Macchariyasutta  Stinginess

“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, macchariyāni.  “Mendicants, there are these five kinds of stinginess.
Katamāni pañca?  What five?
Āvāsamacchariyaṁ, kulamacchariyaṁ, lābhamacchariyaṁ, vaṇṇamacchariyaṁ, dhammamacchariyaṁ—  Stinginess with dwellings, families, material things, praise, and the teaching.
imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca macchariyāni.  These are the five kinds of stinginess.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ macchariyānaṁ pahānāya …pe… ime cattāro satipaṭṭhānā bhāvetabbā”ti.  To give up these five kinds of stinginess you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation. …”

Sattamaṁ.
