"Monks, there are these five forms of stinginess.
1. Stinginess as to one's monastery [lodgings]
2. Stinginess as to one's family [of supporters]
3. Stinginess as to one's gains
4. Stinginess as to one's status
5. Stinginess as to the Dhamma
... And the meanest of these five is this: stinginess as to the Dhamma."
AN 5.254-271
