    Five Kinds of Stinginess

    “පඤ්චිමානි, භික්ඛවේ, මච්ඡරියානි. කතමානි පඤ්ච? ආවාසමච්ඡරියං, කුලමච්ඡරියං, ලාභමච්ඡරියං, වණ්ණමච්ඡරියං, ධම්මමච්ඡරියං—ඉමානි ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච මච්ඡරියානි. ඉමේසං ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්චන්නං මච්ඡරියානං ඒතං පටිකුට්ඨං, යදිදං ධම්මමච්ඡරියන්”ති.

    “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.”
