Stingy

“Mendicants, a nun with five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there. What five? She is stingy with dwellings, families, material things, praise, and the teaching. A nun with these five qualities is placed in hell as if delivered there.

A nun with five qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there. What five? She is not stingy with dwellings, families, material things, praise, or the teaching. A nun with these five qualities is placed in heaven as if delivered there.”
