Miserliness

Translated from the Pali
by Sister Upalavanna

[1][pts] I heard thus.

At one time The Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthī.

Bhikkhus, these seven are the bonds.

What seven?

The bonds of falling in with,
aversion,
views,
doubts,
measuring,
jealousy
and selfishness.

Bhikkhus, these seven are the bonds.
