Are you a man?

[Alavaka]

Unknown author

What wealth here is best for man?

What well practiced will happiness bring?

What taste excels all other tastes?

How lived is the life they say is best?

[The Buddha:]

Faith is the wealth here best for man;

Dhamma well practiced shall happiness bring;

Truth indeed all other tastes excels;

Life wisely lived they say is best.

(Alavaka Sutta: Discourse to Alavaka SN 10.12)
