[398] **Not longing, not stingy** (*apihālu amacchari*): "Longing" (*pihā*) is a term for craving (taṇhā) — that lust, passionate lust … covetousness, greed, the unwholesome root. One in whom this longing has been abandoned, cut off, stilled, allayed, rendered incapable of arising again, burned up by the fire of knowledge (ñāṇa) — he is called "not longing." He does not long for forms, sounds, odors, tastes, tangibles; for family, company, dwelling, gain, fame, praise, pleasure; for robes, almsfood, lodging, or medicinal requisites for the sick; for the sense-desire element, the form element, the formless element; for sense-sphere existence, form existence, formless existence; for percipient existence, non-percipient existence, neither-percipient-nor-non-percipient existence; for one-constituent existence, four-constituent existence, five-constituent existence; for the past, the future, the present; for things seen, heard, sensed, and to be cognized — he does not long for them, does not wish for them, does not delight in them, does not aspire to them, does not hanker after them: therefore he is "not longing."
**Not stingy**: there are five kinds of stinginess: stinginess as to dwellings, stinginess as to family, stinginess as to gain, stinginess as to praise, and stinginess as to Dhamma. Whatever stinginess of such a kind there is — the act of being stingy, the state of stinginess, meanness, niggardliness, tight-fistedness, the ungenerous, grasping state of mind (citta) — this is called stinginess. Moreover, stinginess as to the aggregates (khandha) is also stinginess; stinginess as to the elements (dhātu) is also stinginess; stinginess as to the sense bases (āyatana) is also stinginess; grasping — this is called stinginess. One in whom this stinginess has been abandoned, cut off, stilled, allayed, rendered incapable of arising again, burned up by the fire of knowledge — he is called "not stingy." Thus: **not longing, not stingy**.
