Over-Staying (Second)

 


 

[1][pts] I Hear Tell:

Once upon a time, Bhagavā, Sāvatthi-town residing.

There then the Lucky Man addressed the beggars gathered round:

"Beggars!"

And the beggars responding:
"Elder!"
the Lucky Man said this:

"There are these five disadvantages of over-staying.

What five?

Having residence-greed,
having supporter-greed,
having gains-greed,
having status-greed,
having Dhamma-greed.

These, beggars, are the five disadvantages from over-staying.

There are these five advantages of regular habitat-rotation.

What five?

Not having residence-greed,
not having supporter-greed,
not having gains-greed,
not having status-greed,
not having Dhamma-greed.

These, beggars, are the five advantages of regular habitat-rotation."
