Five Kinds of Stinginess

“ปญฺจิมานิ, ภิกฺขเว, มจฺฉริยานิฯ กตมานิ ปญฺจ? อาวาสมจฺฉริยํ, กุลมจฺฉริยํ, ลาภมจฺฉริยํ, วณฺณมจฺฉริยํ, ธมฺมมจฺฉริยํ—อิมานิ โข, ภิกฺขเว, ปญฺจ มจฺฉริยานิฯ อิเมสํ โข, ภิกฺขเว, ปญฺจนฺนํ มจฺฉริยานํ เอตํ ปฏิกุฏฺฐํ, ยทิทํ ธมฺมมจฺฉริยนฺ”ติฯ

“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.”
