116. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more damaging to This Beautiful and Good Dhamma, leading to its rapid degeneration and hastening its inevitable disappearance, than living with laziness, as a result of which distortions of The Teachings arise, creating confusion and uncertainties in the minds of people.

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, because of living with laziness, This Beautiful and Good Dhamma will degenerate and disappear.”
