Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

2: The Chapter about Heedfulness – 39
The heedful are close to Nibbāna
Nigamavāsī Tissa lived near Sāvatthi and after he ordained he
only went to his local village for alms; the monks blamed him
but the Buddha praised him for being frugal and content, and
spoke this verse praising his way of life.
32. Appamādarato bhikkhu, pamāde bhayadassivā,
abhabbo parihānāya: Nibbānasseva santike.
A monastic who delights in
heedfulness, seeing danger in
heedlessness, does not fall away:
he is well-nigh to Nibbāna.
