Overcoming 

21 


laziness! 

e are again at the beginning of another 

year, 2018. Usually, at the beginning 

of a year we make plans, we make 

determinations to do things or new resolutions 

in order to change a practice we do not want to 

continue doing or add a new routine that would 

uplift our lives. In terms of everyday life, these 

resolutions could be things like; completing an 

exam, working hard towards a promotion at the 

office, going to gym four days a week, go on a 

long due holiday or anything that you think is 

important to make your life better. 

In terms of the noble path, these resolutions 

could be things like; going to the temple once 

a week, observing sil on poya days, meditating 

every day for 30 minutes, listening to a Dhamma 

sermon every other day or anything that lacked 

before in your practice and you honestly want to 

do. However, even though we honestly try so hard 

to keep up these new good practices, our interest 

slackens after a few months. The new practices we 

started off with great energy in January begins to 

slow down by March or April and by around August 

they stop and we even forget that we had these 

resolutions. This is true for many of us, and we 

can list down hundreds of reasons why we could 

not keep up with these new routines that we can 

definitely benefit from. However, the main reason 

for falling back from a good practice is ‘laziness’. 

You might not agree on this, but once you read 

the Kusita-Arambhavattu sutta of the Anguttara 

nikaya, in the following paragraphs, you will 

understand how true it is. In this sutta the Lord 

Buddha explains how we give into laziness and 

postpone things. That ‘laziness’ comes disguised as 

‘rest’ or as ‘recovery’ (from hard work or illness). 

In this sutta the Lord Buddha explains that there 

are 8 ways in which laziness overtakes us; 8 grounds 

of laziness. The translation of the noble sutta is thus; 

"Monks, there are these eight grounds for 

laziness. Which eight? 

"There is the case where a monk has some work 

to do. The thought occurs to him: 'I have this work 

to do. Once I have done this work, my body will 

be tired. Why don't I lie down?' So he lies down. 

He doesn't make an effort for the attaining of 

the as-yet-unattained, the reaching of the as-yetunreached, 

the realization of the as-yet-unrealized. 

This is the first grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has done 

some work. The thought occurs to him: 'I have 

done some work. Now my body is tired. Why don't 

I lie down?' So he lies down… This is the second 

grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has to 

go on a long journey. The thought occurs to him: 

'I will have to go on this journey. Once I go on 

the journey, my body will be tired. Why don't I lie 

down?' So he lies down... This is the third grounds 

for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has gone 

on a journey. The thought occurs to him: 'I have 

gone on a journey. Now my body is tired. Why don't 

I lie down?' So he lies down… This is the fourth 

grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk, having 

gone for alms in a village or town, does not get 

as much coarse or refined food as he needs to fill 

himself up. The thought occurs to him: 'I, having 

gone for alms in a village or town, have not gotten 

as much coarse or refined food as I need to fill 

myself up. This body of mine is tired & unsuitable for 

work. Why don't I lie down?' So he lies down… This 

is the fifth grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk, having 

gone for alms in a village or town, does get as much 

coarse or refined food as he needs to fill himself up. 

The thought occurs to him: 'I, having gone for alms 

in a village or town, have gotten as much coarse 

or refined food as I need to fill myself up. This body 

of mine is heavy & unsuitable for work, as if I were 

many months pregnant. Why don't I lie down?' So 

he lies down… This is the sixth grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk comes 

down with a slight illness. The thought occurs to 

him: 'I have come down with a slight illness. There's 

a need to lie down.' So he lies down… This is the 

seventh grounds for laziness. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has 

recovered from his illness, not long after his 

recovery. The thought occurs to him: 'I have 

recovered from my illness. It's not long after my 

recovery. This body of mine is weak & unsuitable 

for work. Why don't I lie down?' So he lies down. 

He doesn't make an effort for the attaining of 

the as-yet-unattained, the reaching of the as-yetunreached, 

the realization of the as-yet-unrealized. 

This is the eighth grounds for laziness. 

"These are the eight grounds for laziness.” 

This noble sutta is said to the monks, as the Lord 

Buddha is often accompanied by bhikkhus. If we 

apply these grounds of laziness to ourselves, and 

honestly think about us, we can see how true this is. 

If I summarize the sutta according our life; 

1. We often rest before doing some big task 

thinking this work will exhaust us, so better rest 

now. 

2. After finishing a big task we always lie down. 

3. Before a long journey we may rest, thinking 

about how hard it will be. 

4. After a long journey we find time to lie down 

for sure. 

5. If we didn’t eat properly then we don’t feel like 

doing anything. 

6. If we eat too much then we try to at 

least sit for a while. 

7. Sometimes a small cough is enough 

to make us have some rest. 

8. After recovering from an illness we 

always think, it’s better to rest to avoid 

relapsing. 

These are pointed out by the most 

compassionate teacher, not to ridicule us or make 

us feel bad about what we do, but to tell us that this 

is happening. So, if one wants to come out of it, he/ 

she can make the effort. We use the time that we 

assign for our resolutions for lying down or resting, 

and that makes us postpone our work. So after a 

few months, we get back to our old routines and 

lose our interest in doing things that are good for 

us; our resolutions. 

Next, the Lord Buddha explains how to 

overcome this. they are explained as arousal of 

energy. 

"There are these eight grounds for the arousal of 

energy. Which eight? 

"There is the case where a monk has some work 

to do. The thought occurs to him: 'I will have to do 

this work. But when I am doing this work, it will not 

be easy to attend to the Buddha's message. Why 

don't I make an effort beforehand for the attaining 

of the as-yet-unattained, the reaching of the as-yetunreached, 

the realization of the as-yet-unrealized?' 

So he makes an effort for the attaining of the as-yetunattained, 

the reaching of the as-yet-unreached, 

the realization of the as-yet-unrealized. This is the 

first grounds for the arousal of energy. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has done 

some work. The thought occurs to him: 'I have 

done some work. While I was doing work, I couldn't 

attend to the Buddha's message. Why don't I … This 

is the second grounds for the arousal of energy. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has to go 

on a journey. The thought occurs to him: 'I will have 

to go on this journey. But when I am going on the 

journey, it will not be easy to attend to the Buddha's 

message. Why don't I … This is the third grounds for 

the arousal of energy. 

"Then there is the case where a monk has 

gone on a journey. The thought occurs to him: 'I 

have gone on a journey. While I was going on the 

journey, I couldn't attend to the Buddha's message.
