11.1
‘Macchariyaṃ paṭicca ārakkho’ti iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ, tadānanda, imināpetaṃ pariyāyena veditabbaṃ, yathā macchariyaṃ paṭicca ārakkho.
‘Stinginess gives rise to safeguarding’—that’s what I said. And this is a way to understand how this is so.
11.2
Macchariyañca hi, ānanda, nābhavissa sabbena sabbaṃ sabbathā sabbaṃ kassaci kimhici, sabbaso macchariye asati macchariyanirodhā api nu kho ārakkho paññāyethā”ti?
Suppose there were totally and utterly no stinginess for anyone anywhere. When there’s no stinginess at all, with the cessation of stinginess, would safeguarding still be found?”
11.3
“No hetaṃ, bhante”.
“No, sir.”
11.4
“Tasmātihānanda, eseva hetu etaṃ nidānaṃ esa samudayo esa paccayo ārakkhassa, yadidaṃ macchariyaṃ.
“That’s why this is the cause, source, origin, and reason of safeguarding, namely stinginess.
