80.17

復有三事。施已不得勝妙果報。一先多發心後則少與。二選擇惡物持以施人。三既行施已心生悔恨。復有八事施已不得成就上果。一施已見受者過。二施時心不平等。三施已求受者作。四施已喜自讚歎。五說無後乃與之。六施已惡口罵詈。七施已求還二倍。八施已生於疑心。如是施主則不能得親遇諸佛賢聖之人。若以具足色香味觸。施於彼者。是名淨施。

Furthermore, there are three matters through which, having given, one does not attain a supreme and wondrous karmic fruit: first, first generating a vast intention and later giving little; second, picking out poor-quality goods to give to others; third, having carried out the gift, giving rise to regret and resentment in one's mind. Furthermore, there are eight matters through which, having given, one does not attain the superior fruit: first, having given, seeing the faults of the recipient; second, when giving, the mind is not impartial; third, having given, seeking service from the recipient; fourth, having given, delighting in praising oneself; fifth, saying one has nothing and only giving later; sixth, having given, using harsh speech to curse and revile; seventh, having given, demanding twofold in return; eighth, having given, giving rise to doubts. A donor such as this will not be able to directly meet the buddhas, worthy ones, and āryas. If one provides fully endowed form, scent, taste, and tangibility and gives them to the other, this is called pure giving."
