Brahmin Ujjayaperson

Ujjaya the brahmin asks about sacrifice; the Buddha contrasts violent sacrifice, where creatures are killed, with the non-violent and propitious offering that even the deities are pleased with.

The brahmin Ujjaya, about to travel abroad, asks for a teaching for welfare and happiness in both lives, and the Buddha gives four things that bring happiness in this life—initiative, protection, good friendship, and balanced finances—and four for the next—faith, ethics, generosity, and wisdom.
