It can refer to various types of security, including physical security, financial security, and emotional security. The term "surakkhata" is derived from the root word "rakkha" which means to protect or guard. > > In Buddhist teachings, the concept of security is closely related to the idea of refuge or protection. Taking refuge in the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha is seen as a means of achieving ultimate security, both in this life and in the afterlife. > > The importance of security is also emphasized in the Pali Canon, which contains numerous passages on the subject. For example, in the Dhammapada, it is said that "Better than a thousand useless words is one word that brings peace. Better than a thousand useless verses is one verse that brings peace. Better than a hundred useless lines is one line of the law, bringing peace" (Dhp 100-102). This suggests that true security and peace can only be found through the practice of the Dharma. > > Overall, the concept of security in Pali language is multifaceted and has both practical and spiritual dimensions. It emphasizes the importance of protection, both in the physical and emotional sense, as well as the need to seek refuge in the teachings of the Buddha. ## Suttas - AN7.66 Sattasūriyasutta ([link](https://suttacentral.net/an7.66/en/sujato)) - Buddha describes what happens when there are 7 suns.
