2.191

The Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna-sūtra says: 'This fault of heedlessness is the most prominent of all faults.' A verse also says: 'The foolish delight in heedlessness / And constantly undergo various afflictions. / If one is free from heedlessness, / One attains constant peace and joy. / Of all the trees of suffering, / Heedlessness is the root. / Therefore, desiring to be free from suffering, / One should abandon heedlessness.' It also says: 'Acting in accord with the Dharma and keeping far from heedlessness shuts the gates to all evil destinies.'
