24.28

又出家之人。若行財施則妨餘善。遠離阿練若處。必至聚落與白衣從事。多有言說發起三毒。於六度等心薄。乃至貪著五欲捨戒還俗。故名為死。或能反戒。易起重罪。是名死等。諸煩惱苦患。以是因緣故。於出家者稱歎法施。於在家者稱歎財施。

Furthermore, if renunciants practice the giving of wealth, it hinders other wholesome deeds: staying far away from āraṇya hermitages, they must inevitably visit settlements to consort with laypeople, engaging in much talk that gives rise to the three poisons, their minds growing weak regarding the six perfections and so forth, even craving the five desires, abandoning the precepts, and returning to secular life—hence it is called death. Or they might violate the precepts and readily give rise to grave sins; this is called being equal to death, along with various troubles and suffering of afflictions. For these reasons, the giving of the Dharma is praised in renunciants, and the giving of wealth is praised in householders.
