§ 23.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "This one quality, if developed & pursued, keeps both kinds of benefit in hand: benefit in this life & benefit in lives to come. Which one quality? Heedfulness with regard to skillful qualities. This is the one quality that, if developed & pursued, keeps both kinds of benefit in hand: benefit in this life & benefit in lives to come."

They praise heedfulness, the wise,
in doing acts of merit.
When heedful, wise,
you achieve both kinds of benefit:
    benefit    in this life,
    & benefit    in lives to come.

By breaking through to your benefit,
you're called enlightened,
    wise.
