Furthermore, the Upāsakaśīla-sūtra states: 'The Buddha said: "When a bodhisattva practices dāna, he distances himself from four evils: first, breaking the precepts; second, the net of doubt; third, wrong views; fourth, stinginess. Furthermore, he departs from five dharmas: first, when giving, not choosing between the virtuous and the non-virtuous; second, when giving, not speaking of good and bad; third, when giving, not selecting caste; fourth, when giving, not scorning the petitioner; fifth, when giving, not using harsh speech to curse and revile.'
