2: The Chapter about Heedfulness – 38<br />

Heedfulness consumes the fetters<br />

A monk was given a meditation subject but could make no<br />

progress, so he determined to return to the Buddha; on his<br />

way he saw a great fire burn down a forest, and the Buddha<br />

appeared to him and taught him with this verse.<br />

31. Appamādarato bhikkhu, pamāde bhayadassivā,<br />

saṁyojanaṁ aṇuṁ-thūlaṁ ḍahaṁ aggīva gacchati.<br />

A monastic who delights in<br />

heedfulness, seeing danger in<br />

heedlessness, advances like fire<br />

against the fetter, small or large.
