第廿七「云何慳心?謂隨順為己亦與他法」者,謂此人諸有所作,皆悉為自身,故財物伎藝乃至善法皆好祕惜不以惠人。有此相者,知是慳心。以念施及無常等,為所對治。當念財物伎能,設無常時,無有隨我去者。然今此身,念念不可自保,何惜此耶?
The twenty-seventh: "What is the stingy mind? It is following along for oneself and also sharing with others." This means that in whatever this person does, it is entirely for their own sake; thus, with regard to wealth, arts and crafts, and even wholesome teachings, they are fond of keeping them secret and begrudging them, not bestowing them upon others. One who has these characteristics should be known as having the stingy mind. Recollecting generosity, impermanence, and the like serves as its antidote. One should reflect: "When impermanence arrives, neither wealth nor skills and abilities will accompany me. Now, this present body cannot even preserve itself from moment to moment; why begrudge these?"
