法苑珠林 83.10

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [83.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2122.83.10)

又增一阿含經云。若有人懈墮種不善行。於事有損。若能不懈墮此最精妙。所以然者。彌勒菩薩經三十劫應當作佛。我以精進力勇猛之心。使彌勒在後成佛。是故當念精進勿有懈怠。

> Furthermore, the Ekottarika-āgama says: "If someone is lazy and lax, planting unwholesome deeds, there will be loss in his affairs. If one can refrain from being lazy and lax, this is most exquisite. Why is this? Bodhisattva Maitreya was destined to become a Buddha after thirty kalpas; by the power of my vigour and a courageous mind, I caused Maitreya to become a Buddha after me. For this reason, you should mindfully practice vigour and have no laziness."
