“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks of overstaying. What five? You become stingy with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teaching. These are the five drawbacks of overstaying.
පඤ්චිමේ, භික්ඛවේ, ආනිසංසා සමවත්ථවාසේ. කතමේ පඤ්ච? න ආවාසමච්ඡරී හෝති, න කුලමච්ඡරී හෝති, න ලාභමච්ඡරී හෝති, න වණ්ණමච්ඡරී හෝති, න ධම්මමච්ඡරී හෝති. ඉමේ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච ආනිසංසා සමවත්ථවාසේ”ති.
There are these five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time. What five? You’re not stingy with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teaching. These are the five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time.”
