Not for a Golden Hundredweight
Rūpiyapāti (SN 17.12)
On another occasion, also at Savatthi, The Lucky Man said this:
Hard, Beggars, are Fame, Favors and Gains; cutting, rough obstructions to securing the ultimate refuge from bondage.
As far as that goes, Beggars, I have seen a man, encompassing his heart with my heart, who would not for the sake of a gold hundred-weight deliberately tell a lie, telling lies for the sake of Fame, Favors and Gains.
Even this hard, Beggars, are Fame, Favors and Gains; cutting, rough obstructions to securing the ultimate refuge from bondage.
Wherefore, Beggars, train yourselves this way: "When Fame, Favors and Gains come to us, we will let them go, and not let them take lasting hold on our heart."
This is the way you must train yourselves.
