Summary Easy to support does not mean that the monk can take care of himself. Easy to support means that the monk is content with the four requisites he is provided with. Although it is easier to support a monk who uses money, the monk is being supported with unallowable gifts and encouraged to break the Buddha’s rules. Introduction: The Karaniya Metta Sutta brings up the term Subharo, which means easy to support. But the same sutta also says that the monk should not do anything that the wise would criticize.
