129. “But, Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more supportive of this Beautiful and Good Dhamma, promoting its healthy continuity, non-degeneration and its non-disappearance, than having the desire for and the pursuit of good and beneficial habits, as a result of which the essence of The Teachings is kept alive and undeterred, where there is no confusion or uncertainty in the hearts and minds of people about The Dhamma, and beings attain Its highest Fruits. “Therefore, Bhikkhus, because of having the desire for and the pursuit of good and beneficial habits, This Beautiful and Good Dhamma will continue to thrive, and those who taste Its Fruits will continue to flourish.”
