a peaceful, unperturbed life.
