Giving such as this is called lacking compassion and not knowing how to repay kindness. When this person obtains wealth and treasures in the future, they will constantly be lost and not accumulate, he will be unable to disburse and use them, and his body will suffer much illness and distress." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 80.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.20) - [Next: 80.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.22) - [Up: 80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122~en-mt.80.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.80.21) · Pramāṇa
