sn16.4:2.1 “Whoever visits families with the thought:
sn16.4:2.2 ‘May they give to me, may they not fail to give.
sn16.4:2.3 May they give a lot, not a little.
sn16.4:2.4 May they give me fine things, not coarse.
sn16.4:2.5 May they give quickly, not slowly.
sn16.4:2.6 May they give carefully, not carelessly.’
sn16.4:2.7 If a mendicant with such a thought approaches a family and they don’t give, the mendicant feels slighted. And they experience pain and sadness because of that.
sn16.4:2.8 If they give only a little …
sn16.4:2.9 if they give coarse things …
sn16.4:2.10 if they give slowly …
sn16.4:2.11 if they give carelessly, the mendicant feels slighted. And they experience pain and sadness because of that.
sn16.4:2.12 That kind of mendicant is not worthy of visiting families.
