There are many, considering themselves even as "Buddhist" who would not give much toward Monks and Priests, yet reminded by the [Sublime Buddha talk](http://zugangzureinsicht.org/html/tipitaka/mn/mn.135.than_en.html) :
>"There is the case where a woman or man is not a giver of food, drink, cloth, sandals, garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, or lighting to brahmans or contemplatives. Through having adopted & carried out such actions, on the break-up of the body, after death he/she reappears in the plane of deprivation... If instead he/she comes to the human state, he/she is poor wherever reborn. This is the way leading to poverty: not to be a giver of food, drink, cloth, sandals, garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, or lighting to brahmans or contemplatives.
Is there any valid way to get around such a future, if holding on such carry out further? Whould the only way out here be claiming that it was not taught, not even such as rebirth?
He says "I give the poor, the animals, those i like...", would he nevertheless face such future if not actually already in such situation?
