Saddhadeyyam vinipateti.Mp:"When she is given almsfood by others out of faith,without taking the top portion [for herself], she gives it to someone else."The rule against squandering gifts given out of faith is at Vin I 298,1-3:"Bhikkhus,a gift given out of faith should not be squandered.For one who squanders it,there is an offense of wrong doing"(na ca bhikklrave saddhadeyyamLvinipatetabbam;yo vinipateyya,apattidukkatassa).This is an offense because it shows disregard for the generosity of others.After taking the top portion for oneself,however,one can share the rest with others.The Buddha also made a unique allowance for a monastic to give almsfood,cloth,and other gains to his or her parents if they are in need.Possessing these five qualities,a bhikkhunīis depositedin hell as if brought there.
