[1][pts] "Without abandoning these five qualities,
one is incapable of realizing the fruit of once-returning.

Which five?

Stinginess as to one's monastery [lodgings],
stinginess as to one's family [of supporters],
stinginess as to one's gains,
stinginess as to one's status,
and stinginess as to the Dhamma.

Without abandoning these five qualities,
one is incapable of realizing the fruit of once-returning.

"With the abandoning of these five qualities,
one is capable of realizing the fruit of once-returning.

Which five?

Stinginess as to one's monastery [lodgings],
stinginess as to one's family [of supporters],
stinginess as to one's gains,
stinginess as to one's status,
and stinginess as to the Dhamma.

With the abandoning of these five qualities,
one is capable of realizing the fruit of once-returning."
