What is treasure? In Longman dictionary of American English, the meaning of treasure is, 1. A group of valuable things, such as gold, silver, jewels, etc., 2. A very valuable and important object such as a painting or ancient.
According to the Buddha’s teaching, there are six characteristics of treasure:
(1) It is wonderful or strange. (It is not a normal, usual and ordinary matter.)
(2) It is likable or adorable.
(3) It is unique, which cannot be made imitation or cannot be faked.
(4) It is rare (to see, to meet, to own, etc.)
(5) It is high worth. It has higher value than many other materials.
(6) It can be owned by classical people, higher standard persons.
So, the Buddha pointed six characteristics of a treasure.
Any way, how do you make a measurement on a thing if it is a treasure or not?
