114. “Bhikkhus, I do not know of a single thing that is more damaging to This Beautiful and Good Dhamma, leading to its rapid degeneration and hastening its inevitable disappearance, than living without heedfulness, as a result of which distortions of The Teachings arise, creating confusion and uncertainties in the hearts and minds of people. “Therefore, Bhikkhus, because of living without heedfulness, This Beautiful and Good Dhamma will degenerate and disappear.”
