5: The Book of the Fives

XXIII. Long Wandering — AN 5.224: Stingy

1“Mendicants, 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.

2There 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.”

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā atinivāse. Katame pañca? Āvāsamaccharī hoti, kulamaccharī hoti, lābhamaccharī hoti, vaṇṇamaccharī hoti, dhammamaccharī hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā atinivāse.

2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthavāse. Katame pañca? Na āvāsamaccharī hoti, na kulamaccharī hoti, na lābhamaccharī hoti, na vaṇṇamaccharī hoti, na dhammamaccharī hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthavāse"ti.

Catutthaṁ.
