AN.5.255. Macchariyappahānasutta ("Giving Up Stinginess")

Aṅguttara Nikāya ("Collections of Numbered Discourses")

“Mendicants, the spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these five kinds of stinginess. What five? Stinginess with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teachings. The spiritual life is lived to give up and cut out these five kinds of stinginess.”
