Five Kinds of Stinginess
“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, मच्छरियानि। कतमानि पञ्च? आवासमच्छरियं, कुलमच्छरियं, लाभमच्छरियं, वण्णमच्छरियं, धम्ममच्छरियं—इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च मच्छरियानि। इमेसं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चन्नं मच्छरियानं एतं पटिकुट्ठं, यदिदं धम्ममच्छरियन्”ति।
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, macchariyāni. Katamāni pañca? Āvāsamacchariyaṁ, kulamacchariyaṁ, lābhamacchariyaṁ, vaṇṇamacchariyaṁ, dhammamacchariyaṁ—imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca macchariyāni. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ macchariyānaṁ etaṁ paṭikuṭṭhaṁ, yadidaṁ dhammamacchariyan”ti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five kinds of stinginess. What five? Stinginess with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teachings. These are the five kinds of stinginess. The most contemptible of these five kinds of stinginess is stinginess with the teachings.”
