Gifts of an Untrue Person Asappurisadānasutta

“Mendicants, there are these five gifts of an untrue person. “Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, asappurisadānāni. What five? Katamāni pañca? They give carelessly. They give thoughtlessly. They don’t give with their own hand. They give the dregs. They give without consideration for consequences. Asakkaccaṁ deti, acittīkatvā deti, asahatthā deti, apaviddhaṁ deti, anāgamanadiṭṭhiko deti. These are the five gifts of an untrue person. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca asappurisadānāni.

They don’t give the dregs. They give with consideration for consequences. Sakkaccaṁ deti, cittīkatvā deti, sahatthā deti, anapaviddhaṁ deti, āgamanadiṭṭhiko deti. These are the five gifts of a true person.” Imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sappurisadānānī”ti.
