What eight? Not rehearsing is the stain of hymns. Neglect is the stain of houses. Laziness is the stain of beauty. Negligence is a guard\u2019s stain. Misconduct is a woman\u2019s stain. Stinginess is a giver\u2019s stain. Bad, unskillful qualities are a stain in this world and the next. Worse than any of these is ignorance, the worst stain of all. These are the eight stains. Not rehearsing is the stain of hymns. The stain of houses is neglect. Laziness is the stain of beauty. A guard\u2019s stain is negligence. Misconduct is a woman\u2019s stain. A giver\u2019s stain is stinginess. Bad qualities are a stain in this world and the next.
